The effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on endurance performanceBurt, Dean January 2013 (has links)
It is well documented that engaging in resistance exercise can lead to further improvements in endurance performance. Whilst, not fully understood, it is speculated that increased motor unit recruitment, improved muscle coordination and enhanced utilisation of stored elastic energy after resistance-based exercise improves exercise economy. Nevertheless, while prolonged exposure to resistance training improves endurance performance in the long-term, a consequence of such training when unaccustomed is the appearance of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Exercise-induced muscle damage is well known to affect athletic performance requiring muscular strength and power; however, its effects on markers of endurance exercise are unclear. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of EIMD on endurance performance, with an emphasis on the physiological (oxygen uptake; , minute ventilation; ), metabolic (blood lactate; [La]), perceptual (rating of perceived exertion; RPE) and kinematic (stride length; SL, stride frequency; SF) responses during sub-maximal endurance exercise.

A Functional, Immunological, and Physiological Comparison of Cold-water Immersion for Recovery from High-intensity Intermittent ExerciseWhite, Gillian 11 December 2013 (has links)
Cold-water immersion (CWI) is a common recovery modality used to facilitate restoration of pre-exercise muscle force generation and soreness following high-intensity exercise. Although it is commonly used by athletes and commonly studied in sport science, evidence is equivocal regarding its efficacy. We compared 4 CWI protocols (10 or 30 minutes at 10 or 20°C) of different durations and temperatures with passive rest for their effects on drop jump and squat jump height, inflammation (IL-6, IL-10, IL-8, MPO, IL-1β, TNFα, IFNγ, GM-CSF, IL-2), and ratings of soreness/impairment following high-intensity intermittent sprint-exercise. CWI for 10 minutes at 10°C promoted restoration of force generation, while CWI for 30 minutes at 10°C was associated with lower ratings of soreness/impairment, but higher plasma IL-8 and MPO at 2 hours post-exercise. Overall, minor functional benefits of CWI for 10 minutes at 10°C were observed, while longer duration CWI protocols may increase post-exercise inflammation.

The role of sex steroids and puberty on respiratory functionFrodella, Christa Marie 03 November 2015 (has links)
Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a rare severe disease in which patients express asthmatic and allergic symptoms. Little is known about EIA and its pathology. This manuscript presents an hypothesis that combined hormonal (estrogen and progesterone) contraceptive use and stress during puberty alter the immune system and predispose the adult female to EIA. Presented here is what is known about asthma, a much more common disease, and a pilot, experimental paradigm in which EIA is induced in Syrian hamsters.
Asthmatic and allergic cases are much more prevalent in pubescent and adult females than in adult males. Women express higher levels of lung inflammation at stages of their lives when estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest (i.e., the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and menopause).
Combined birth control pills have been utilized by doctors to treat asthmatic women. Contraceptive treatments maintain steady levels of estrogen and progesterone throughout the menstrual cycle.
It is hypothesized that if female hamsters are given constant levels of hormones as well as ovalbumin and exercise challenges during puberty and then have the hormones taken away during adulthood, they will produce abnormal lung sounds and corresponding pathological histology. To test this hypothesis, female Syrian hamsters were treated with ovalbumin, exercise challenge, both and none (the control). They were also treated to maintain constant levels of estrogen and progesterone during puberty. Although the results were inconclusive, the model may demonstrate that constant ovarian hormones, ovalbumin sensitization, and exercise challenges permanently strain the immune system of females in adulthood.

A Comparison Of Differing Modalities Of Exercise on the Acute Satellite Cell Responses in Older AdultsSéguin, Christopher 11 1900 (has links)
Introduction: A hallmark of the human aging process is the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength, a phenomenon commonly referred to as sarcopenia. Although sarcopenia is likely the result of both a reduction in fiber size and a loss of muscle fibers, it has become abundantly clear that sarcopenia is primarily characterized by the reduction in type II fiber size. The mechanism(s) driving this fiber type-specific loss still remain largely unknown, but it has become evident that the dysregulation of a muscle-specific stem cell population called satellite cells (SC) plays an important role in its progression. Luckily, older adults still retain the ability to activate and expand their SC in response to exercise; what remains unclear is which modality of exercise is optimal for promoting SC contribution to skeletal muscle remodelling. We sought to test the hypothesis that both resistance exercise (RE) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) would stimulate greater expansion of SC when compared to traditional aerobic exercise (AE). Furthermore, we also sought to determine potential extrinsic/intrinsic factors that might contribute to regulating the differences in SC behavior across the different modalities of exercise
Methods: Sedentary older men (n=22; 67 ± 4 yr; BMI: 27.0 ± 2.6 kg•m-2 [mean ± SEM]) were randomly assigned to complete an acute bout of either RE (3 sets of leg extensor and press, 95% 10RM, n = 7), HIIT (10 x 1min, 95% maximal heart rate [HRmax], n= 8) or AE (30min, 55-60% HRmax. n = 7). Muscle biopsies were obtained before and at 24h and 48h following each exercise bout, while blood samples were taken before and at 24h after exercise. The SC response was analyzed using immunofluorescent microscopy and whole-muscle mRNA analysis, while the variability in exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) was estimated by analyzing serum samples for creatine kinase (CK) concentration.
