▼ This study examined the effects of exercise and diet-induced weight loss on markers of inflammation in obese females. Forty-nine obese women (age 48.2±10.5 years, height 63.5±2.7cm; weight 203.3±30.5 kg; BMI 35.6±5.6 kg/
m^(2); 45.9±4.4 % body fat) completed a 12-week study (exercise group (EX): n=29; control group (C): n=20). Participants followed an energy-restricted diet (1,200 kcal/d for 1-week and 1,500 kcal/d for 11 weeks; 30% CHO, 45% P, and 25% F) while participating in a 30-min circuit resistance-training (3 days/wk) and 30 min walking program on non-workout days. DEXA body composition, fitness, and serum/white blood cells samples were obtained at 0, 4, 8 and 12 wks. The expression of microRNA (21 and 146a) and the expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, (PTEN, TRAF6)/PI3k/AKT/NF-kB were measured by real-time RT-PCR at 0 and 12 wks. Data were analyzed by MANOVA and presented as changes from baseline after 12 wks for the EX and C groups. Overall MANOVA analysis revealed a significant time effect (p=0.004) and group x time effect (p=0.004) for body composition measures. Participants in the EX group experienced significant changes in body weight (EX -4.0±4.4 kg; C 0.1±3.0 kg, p=0.001), fat mass (EX -3.8±4.0 kg; C -0.03±2.0 kg, p<0.001), and percent body fat (EX -2.7±3.4%; C -0.1±1.7%, p=0.002). Overall MANOVA analysis revealed a significant time effect (p<0.001) and group x time effect (p=0.003) for measures of fitness. Overall significant MANOVA interaction was observed among EX and C groups (Wilks’ Lambda p<0.001) on markers of inflammation. Significant interactions were observed among groups in microRNA 21 (EX -1.5±2.34; C 0.13±2.2, p=0.03), mRNA expression levels of PTEN (EX -4.5±3.2; C -1.6±3.4, p=0.005), IL-6 (EX -2.8±3.6; C 2.8±2.2, p=0.00); and, TNF-α (EX -0.52±2.5; C 2.3±1.9, p=0.00). Changes in microRNA (21 and 146a) were positively and significantly correlated to body weight, total weight, fat mass, and body fat percent, with circulatory levels of IL-6 and TNF-α. Results indicate that 12-wks of participation in an exercise and weight loss program significantly affects microRNA 21 and its target gene PTEN, mRNA TNF-α, and mRNA IL-6 levels suggesting an anti-inflammatory response compared to a control group.

▼ This study compared the efficacy of the Curves® Complete 90-day Challenge (CC), Weight Watchers® Points Plus (WW), Jenny Craig® At Home (JC), and Nutrisystem® Advance Select™ (NS) on weight loss, body composition and/or markers of health and fitness in sedentary overweight women. One hundred thirty-three women (47±11 yr, 86±14 kg, 46±5%, 35.4±6 kg/m2) were randomized into CC (n=29), WW (n=29), JC (n=27), NS (n=28), or control (n=20) for 12-wks. Self-recorded food logs (4-d), International Physical Activity Questionnaires, weight, resting energy expenditure (REE), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, anthropometrics, and fasting blood samples were obtained at 0, 4, 8, & 12 wks. Peak aerobic capacity and muscular strength were measured at 0 and 12 wks. Data were analyzed by ANOVA or MANOVA with repeated measures.
Average energy intake was 1,403±427 kcal/day with no differences among groups. CC was the only group with an increase in protein (0.15±0.30, p=0.039) combined with a reduction in carbohydrate (-0.63±0.95 g/kg/day, p=0.005) intake. CC was the only group with a significant increase in total physical activity (3,801±8,668 MET-min/wk, p=0.012) through week 8. All diet groups experienced a decrease in weight (-4.0±4.2 kg, p<0.001), body mass index (-4.0±2.1 kg/m2, p<0.001), waist circumference (-2.7±5.9, p<0.001), and hip circumference (-3.4±4.4 cm, p<0.001), and all maintained REE (0.09±2.0 kcal/kg/day, p=0.008). CC had the greatest decrease in fat mass (-3.8±4.0 kg, p<0.001) and body fat % (-2.7±3.4%, p<0.001) and was the only group that maintained fat-free mass (-0.19±2.00 kg, p=0.631). All groups, except WW, had a decrease in resting heart (-3.0±9.8 bpm, p<0.001). CC was the only group with a decrease in systolic (-7.6±14.2, p=0.002) and diastolic blood pressure (-3.6±7.3 mmHg, p=0.045). CC had the greatest increase in peak aerobic capacity (2.5±2.9 ml/kg/min, p<0.001) and was the only diet group that increased in lower (15.0±21.9 p=0.001) and upper body (8.7±12.5% p=0.001) strength. CC trended toward a decrease in total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio (-4.9±11.3%, p=0.053). Though all diet groups lost weight and had improvements in anthropometrics, CC experienced greater improvements in body composition, blood pressure, peak aerobic capacity, and muscular strength and trended toward improvements in blood lipid ratios.

