“…Moreover, exercise training is beneficial not only for decrease of body weight and body fat, which normalize metabolic diseases associated with obesity, but also for increase of muscle mass, mineral levels, and lean body mass, contributing to improved health 4) . Thus, endurance exercise can be beneficial for a number of factors.…”

“…Long-term endurance exercise increases muscle mass by muscle fiber hypertrophy, increases the volume of oxidative enzymes in muscle cells and strengthens connective tissue, and decreases the accumulation of body fat by increasing fat combustion and increasing total blood volume 4,5) . Increased body fat causes an increase in the production of leptin in the blood.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an eight-week exercise program on body composition, blood lipids, and hormone levels of 16 obese adult males. [Subjects and Methods] After an experimental group (n=8) and a control group (n=8) were organized, subject were examined: then, the experimental group performed endurance exercises for 8 weeks. At the end of the eight weeks, the two groups were examined again for weight, % body fat, and body fat mass via a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). A blood sample was collected the day before the exercise program. Right after the exercise program, 5 ml of blood was collected and then centrifuged for 10 min at 3000 rpm. The centrifuged samples were stored at -73°C and sent to Green Cross for analysis; TC, TG, leptin, and insulin were analyzed.[Results] The experimental group showed a statistically significant decrease in % body fat and body fat mass as well as significant reductions in TC and TG and leptin concentrations. There was also a decrease in the exercise group's insulin concentration but is was not significant. [Conclusion] Eight weeks of exercise therapy increased energy consumption resulting in favorable changes in the body composition, blood lipid metabolism, and hormone levels in obese adult males.

“…Exercise heart rate can and was used as a measure of cardiovascular exercise intensity. [28][29][30] Blood lactate was measured using the Lactate Plus Blood Lactate monitor (Nova Biomedical, Waltham, MA) and test strips. Universal safety precautions were used when taking finger-prick blood samples.…”

“…As a result, blood lactate measurements are an important indicator of exercise intensity. [28][29][30] Rating of perceived exertion was measured by having participants describe their exertion level in relation to a Borg RPE scale taped adjacent to the treadmill display panel. The Borg scale is a commonly used scale to measure subjective interpretation of exercise intensity.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if thoracolumbar chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT) had an immediate impact on exercise performance by measuring blood lactate concentration, exercise heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion during a treadmill-based graded exercise test (GXT). Methods: Ten healthy, asymptomatic male and 10 female college students (age = 27.5 ± 3.7 years, height = 1.68 ± 0.09 m, body mass = 71.3 ± 11.6 kg: mean ± SD) were equally randomized into an AB:BA crossover study design. Ten participants were in the AB group, and 10 were in the BA group. The study involved 1 week of rest in between each of the 2 conditions: A (prone Diversified T12-L1 CMT) vs B (no CMT). Participants engaged in a treadmill GXT 5 minutes after each week's condition (A or B). Outcome measures were blood lactate concentration, exercise heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion monitored at the conclusion of each 3-minute stage of the GXT. The exercise test continued until the participant achieved greater than 8 mmol/L blood lactate, which correlates with maximal to near-maximal exercise effort. A dependent-samples t test was used to make comparisons between A and B conditions related to exercise performance. Results: No statistically significant difference was shown among any exercise response dependent variables in this study. Conclusions:The results of this research preliminarily suggest that CMT to T12-L1 does not immediately impact exercise performance during a treadmill-based GXT using healthy college students.