Results: The muscle SC content increased 45% (p < 0.001) and 52% (p = 0.001) relative to baseline at 24h and 48h respectively following RE, while HIIT stimulated a significant increase of 33% (p = 0.007) at 48h. Fiber type-specific analysis further revealed that both RE and HIIT were capable of inducing significant increases in both type I and type II-specific SC by 48h post-exercise. Further analysis of individual SC responses also revealed a correlation (r = 0.737, p < 0.001) between the change in SC content across the acute time-course and the relative change in creatine kinase (CK) activity levels 24h post-exercise. The lack of any notable SC expansion following AE was to some degree explained by insufficient changes to cell cycle and myostatin (MSTN)-related genes. Conversely, RE produced the greatest reduction in MSTN mRNA over the 48h time-course while inducing a noticeable decrease of 124% in SMAD3 (a mediator of MSTN signaling) mRNA at 48 post-exercise.
Conclusions: These data illustrate that RE is the most potent stimulator of acute SC activity in older men, while also showing for the first time that of HIIT can induce a SC response in the same population. The positive relationship between the changes in SC content in response to exercise and CK activity levels suggests that the level of muscle damage induced by an exercise type may influence the magnitude of the subsequent SC response. The magnitude of each SC response is also likely influenced by unique changes in MSTN signaling that follow each modality of exercise. / Thesis / Master of Science in Kinesiology

Grape-seed extract (oligomeric proanthocyanidin) or N-acetylcysteine antioxidant supplementation several days before and after an acute bout of plyometric exerciseDelport, Chris J. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis aims to determine whether supplementation with a grape-seed derived antioxidant, oligomeric proanthocyanidin (PCO) or the glutathione precursor, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may prove beneficial as treatment for exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) in athletes. In this double-blind cohort study, 21 healthy, uninjured male rugby-players in mid-season training phase, aged between 18 and 25 years were randomly divided into three treatment groups. Participants received 210 mg PCO, NAC or placebo treatment for 9 consecutive days. The study comprised a 6-day wash-out period (protocol days: -12 to -7), followed by a 6-day supplement loading period (protocol days: -6 to -1) a plyometric exercise intervention (protocol day 0) and continued supplementation for 2 days (protocol days: 1 to 2). The exercise intervention comprised 15 sets of 10 near maximal, vertical plyometric squat jumps. Blood samples and delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) scores were collected on protocol days: -6, 0, 1 and 2. Assessments included serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) concentrations over time as well as a differential circulating leukocyte count (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils). Data analysis of CK activity revealed no significant differences between groups. However, PCO treatment prevented a significant peak in the CK response at 24 h (as seen in the placebo and NAC groups) when compared to baseline, pre and post readings (p<0.05). NAC supplementation significantly improved serum ORAC after the exercise intervention. By 48 h, serum ORAC had improved significantly from readings taken immediately post exercise (p<0.05) only in the NAC group. For all groups, absolute neutrophil counts peaked at 6 h post exercise from baseline or pre readings (p<0.05). In both NAC and placebo treated groups, neutrophil counts had decreased significantly in circulation by 24 h post exercise from the 6 h time-point (p<0.05). However, neutrophil counts only reached significantly lower levels by 48 h post exercise (p<0.05) in the group supplemented with PCO. The monocyte count also peaked significantly at 6 h post exercise when compared with other time-points before and after the exercise intervention (p<0.05) in all treatment groups. Neither antioxidant treatment significantly altered the responses of other leukocyte sub-populations, MDA or sVCAM-1 concentrations