▼ The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acute (Study 1) and chronic (Study 2) ingestion of a pre-workout supplement with (PWS+S) and without p-synephrine (PWS) on safety, metabolism, body composition and performance. In Study 1, 25 healthy, recreationally active participants ingested a dextrose flavored placebo (PLA); PWS containing 2 g arginine alphaketoglutarate, 3 g β-alanine, 270 mg caffeine, 2 g creatine nitrate, 15 mg L-Dopa, 300 mg N-acetyl L-tyrosine; or, the PWS with 20 mg p-synephrine, interspersed with a 7-d washout, in a randomized, crossover, counter-balanced manner. Participants were tested at time 0 (unsupplemented), and then 30-min and 90-min post ingestion. Data were analyzed by repeated measure MANOVA and reported as mean ± SD or mean change and 95% CI. Both treatment groups reported a greater sense of vigor and energy prior to exercise; PWS+S and PWS scored significantly higher on a Stroop Test. We observed significant differences in RER [PLA (0.89 ± 0.09) vs. PWS (0.92 ± 0.06, p < 0.02) and PWS+S (0.85 ± 0.04, p = 0.006) and PWS vs. PWS+S (p < 0.001)]. In Study 2, 80 resistance trained male were randomized and ingested supplements; PLA, PWS, or PWS+S for 8-wk with resistance training. Testing occurred at baseline, wk 4, and wk 8. Data were analyzed by repeated measure MANOVA and reported as mean ± SD or mean change and 95% CI. We found significant increases in 1RM-Bench Press at wk 4 for PWS and PWS+S, but not for PLA (5.45 kg, 95% CI, -0.82, 11.73). By wk 8 each group demonstrated significant 1RM-BP for PWS, PWS+S and PLA. A similar pattern was noted for 1RM-Leg Press at wk 4 for PWS and PWS+S, but not the PLA (36.50, 95% CI, -0.21, 73.2). By wk 8, all groups increased 1RM-LP. Our data suggest that a PWS appears safe for acute ingestion and is efficacious regarding indices of cognitive function and exercise performance. We also found that ingesting a PWS during training appears safe, and the inclusion of p-synephrine is unnecessary to achieve the observed favorable effects to training adaptation.

▼ Creatine and nitrates are popular dietary supplements, but little is known regarding their co-ingestion relative to performance, side effects and safety. The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of a creatine nitrate dietary supplement. In a double-blind, crossover, randomized and placebo-controlled manner; 28 apparently healthy and recreationally active men and women ingested daily supplements for 7 days consisting of a dextrose flavored placebo; a low dose of creatine nitrate and a high dose of creatine nitrate. Participants repeated the experiment with the alternate supplements with a 7 day washout period between each. Blood pressure, heart rate, blood samples, body weight, body composition, side effects questionnaires, bench press, leg press, and cycle ergometry performance were measured during each supplement period. No differences among treatments were found for any of the hemodynamic responses. No blood measurements exceeded normal clinical limits among treatments. No significant differences were observed in body composition or reported side effects among treatments. Pairwise comparisons found a significant difference between CNH and PLA, but not CNL at day 5 pre supplementation (PLA: 0.3 [-0.8, 1.5], CNL: 0.9 [-0.3, 2.1], CNH: 2.7 [1.6, 3.9], p=0.01) and a significant decrease in PLA and CNL, but not CNH, at day 5 post supplementation (PLA: -4.2 [-5.7, -2.7], CNL: -4.2 [-5.7, -2.7], CNH: -1.8 [-3.3, -0.3], p=0.01) in bench press 1RM and in leg press 1RM (PLA: -13.9 [-23.1, -4.7], CNL: -13.2 [-22.3, -4.0], CNH: -6.0 [-15.2, 3.1], p=0.01). No other changes were noticed in any of the performance variables. Creatine nitrate supplementation appears to be safe and enhance performance at the doses and for the duration studied.

