Effects of isometric vs. dynamic resistance training on isometric and isokinetic muscular strength: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Backgrounds: Both isometric resistance training (ISO-RT) and dynamic resistance training (DYN-RT) are commonly used interventions to improve muscular strength. Unlike DYN-RT, which involves producing force through a joint range of motion, ISO-RT generates force without joint movement. However, their relative effectiveness for improving strength remains unclear, making it essential to clarify these differences to better guide exercise prescription across diverse populations and training goals.

Effectiveness of exercise on sarcopenia in HIV patients: a systematic review of current literature.

Exercise is vital in managing sarcopenia in people living with HIV (PLWH). This study explores the role of exercise in reducing sarcopenia in HIV patients. A systematic search of electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identifed relevant articles published in English up to April 2024.

Physical and functional evaluations in oncological patients elective to medium and large operations.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk of sarcopenia on the length of hospital stay and deaths in preoperative cancer patients as well its relation to physical and functional capacity.

Methods: Preoperative patients admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Mato Grosso comprised the sample. Sociodemographic data, lifestyle data, and a questionnaire for sarcopenia screening were collected.

A systematic review of sarcopenia prevalence and associated factors in people living with human immunodeficiency virus.

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) appear to be at an increased risk of sarcopenia, which can have a devastating effect on their life due to consequences such as physical disability, poor quality of life, and finally death. This systematic review examined sarcopenia prevalence and its associated factors in PLWH. A systematic search was conducted using the keywords in the online databases including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane databases from the dates of inception up to May 2022.

Combined training improves the diagnostic measures of sarcopenia and decreases the inflammation in HIV-infected individuals.

Background: HIV-related sarcopenia is an emerging health issue that often remains undiagnosed and can lead to reduced quality of life, independence, and premature death if untreated. This study investigated the effects of a 6 month combined training (resistance plus aerobic exercise) (CT) intervention on diagnostic measures of sarcopenia, including grip strength, appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), and gait speed.

Methods: Forty participants were randomized into either a CT group (n = 20; age = 38.

The effect of IGF-1 plasma concentration on COVID-19 severity.

Background: The severity and fatality of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are not the same in the infected population. The host immune response and Immune-stimulating factors appear to play a role in COVID-19 infection outcome. insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) affects the immune system by controlling the endocrine system.

Prevalence, Demographic Correlates, and Medical Correlates of Cognitive Impairment Among Iranian People Living With HIV: A Cross-sectional Survey Study.

While taking antiretroviral therapy, 30%-60% of people living with HIV (PLWH) experience neurocognitive impairment (NCI). To determine NCI prevalence among Iranian PLWH, by the computerized Vienna Test System, 63 adults living without HIV and 63 Iranian PLWH aged 18-50 years ( M = 35.3, SD = 7.

Combined Physical Training Increases Plasma Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor Levels, But Not Irisin in People Living with HIV/AIDS.

This study evaluated plasma levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), irisin, and lactate in people living with HIV/AIDS who completed a combined physical training program. Nineteen HIV participants (age: 39.60 ± 10.

Effect of a Short-term Lifestyle Modification Program on Quality of Life, Anthropometric Characteristics and CD4+T Cell Count of HIV Infected Patients in Tehran/Iran: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Context: Increasing physical activity and promoting healthy behaviors may play a key role in reducing the adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy and HIV.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of an 8-week lifestyle modification program (LMP) on quality of life, anthropometric characteristics and CD4+T cell count of people living with HIV (PLWH).

Methods: Thirty PLWH taking ART were randomly assigned to a lifestyle modification program (LMP) (n = 15) or standard care control (CON) group (n = 15).

Effects of high-protein diet containing isolated whey protein in rats submitted to resistance training of aquatic jumps.

Objectives: Isolated whey protein (IWP) can decrease body fat compared with other protein sources. The present study verified the effects of high protein diet (HD) containing IWP on several parameters of rats subjected to resistance training (RT).

Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats (60 days of age) were separated into four groups (n = 8/group): sedentary normoproteic (IWP 14%; SN); sedentary hyperproteic (IWP 35%; SH); trained normoproteic (IWP 14%; TN), and trained hyperproteic (WPI 35%; TH).

Effect of 8 Weeks of Hospital-Based Resistance Training Program on TCD4+ Cell Count and Anthropometric Characteristic of Patients With HIV in Tehran, Iran: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Ghayomzadeh, M, SeyedAlinaghi, S, Shamsi, MM, Rezaei, S, Earnest, CP, Akbarnejad, S, Taj, L, Mohraz, M, Navalta, JW, Ghasemi, P, and Voltarelli, FA. Effect of 8 weeks of hospital-based resistance raining program on TCD4+ cell count and anthropometric characteristic of patients with HIV in Tehran, Iran: A randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 33(4): 1146-1155, 2019-We examined the effects of an 8-W circuit resistance training (RES) program using elastic bands and body weight on TCD4+ cell counts and anthropometry in patients with HIV.