where main effects of plyometric exercise was evident. Although not statistically significant, a trend toward diminished sVCAM-1 expression with either antioxidant supplementation was apparent. These findings suggest that PCO supplementation (210mg/d) which includes a 7 day loading period may diminish plyometric EIMD by limiting (but not completely inhibiting) the neutrophil response. Secondary muscle damage may be prevented by partially blunting neutrophil infiltration, rather than only quenching free radicals released during the neutrophil oxidative burst. Furthermore, the finding that NAC supplementation improves serum ORAC only after exercise may provide added benefit when administered in combination with PCO. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierde tesis is daarop gerig om vas te stel of aanvulling met ‘n druifsaadekstrak (DSE) gederiveerde antioksidant: pro-antosianiedoliese oligomeer (PSO), of die glutathione voorloopermolekule, N-asetielsistien (NAS) voordelig beskou kan word as behandeling vir atlete onderhewig aan spierskade veroorsaak deur oefening. Gedurende hierdie dubbelblinde kohort studie is 21 gesonde, manlike rugbyspelers sonder beserings tussen die ouderdom van 18 en 25 jaar in middel-seison fase ewekansig in drie behandelingsgroepe verdeel. Deelneemers het elk 210 mg PSO, NAS of placebo-aanvulling geneem vir nege agtereenvolgende dae. Die studie het bestaan uit ‘n 6-dag uitwasperiode (protokoldae: -12 tot -7), as ook ‘n 6-dag aanvullings periode (protokoldae: -6 tot -1), gevolg deur ‘n pliometriese oefeningsintervensie (protokol dag 0) en verdere aanvulling tot en met 2 dae na die oefening (protokol dae: 1 tot 2). Die oefeningsintervensie het 15 stelle van 10 naastenby maksimale, vertikale pliometriese hurkspronge behels. Bloedmonsters en vertraagde aanvang spierseerheid (VAS) tellings is op protokoldae: -6, 0, 1 en 2 geneem. Analiese het serum kreatien kinase (KK) aktiwiteit, suurstof radikaal absorpsie kapasiteit (SRAK), Malondialdahied (MDA) en oplospare vaskulêresel adhesie molekule-1 (oVAM-1) konsentrasie bepalings asook ‘n differentiële sirkulerende leukosiet seltelling ingesluit. KK aktiewiteit het geen merkwaardige verskil tussen groepe getoon nie. PSO aanvulling het wel gelei tot die voorkoming van ‘n merkwaardige piek in die KK response soos in die placebo en NAC behandelde groepe bevind is by die 24 h tydspunt in vergelyking met basislyn-, voor- en na-oefeningslesings (p<0.05). NAS het ‘n merkwaardige verbetering in serum SRAK getoon, maar eers teen 48 h na oefening. Slegs die NAS behandelde groep het op hierdie tydspunt ‘n betekenisvolle verbetering in SRAK getoon in vergelyking met lesings direk na oefening (p<0.05). Vir alle groepe is ‘n betekenisvolle toename in absolute neutrophiltellings waargeneem 6 h na oefening in vergelyking met basislyn- en vooroefeningslesings (p<0.05). Beide NAS en placebo-behandelde groepe het ‘n betekenisvolle afname in neutrophiltellings teen 24 h na oefening getoon in vergelyking met die 6 h tydspunt (p<0.05) maar met die PSO-behandelde groep word hierde afname eers teen 48 h waargeneem (p<0.05). Monosiettellings het in alle groepe 6 h na oefening ‘n betekinsvolle piek getoon (p<0.05). Waar slegs die hoofeffek van die pliometriese oefening betekenisvol was, het nie een van die twee antioksidant aanvullings ‘n merkwaardige verandering aan die respons van ander leukosiet sub-populasies, MDA of oVAM-1 konsentrasies getoon nie. Al kon statistiese beduidenheid nie bewys word nie, wil dit blyk dat ‘n verminderde oVAM-1 uitdrukking onstaan het in die geval van beide antioksidant-behandelde groepe. Tesame stel hierdie bevindinge voor dat PSO toediening (210mg/d) insluitende ‘n 7-dag aanvullingsperiode die vermoë verleen om die neutrophielrespons gedeeltelik te onderdruk (sonder om dit heeltemal te inhibeer) en sodoende spierskade verminder. Dus word verdere spierskade moontlik verlaag deur die voorkoming van neutrophil weefsel infiltrasie eerder as verwydering van reaktiewe spesies wat vrygestel word tydens oefening. Die bevinding dat NAS aanvulling serum SRAK eers na oefening merkwaardig verbeter, kan as voordelig beskou word, veral wanneer toegedien in samewerking met PSO om verdere spierskade te voorkom en herstelling vinniger te bewerkstellig.