▼ The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether following a higher protein (HP) diet for 10-weeks promotes a reduction of MetS and the individual NCEP ATP III MetS risk factors better than a higher carbohydrate (HC) diet, when combined with an exercise program. 633 women (age 46.2±11.4 yrs, height 163±7 cm, weight 92.7±18 kg, BMI 34.8±6 kg/
m^(2)) were assigned either a HP or HC diet in conjunction with 30 minutes of circuit-style exercise 3x/wk for 10-weeks. Participants consumed 1,425±355 kcal/day while the HP group (N=371) consumed 1.14±0.5, 1.41±0.7, and 0.63±0.3 g/kg/d CHO, PRO, fat and the HC group (N=292) consumed 0.78±0.3, 2.20±0.7, and 0.60±0.2 g/kg/d. Participants were retrospectively categorized as apparently healthy (N=377) or metabolic syndrome (≥3 MetS risk factors, N=286). Body composition, anthropometrics, resting energy expenditure, lipid profiles, markers of glucose homeostasis, and fitness parameters were assessed at 0 and 10 weeks. Data were analyzed using ANOVA or MANOVA for repeated measures. The HP group experienced a greater decrease in scanned mass (HP -3.9±3.5, HC -3.0±3.5 kg, p=0.002), fat mass (HP-3.1±2.7, HC -2.4±2.8 kg, p=0.003), weight (HP -4.3±3.6, HC -3.2±3.4 kg, p<0.001), and body mass index (HP -1.6±1.3, HC -1.2±1.3 kg/
m^(2), p<0.001), and tended to experience a greater decrease in waist circumference (HP -4.0±5.7, HC -3.2±5.7 cm, p=0.07). Individuals with MetS experienced greater decreases in weight (AH -3.6±3.4, MS -4.2±3.6 kg, p=0.054), body mass index (AH -1.3±1.3, MS -1.6±1.3 kg/m2, p=0.046), systolic blood pressure (AH -0.5±13.3, MS -5.9±16.0 mmHg, p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (AH -0.4±8.9, MS -4.1±10.5 mmHg, p<0.001), triglycerides (AH -0.00±0.47, -0.23±0.73 mmol/L, p<0.001), and glucose (AH +0.01±0.73, MS -0.24±1.19 mmol/L, p=0.001) and a trend towards a greater decrease in scanned mass (AH -3.3±3.5, MS -3.8±3.5 kg, p=0.07) and lean mass (AH -0.56±2.0, MS -0.89±2.0 kg, p=0.07). Results indicate that participants following the HP diet experienced more favorable changes in body composition and triglyceride levels, and that participants with MetS have greater room for improving markers of health on a diet and exercise protocol.

▼ The mental health of soldiers is a growing concern as rates of depression and suicide have increased in soldiers with recently more deaths attributed to suicide than deaths due to combat in Afghanistan in 2012. Previous research has demonstrated the potential for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin D, physical activity, and physical fitness to improve and arachidonic acid (AA) to threaten depression/quality of life scores. This study examined whether blood fatty acid levels, vitamin D status and/or physical activity are associated with physical fitness scores, measures of mood, and measures of resiliency in active duty soldiers. 100 active duty males at Fort Hood, TX underwent a battery of psychometric tests, anthropometric, fitness tests, and donated fasting blood samples. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. Categorical analysis revealed significant difference in levels of fatty acids and vitamin D, anthropometric, physical performance, and psychometric measures. Based on these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that lack of physical activity and fitness, high levels of AA and low levels of EPA, DHA, and vitamin D could increase the risk of depressed mood and that use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying soldiers at higher risk for possible intervention. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet interventions as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in soldiers.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of following either the Curves® Fitness and Weight Management Plan or the Weight Watchers® Momentum™ Plan on body composition and markers of health and fitness in previously sedentary obese women. Fifty-one women (age 35±8 yrs; height 163±7 cm; weight 90±1 kg; BMI 34±5 kg/m2; 47±7% body fat) were randomized to participate in the Curves® (C) or Weight Watchers® (W) weight loss programs for 16-wks. Participants in the C group (n=24) followed a 1,200 kcal/d diet for 1-wk; 1,500 kcal/d diet for 3 wks (~30%:45% CHO:PRO); and 2,000 kcals/d for 2-wks (45:30) and repeated this diet while participating in a supervised Curves® with Zumba program 3-d-wk. Remaining subjects (n=27) followed the W point-based diet program, received weekly group counseling, and were encouraged to exercise. Body composition, anthropometrics, resting energy expenditure (REE), lipid biomarkers, and hormone concentrations were assessed at 0, 4, 10, and 16 weeks. Maximal cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and upper and lower body isotonic strength and endurance were assessed at 0 and 16 weeks. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance for repeated measures.
