Mon, 30 Jan 2023 13:05:20 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230130130520.htm Dietary nitrate -- found in beetroot juice -- significantly increases muscle force during exercise //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230123083441.htm A new study has found that consuming dietary nitrate -- the active molecule in beetroot juice -- significantly increased muscle force while exercising. While it is known that dietary nitrate enhances exercise, both boosting endurance and enhancing high-intensity exercise, researchers still have much to learn about why this effect occurs, and how our bodies convert dietary nitrate that we ingest into the nitric oxide that can be used by our cells. To help close this gap, researchers at the University of Exeter and the U.S. National Institutes of Health traced the distribution of ingested nitrate in the saliva, blood, muscle and urine of ten healthy volunteers, who were then asked to perform maximal leg exercise. The team wanted to discover where in the body the dietary nitrate was active, to give clues on the mechanisms at work.

Ultimately, the team determined that exercise promotes a molecular profile consistent with epigenetic partial programming. Tue, 17 Jan 2023 19:29:18 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230117192918.htm Resistance training in older adults at the cellular level //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230117110436.htm 衰老和相关迪seases are associated with alterations in oxidative status and low-grade inflammation, as well as a decreased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR is a functional mechanism by which cells attempt to protect themselves against ER stress. Researchers analyzed these proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of elderly subjects and used computer simulation to predict the key proteins associated with these biomolecules underlying physiological adaptations to exercise. They collected blood samples about five to six days before and after the training period and analyzed various oxidative stress biomarkers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The study takes research one step further in helping to elucidate the benefits of exercise in this population.

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 09:23:45 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221214092345.htm Exercise, mindfulness don't appear to boost cognitive function in older adults //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221213121513.htm For decades, doctors and scientists have known that exercise is important for older adults -- it can lower risk for cardiac issues, strengthen bones, improve mood and provide other benefits. Likewise, mindfulness training reduces stress, and stress can be bad for the brain, so many have thought that exercise and/or mindfulness training might improve brain function. In a large study, researchers had hypothesized that if older adults exercised regularly, practiced mindfulness or did both, there might be cognitive benefits -- but that's not what they found. Tue, 13 Dec 2022 12:15:13 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221213121513.htm New findings on how to avert excessive weight loss from COVID-19 //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221208114831.htm Losing too much weight when infected with COVID-19 has been linked to worse outcomes. Now, researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 infection fuels blood vessel formation in fat tissues, thus revving up the body's thermogenic metabolism. Blocking this process by using an existing drug curbed weight loss in mice and hamsters that were infected with the virus, according to the study.

The study found that the more physically active siblings in identical twin pairs had lower signs of metabolic disease, measured by waist size and body mass index. This also correlated with differences in their epigenomes, the molecular processes that are around DNA and independent of DNA sequence, but influence gene expression. The more active twins had epigenetic marks linked to lowered metabolic syndrome, a condition that can lead to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Since the identical twins have the same genetics, the study suggests that markers of metabolic disease are strongly influenced by how a person interacts with their environment as opposed to just their inherited genetics.

In this regard, an understanding of the leg morphology of sprinters from a biomechanical perspective could help develop more focused training regimens. Researchers compared the muscular and inertial features of the lower limbs between sprinters and non-sprinters, and found that despite having muscular legs, sprinters still have the ability to easily maneuver these limbs.

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 15:06:35 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/11/221116150635.htm Strength gain is associated with training volume in low responders //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/11/221116133840.htm High-intensity isometric training is considered to be important in achieving greater strength gain. Recent study has shown that training volume is more important for strength gain than training intensity. Against this backdrop, researchers explore the association between interpersonal variability in training volume and strength gain. Their results suggest that training volume is an important factor in strength adaptations for people with a relatively high strength-to-weight ratio.
