Resistance training and reduction of treatment side effects in prostate cancer patients

Article Abstract:

The effect of progressive resistance training on muscle function, functional performance, balance, body composition, and muscle thickness in men receiving androgen deprivation for prostate cancer, is examined. Progressive resistance exercise is found to have beneficial effects on muscle strength, functional performance and balance in older men receiving androgen deprivation for prostate cancer and should be considered to preserve body composition and reduce treatment side effects.

Exercise-induced muscle damage, plasma cytokines, and markers of neutrophil activation

Article Abstract:

The changes in plasma cytokines stress hormones, creatine kinase activity and myoglobin concentration, neutrophil surface receptor expression, degranulation, and the capacity of neutrophils to generate oxygen species in response to in vitro stimulation after downhill running are examined. The result showed that neutrophil activation remains unchanged after downhill running in well-trained runners, despite increases in plasma markers of muscle damage.

Oxidative stress in half and full Ironman triathletes

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the dose-response relationship of erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activity and plasma oxidative stress in ultraendurance athletes training for and competing in half and full Ironman triathlons. The findings show that high-volume ultraendurance activity produces a significant decrease in resting malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration with athletes involved in full Ironman triathon training.