MANOVA analysis of body composition data revealed overall time (Wilks’ Lamda p=0.001) and time by diet effects (Wilks’ Lamda p=0.003). Subjects in both groups lost a similar amount of total mass (C -2.4±2.0, -4.1±3.4, -5.1±3.9; W -2.3±2.3, -4.5±3.0, -5.5±4.6 kg, p=0.78). However, subjects in the C group tended to have a greater reduction in percent body fat (C -3.3±5.2, -3.2±4.6, -4.7±5.4; W 0.6±6.7, -0.6±8.3, -1.4±8.1%, p=0.10) and body fat mass (C -3.9±5.5, -4.6±5.3, -6.4±5.9; W -0.4±5.7, -2.1±6.7, -2.9±7.8 kg, p=0.09), while maintaining FFM (C 1.5±4.3, 0.52±3.7, 1.3±4.0; W -1.8±5.4, -2.4±5.8, -2.5±5.1, p=0.01). While both groups had increases cardiovascular fitness, the C group experienced improvements in upper body muscular endurance (C 1.4±3.9; W -1.2±2.4 repetitions, p=0.006). Both groups experienced improvements in lipid biomarkers; however, only the C group experienced a moderate increase in HDL-c. Results indicate that participants following the C program experienced more favorable changes in body composition and markers of fitness and health than participants in the W program.

▼ Creatine monohydrate (CrM) and nitrate are popular supplements for improving exercise performance; yet they have not been investigated in combination. We performed two studies to determine the safety and exercise performance-characteristics of creatine nitrate (CrN) supplementation.
In Study 1, 13 participants ingested 1.5 g CrN (CrN-L), 3 g CrN (CrN-H), 5 g CrM or a placebo (PL) in a crossover study to determine supplement safety. Hepatorenal and muscle enzymes, heart rate, blood pressure and side effects were measured before supplementation, 30 minutes after ingestion, and then hourly for 5 hours post-supplementation. In Study 2, 48 participants received the same CrN treatments vs. 3 g CrM in a double-blind, 28-day trial inclusive of a 7-day interim testing period and loading sequence (4 servings/d). Day-0 and day-28 measured bench press performance, Wingate testing and a 6x6-s bicycle ergometer sprints. Data were analyzed using a general linear model and results are reported as mean ± standard deviation or mean change ± 95% confidence interval (CI).
Both studies yielded several significant, yet stochastic changes in blood markers that were not indicative of potential harm or consistent for any treatment group. Equally, all treatment groups reported a similar number of minimal side effects. In Study 2, there was a significant increase in plasma nitrates for both CrN groups by day-7, subsequently abating by day-28. Muscle creatine increased significantly by day-7 in the CrM and CrN-H groups, but decreased by day-28 for CrN-H. By day-28, there were significant increases in bench press lifting volume (kg) for all groups (PL, 126.6, 95% CI 26.3, 226.8; CrM, 194.1, 95% CI 89.0, 299.2; CrN-L, 118.3, 95% CI 26.1, 210.5; CrN-H, 267.2, 95% CI 175.0, 359.4, kg). Only the CrN-H group was significantly greater than PL (p<0.05). Similar findings were observed for bench press peak power (PL, 59.0, 95% CI 4.5, 113.4; CrM, 68.6, 95% CI 11.4, 125.8; CrN-L, 40.9, 95% CI -9.2, 91.0; CrN-H, 60.9, 95% CI 10.8, 111.1, Watts) and average power.
