Effects of a 6-month local vibration training on bone density, muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance in postmenopausal women KU Leuven
Twelve weeks intensive strength training reduces the level of circulating of IL-6 in community-dwelling elderly persons Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Age-related muscle weakness is related to low-grade inflammation, characterised by chronically elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 3 months intensive strength training on the levels of circulating IL-6 and IL-10 in sedentary community-dwelling elderly persons.
METHODS:
Twenty two sedentary community-dwelling elderly volunteers (aged 67 ± 6 ...
Aging and Strength Training Influence Knee Extensor Intermuscular Coherence During Low- and High-Force Isometric Contractions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Aging is associated with reduced maximum force production and force steadiness during low-force tasks, but both can be improved by training. Intermuscular coherence measures coupling between two peripheral surface electromyography (EMG) signals in the frequency domain. It is thought to represent the presence of common input to alpha-motoneurons, but the functional meaning of intermuscular coherence, particularly regarding aging and training, ...
Protein Supplementation after Exercise and before Sleep Does Not Further Augment Muscle Mass and Strength Gains during Resistance Exercise Training in Active Older Men Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: The proposed benefits of protein supplementation on the skeletal muscle adaptive response to resistance exercise training in older adults remain unclear.
Objective: The present study assessed whether protein supplementation after exercise and before sleep augments muscle mass and strength gains during resistance exercise training in older individuals.
Methods: Forty-one older men [mean ± SEM age: 70 ± 1 y; body mass ...

Resistance Exercise Training Increases Muscle Mass and Strength in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the effects of 20 wk resistance exercise training with or without protein supplementation on body composition, muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and aerobic capacity in prostate cancer patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
METHODS: Sixty prostate cancer patients receiving ADT were randomly assigned to perform 20 wk of resistance exercise training with ...
