Metabolic effects of the addition of resistive to aerobic exercise in older men

Article Abstract:

Comparisons were drawn between the metabolic changes associated with the addition of 4 months of resistive exercise to an existing aerobic exercise program (AEX+RT, n=7) and the metabolic changes associated with a maintenance aerobic exercise program (AEX, n=8) in overweight, in older men. Results indicate that the addition of restrictive exercise training to an existing aerobic exercise program may insulin sensitivity in overweight, older men, and thus prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.

Effects of an alleged myostatin-binding supplement and heavy resistance training on serum mystatin, muscle strength and mass, and body composition

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on 22 untrained males to examine 12 wk of resistance training and cystoseira canariensis supplementation on serum levels of myostatin and follistatin-like related gene (FLGR) and muscle strength and body composition. Twelve wk of heavy resistance training and 1200 mg/d of cystoseira canariensis supplementation appears ineffective at inhibiting serum myostatin and increasing muscle strength and mass or decreasing fat mass.