Creatine nitrate was well-tolerated, demonstrated similar performance benefits to 3 g CrM, and was void of significant hemodynamics or blood enzymes changes associated with supplement safety.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine whether genotype of some obesity-related genes (FABP2, PPARG, ADRB2, ADRB3) impacts health outcomes from participation in a 6-month weight loss program. Fifty-one overweight/obese women (41.8 ± 12.1 yrs, 35.3 ± 8.0 kg/
m2 ) were randomly assigned to diet based on genotype, true or false match. Dietary intervention included two hypocaloric (week 1: 1400 kcal/d, weeks 2-24: 1500 kcal/d), moderate protein (45% kcal from protein) diets with variations in carbohydrates and fat (LC- 20:35, MC- 30:25). Participants performed a resistance-exercise program four days/week, and 10,000 steps/day three days/week. Anthropometrics, body composition, REE, dietary data, biochemical markers, and psychosocial evaluation were collected monthly. VO2peak, muscular strength and endurance were assessed at baseline, 3- and 6-months. All measures were analyzed with repeated measures MANOVA. Significant genotype effects and trends favoring false matches were observed for body weight (F-5.6±5.0, T-5.0±5.0 kg, p=0.10), fat free mass (F-0.4±2.3, T-0.8±2.3 kg, p=0.09), android total mass (F-849.1±882.8, T-669.7±855.4 grams, p=0.05), android fat mass (F-627±583, T-459±480 grams, p=0.07), gynoid fat free mass (F+3.0±665, T-199±534 grams, p=0.09), and fasting insulin (T+1.9±5.3, F+0.2±5.1 microIU/mL, p=0.04). Significant time x genotype interactions and trends favoring false were observed for triglycerides (T-9.9±62.3, F-35.5±49.1 mg/dL, p=0.05). Genotype effect favoring true was observed for android fat free mass (T-210.5±451.7, F- 222.0±463.8 grams, p=0.04), gynoid total mass (T-878±978, F-852±1073 grams, p=0.09), and hip circumference (T-5.1±5.5, F-4.9±3.7 cm, p=0.07). Significant genotype x diet interaction and trend was observed in favor of true MC for LDL (TMC-15.8±26.7, FMC-8.6±34.2, FLC+3.7±28.1, TLC+10.1±26.3 mg/dL, p=0.02) and cholesterol (TMC- 26.0±32.1, FMC-23.5±32.0, FLC+7.0±31.8, TLC+8.5±35.8 mg/dL, p=0.06). Overall, false matches experienced greater improvements in body composition, fitness, and biochemical markers.

▼ Studies from Africa report supplementation with Dichrostachys glomerata (DG; 200–400 mg/d) has led to significant reductions in weight and fat in obese individuals, without exercise or diet intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine if adding DG to weight loss supplements with caffeine [WL+C] containing; DG (300mg), Clubmoss extract (10mg), Caffeine (150mg; XR [77% caffeine] | 250mg; anhydrous [98.5% caffeine]), Sensoril® (125mg), and Capsimax ® (50mg) or without caffeine [WL] containing; DG (300mg), Sensoril® (250mg; Ashwaganda), Bioperine (5mg), Capsimax® (50mg; 4% Capsaicinoids), Rhodiola rosea extract (60mg), L-Theanine (100mg), Clubmoss extract (5mg), and Bacopa monneri extract (50mg), would promote weight loss in overweight persons, without exercise or dietary modification. In a double-blind, parallel, stratified random, placebo-controlled trial, participants (N=68 [
M: 31, W: 37], 37±5 yr, 88.9±16.6 kg, BMI: 25-34.9 kg/m2 , Fat: 35.2±7.7%, Activity: 6,857±1,512 steps/wk) ingested a DG containing weight loss supplement for 12 weeks.
Measurements were obtained for body weight, body composition, anthropometry, blood chemistries, resting energy expenditure, and hunger and satiety at baseline and after 4, 8, and 12-weeks. Supplementation was shown, using GLM, to have no significant differences between groups for measures of body composition using the current dose. Supplement groups decreased in FM (WL: -0.56±0.95 [-1.02, -0.14]; WL: -0.63±1.47 [-1.23, -0.02] kg) at wk4 and wk8, respectively, and body fat (WL: -0.63±1.26 [-1.16, -0.10]; WL: -0.78±1.31 [-1.45, 0.07] %) at wk8 and wk12, respectively, with indications of having greater effect on males. As well, REE improved (WL+C: 111±220 [10, 207] kcal/d; WL+C: 1.57±2.37 [0.5, 2.6] kcal/kg/d) by wk12. Supplement groups also reported less hunger and more satiety with some sleep quality improvements (diminished sleep quality for WL+C), overall. No significant effects or differences were observed in any other measure. The addition of caffeine did not incur additional benefits. Consequently, further research is required to determine an effective dose and thereafter, paired with a diet and/or exercise program for functional assessment of weight loss potential.

