“…However, a similar increase in muscle cross sectional area after the same strength training program was proven in males and females in a study by Wernbom (Wernbom et al, 2007). Nevertheless, the above mentioned finding is similar to a finding in a previous study by Kerksick (Kerksick et al, 2009) see Tab. 5.…”

“…Therefore, this training program itself, without a nutrition plan, was not effective to reduce FM or increase FFM. Same result have been found in previous study, where the strength and endurance fitness program without nutritional support was found to be ineffective for composition change in older men population (Kerksick et al, 2009;Zajac, Wilk, Socha, Maszczyk, & Chycki, 2014). CAHCT seemed an insufficient stimulus to evoke muscle hypertrophy and to avoid possible decrease in FFM.…”

“…CT, with regards to its modality, may stimulate strength endurance, strength, endurance and may compensate muscle imbalances and change body composition (Kerksick et al, 2009;Kraemer, Ratamess, & French, 2002). It was also proved that resistance CT may be an effective training strategy not only for the promotion of strength, but at the same time for cardiovascular adaptations and body composition changes (Alcaraz, Sanchez-Lorente, & Blazevich, 2008;Mayorga-Vega, Viciana, & Cocca, 2013;Sawczyn et al, 2014).…”

“…CAHCT was previously examined in a fourteen-week intervention, which suggested that only a combination of CAHCT and diet restriction can change body composition effectively (Kerksick et al, 2009). The aim of this study is to find out whether CAHCT applied in women for 12 weeks will change body composition and strength as an important characteristic of health-related fitness.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to find out whether 12 weeks circuit training, which combines hydraulic resistance machines with weight bearing exercises (CAHCT), will change body composition and strength in women and improve their health-related fitness. Nine women (age 36.2 ± 9.97; height 168.3 ± 7.8 cm, weight 78.7 ± 13.3 kg) underwent CAHCT 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Each subject performed a pre-test and post-test, which consisted of the measurement of body composition, maximum isometric strength for knee flexion/extension measured by an isokinetic dynamometer, maximum anaerobic power by the Wingate test and strength endurance of abdominal muscles by the partial curl up test. After 12 weeks of CAHCT no significant changes were found in body composition and in the parameters of isokinetic strength. In case of the Wingate test, peak power and relative peak power per body weight increased significantly (d=0.76 and d=0.58, respectively). Concerning the partial curl-up test, a large effect (d=0.76) indicated a significant change in the test score. The AHCT for women performed for 12 weeks positively influenced the motor component of health-related fitness in women who had not participated regularly in strength training. However, the changes in body composition were not significant.

Abstract.The understanding of mechanisms that are need for formation of high quality of life and the role of healthy life style in person's well-being are necessary for the creation of effective prevention programs. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of leisure-time physical activity on the quality of life of healthy persons. Sample consists of 514 young people (46.7 % female, age -19.8 ± 1.5 years). Participants were the students in Lviv State University of Physical Culture, Lviv National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lviv State University of Life Safety. Surveys (SF-36, IPAQ) were used for data collection. The duration of vigorous-intensity physical activity in leisure time was 0.6 ± 0.4 hour /week for female students, 1.2 ± 0.7 hour/ week for male students; the duration of moderate-intensity physical activity was 4.3 ± 1.0 and 3.1 ± 0.9 hour/ week for females and males respectively. It was shown the positive effect of leisure-time physical activity on the physical and mental component of the quality of life of young adults. Females with higher level of leisure-time physical activity had higher quality of life (p < 0.01) according Physical-Role Scale, General Health Scale, Social Activity Scale and Role-Emotional Scale. The statistically significant differences (p < 0.01; Physical Functioning Scale, Vitality Scale, and Mental Health Scale) were observed for males with minimal and maximal duration of physical activity.

Objective Obesity is associated with poorer breast cancer outcomes and losing weight postdiagnosis may improve survival. As Hispanic and black women have poorer breast cancer prognosis than non-Hispanic whites diagnosed at similar age and stage, and have higher rates of obesity, effective weight loss strategies are needed. We piloted a randomized, waitlist-controlled, crossover study to examine the effects and feasibility of the commercial Curves weight loss program among Hispanic, African American and Afro-Caribbean breast cancer survivors. Design and Methods Women with stage 0– IIIa breast cancer ≥6 months posttreatment, sedentary, and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 were randomized to the immediate arm (IA): 6 months of the Curves program followed by 6 months of observation; or the waitlist control arm (WCA): 6 months of observation followed by 6 months of the Curves program. The Curves program uses a 30-min exercise circuit and a high-vegetable/low-fat/calorie-restricted diet. Results A total of 42 women enrolled (79% Hispanic, 21% black), mean age 51 (range 32–69) and mean BMI 33.2(±5.9) kg/m2; 91% were retained at month 12. At month 6, women in the IA lost an average 3.3% (±3.5%) of body weight (range: 1.7% gain to 10.6% loss), as compared with 1.8% (±2.9%) weight loss in the WCA (P = 0.04). At month 12, on average women in the IA regained some but not all of the weight lost during the first 6 months (P = 0.02). Conclusions Minority breast cancer survivors were recruited and retained in a weight loss study. Six months of the Curves program resulted in moderate weight loss, but weight loss was not maintained postintervention. Future interventions should identify methods to increase uptake and maintenance of weight loss behaviors.