▼ The pharmacokinetic study examined the glucose and insulinemic responses of ingesting a novel protein bar using plant fiber (isomalto-oligosaccharides, IMO). The purpose of the study was to determine the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) during a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The study was performed in two parts. First, participants ingested a 25 g food bar (FB) or matched 25 g dextrose (PLA). Later, ten fasted individuals participated the same experiment while ingesting 2 FB’s or 50 g of PLA. OGTT results revealed the FB had a GI of 34 [CI 23, 46] and a GL of 8.5 [CI 5.6, 11.6]. Interestingly, the FB elicited a lower glycemic response with a similar insulin response compared to the PLA. In response, the Exercise Study examined whether consuming this FB or 25 g PLA prior to, during, and following intense exercise would affect exercise performance and/or recovery in twelve resistance-trained males. Participants performed 11 resistance-exercises followed by sprint conditioning drills for time. Participants donated blood samples, performed isokinetic strength tests, and rated perceptions of muscle soreness and hypoglycemia prior to, following exercise and after 48 hours of recovery. Data were analyzed by general linear model repeated measures and are reported as mean change from baseline with 95% confidence intervals. Results revealed blood glucose was significantly higher 30-min post-ingestion with PLA (PLA 3.1 [2.0, 4.3], FB 0.8 [0.2, 1.5] mmol/L, p=0.001) while post-exercise ratio of insulin to glucose was greater with FB (PLA 0.04 [0.00, 0.08], FB 0.11 [0.07, 0.15], p=0.013, η
2=0.25). Total lifting volume was maintained to a greater degree from Set 1 to Set 3 with FB than PLA (PLA -198.26 [-320.1, -76.4], FB -81.7 [-203.6, 40.1] kg, p=0.175, η
2=0.08). Perceived muscle soreness was lower with FB (PLA 1.88 [0.60, 3.17]; FB 0.29[-0.99, 1.57] cm, p=0.083, η
2=0.13). No significant differences were observed between treatments in sprint performance, isokinetic strength, markers of catabolism, stress and sex hormones, or inflammatory markers. Results indicate that ingestion of this FB can positively affect glucose homeostasis, sustain exercise performance, and lessen perceptions of muscle soreness after intense training.

▼ This study examined whether immediate (I) vs. delayed (D) protein intake following exercise influenced fractional synthesis rate (FSR) and other health/fitness markers during a Resistance Interval Program (RIPT) exercise & weight management intervention. 21 sedentary women (59.8±5 yrs, 43.7±3% body fat, 31.0±3 kg/m²) participated in a 12 week Curves Complete® program [followed an energy-reduced diet (1,500 kcal/d; 30% C, 45% P, and 25% F) while participating in circuit resistance exercise (RE) (30min; 3d/wk) and walking (10k steps, 4/d wk)]. Each ingested 15 g of protein immediately post (I) or 2 hours post (D) RE. Body composition, body mass, resting energy expenditure (REE) and FSR [determined using a deuterium oxide (²H₂O or D₂O) ingestion and muscle biopsy protocol] were examined. Data were analyzed by repeated measures MANOVA and/or ANOVA, and are presented as changes from baseline after 4, 8, and 12 wks [body composition, body mass, resting energy expenditure (REE)]; 0 and 12 weeks (FSR) for the I and D groups, respectively. Significant time effects were observed (body mass, fat mass, and body fat) yet no significant group x time effects resulted. The D group generally experienced more favorable body mass (I -2.0±1.0, -2.7±1.6, -3.6±2.2; D -2.2±2.5, -3.6±3.6, - 4.2±4.2, kg, p=0.59), fat mass (I -1.7±1.0, -2.4±1.5, -3.5±1.5; D -2.8±1.7, -3.4±2.6, - 4.8±3.3, kg, p=0.32), FFM (I -0.3±2.0, -0.1±2.0, -0.0±1.7; D 0.92±1.4, 0.4±1.7, 1.1±1.3, kg, p=0.24), and % body fat (I -1.2±2.1, -1.8±2.1, -2.8±1.9; D -2.6±1.9, -2.8±2.6, - 4.4±3.1 %, p=0.25) changes. No REE differences were seen among groups (I -18±146, - 101±163, -82±126; D -46±137, -17±173, -90±142 kcal/d, p=0.34). No significant nutrient timing x training interactions (mean±SEM) were observed in muscle FSR expressed as percent/day of the alanine pool (I-Pre 13.6±4.3, I-Post 21.1±4.3; D-Pre 15.6±4.0, D-Post 23.8±4.0 %/d, p=0.93). However, FSR was upregulated (p<0.05) in response to a pre-training bout of RE (14.6±2.9 %/d), and trended 54% higher (p=0.075) in response to post-training values (22.5±2.9 %/d). Results indicate that the program was effective in promoting weight and fat loss, while maintaining FFM. Post exercise FSR increased pre-training, and trended higher at 12-wks. However, while some trends were observed warranting additional study, no statistically significant differences were seen between the I and D nutrient timing strategies.

▼ We examined the effects of ingesting two pre-workout supplements (PWS) on cognitive function, perceived readiness, and exercise performance related parameters. Resistance-trained participants (N=19) were randomized to a double-blind, cross-over (7-day washout), placebo-controlled study supplemented with: (1) Placebo (PLA); (2) PWS (caffeine, creatine nitrate in a 2:1 ratio as a salt, β-alanine, arginine alphaketoglutarate, ascorbic acid, N-acetyl tyrosine, Mucuna pruriens), and (3) PWS150 at ~150% of the PWS dose. Participants were tested on hemodynamic responses, resting energy expenditure, cognitive function (Stroop Color-Word test), self-perceived readiness, three sets of bench and leg press at 70% of 1RM, a 30-sec anaerobic capacity test, side effect questionnaires, and donated blood samples before and/or after acute ingestion, then after 7 days of supplementation. Data were analyzed by GLM and presented as mean (SD) or mean change (95% CI). Significant improvements in Stroop Word testing were observed for PWS (6.57 counts, 95% CI 1.36, 11.8) and PWS150 (11.5 counts, 95% CI 6.26, 16.6), but not PLA (1.31 counts, 95% CI -3.89, 6.52). Significant changes in Stroop Color testing were observed for PWS150 (8.1 counts, 95% CI 4.52, 11.6) and PLA (4.47 counts, 95% CI 0.89, 8.05), but not PWS (2.31 counts, 95% CI -1.26, 5.89). Similar results were observed for Word-Color. When all domains were summed, PWS150 (27.4 counts, 95% CI, 16.1,
38.7) and PWS (12.3 counts, 95% CI, 1.0, 23.5) showed significant improvements, but not PLA (11.3 counts, 95% CI, - .002, 22.5). We observed significant improvements in Wingate mean power for PWS150 (26.0 watt, 95 CI, 1.85, 50.3), but not PWS (-3.83 watt, 95 CI, -28.7, 21.0) and PLA (8.88 watt, 95 CI, -17.5, 35.2). No significant or adverse changes were observed for hemodynamic, thermogenic, and hematologic variables. The PW150 demonstrated consistent improvements in cognitive function; yet was unmatched by changes in self-perceived readiness or other measured parameters associated with exercise performance.

▼ The effects of ingesting a ready-to-drink pre-workout supplement (RTD) on exercise performance were assessed in this dissertation. Resistance-trained participants (n=25, 24 ± 4 y) ingested in a double-blind, crossover study a: (1) Dextrose placebo (PLA, 12 g) and, (2) RTD containing caffeine (200 mg), β-alanine (2.1 g), niacin (65 mg), folic acid (325 mcg), Vitamin B12 (45 mcg), and arginine nitrate (1.3 g) for 7 d, interspersed by 7 d washout. Data were analyzed by univariate, multivariate, and repeated measures general linear models (GLM), adjusted for gender and relative caffeine intake. Data are presented as mean change (95% CI). An overall multivariate time × treatment interaction was observed on strength performance variables (p = 0.01). Acute RTD ingestion better maintained LP 1-RM (PLA: −0.285 (−0.49, −0.08); RTD: 0.23 (−0.50, 0.18) kg/kgFFM, p = 0.30); increased LP RtF (PLA: −2.60 (−6.8, 1.6); RTD: 4.00 (−0.2, 8.2) repetitions, p = 0.031); increased BP lifting volume (PLA: 0.001 (−0.13, 0.16); RTD: 0.03 (0.02, 0.04) kg/kgFFM, p = 0.007); and, increased total lifting volume (PLA: −13.12 (−36.9, 10.5); RTD: 21.06 (−2.7, 44.8) kg/kgFFM, p = 0.046). Short-term RTD ingestion maintained baseline LP 1-RM (PLA: −0.412 (−0.08, −0.07); RTD: 0.16 (−0.50, 0.18) kg/kgFFM, p = 0.30); LP RtF (PLA: 0.12 (−3.0, 3.2); RTD: 3.6 (0.5, 6.7) repetitions, p = 0.116); and, LP lifting volume (PLA: 3.64 (−8.8, 16.1); RTD: 16.25 (3.8, 28.7) kg/kgFFM, p = 0.157) to a greater degree than PLA. No significant differences were observed between treatments in cycling TT performance, hemodynamic assessment, fasting blood panels, or self-reported side effects. Within the confines of this study, the RTD examined appears to be safe and provides an ergogenic benefit for total lifting volume by enhancing muscular endurance; however, it does not appear to be ergogenic to 4 km time trial performance in non-trained cyclists.

▼ The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intra-set rest intervals (ALT) and traditional resistance (STD) training in hypertrophic resistance training. 22 males (25 +/- 5yrs, 179.71 +/- 5.0cm, 82.1 +/- 10.6kg, 13.6 +/- 4.3% fat, 6.5 +/- 4.5yrs training) were matched according to baseline characteristics and randomly assigned to a STD or ALT 12 week hypertrophic training protocol. Body composition, strength (1RM bench and squat); power (60% 1RM bench and squat); and vertical jump were assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Muscle biopsy for myosin heavy chain (MHC) was performed pre and post training. A 2 x 4 (Group x Time) ANOVA was used to assess changes in body composition. A 2 x 4 (Group x Time) ANCOVA covaried by baseline performance measures was used to assess differences in strength and power characteristics. A 2 x 2 (Group x Time) ANCOVA covaried for baseline percentage MHC was used to determine differences pre and post training. Both groups experienced increases in FFM with no differences between groups (62.6 +/- 7.9, 63.4 +/- 7.6, 64.2 +/- 7.4, 64.2 +/- 7.5kg; p>0.05). No time effects were noted in percent fat (13.6 +/- 4.3, 14.1 +/- 4.7, 14.0 +/- 4.6, 14.3 +/- 4.6%fat; p>0.05). Increase in FFM was associated with a decrease in MHCIIX, (ALT, -37.9 +/- 24.1%; STD, -23.4 +/- 23.8%; p = 0.001) and an increase in MHCIIA (ALT, 32.0 +/- 28.8%; STD, 25.4 +/- 29.1%; p = 0.001) with no difference between groups. A significant interaction was observed with the ALT group experiencing greater gains in both 1RM bench (STD 104.1 +/- 27.6, 102.7 +/- 29.0, 107.0 +/- 25.3, 113.2 +/- 27.3; ALT 110.9 +/- 20.1, 117.5 +/- 23.7, 120.8 +/- 22.6, 126 +/- 22.8; p<0.05) and 1RM squat (STD 123.3 +/- 39.3, 139.6 +/-
38.8, 160.2 +/- 36.1, 171.8 +/- 34.5; ALT 130.1 +/- 25.1, 152.6 +/- 24.8, 179.8 +/- 24.5, 193.9 +/- 24.2kg; p<0.05). The ALT group experienced greater gains in power in both the bench (STD 560 +/- 122, 541 +/- 105, 572 +/- 122, 593 +/- 135W; ALT 575 +/- 102, 586 +/- 123, 646 +/- 103, 658 +/- 113W; p<0.05) and vertical jump (STD 1378 +/- 237, 1418 +/- 214, 1452 +/- 210, 1470 +/- 215W; ALT 1389 +/- 179, 1434 +/- 152, 1470 +/- 149, 1537 +/- 150W;p<0.05), with gains in squat power approaching significance (STD 625 +/- 245, 704 +/- 233, 723 +/- 227, 830 +/- 232W; ALT 632 +/- 171, 734 +/- 179, 783 +/- 188, 914 +/- 207W; p<0.10). The use of intra-set rest intervals in programs designed to elicit hypertrophy results in greater gains in strength and power with no significant difference in lean mass or MHC composition after a 12 week resistance training program designed to elicit hypertrophy.
