Acute effects of resistance exercise on parameters of lipoprotein metabolism

Ten healthy, trained males (25.4 +/- 3.1 yr) were studied before and after 90 min of resistance exercise to determine the acute effects of high volume (HV) and low volume (LV) sessions on alterations in lipid and lipoprotein concentrations as well as the activity of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). The HV session involved the use of 8-12 repetition maximum (RM) loads performed to exhaustion with 60 s rest intervals between sets, while the LV session involved the use of 1-5RM loads with 3 min rest intervals between sets. Fasting blood samples were drawn from an antecubital vein immediately before and after exercise as well as 24, 48, and 72 h post-exercise. Following adjustment for changes in plasma volume, significant changes were only found following the HV session. These included increases in HDL-C (11%) and HDL3-C (12%) 24 h post-exercise. Modifications in HDL-C were significantly different from both the LV and control sessions. In contrast, triglycerides and LCAT were significantly depressed 24 h post-exercise following the HV session when compared with immediate post-exercise values. There were no significant changes in either total cholesterol or HDL2-C at any time. The results of this study suggest that the potential of resistance exercise to affect acute modifications in the lipoprotein profile resides in the volume of exercise performed.     

The effect of exercise intensity on serum lipoprotein responses

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of exercise intensity on lipoprotein responses. Eleven normolipidemic male volunteers (X +/- SD = 23.1 +/- 2.4) participated in the study. The subjects were assessed for VO2max and ventilatory threshold (VT), matched for VO2max and then randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A, which exercised for 12 minutes at an intensity 15% below VT (n = 5), and Group B, which exercised for 12 minutes at an intensity 15% above VT (n = 6). The lipoprotein measures HDL-C, LDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) were assessed from blood samples taken pre-exercise and immediately post-exercise as well as one, 24, and 48 hours post-exercise. A 2 X 5 split plot ANCOVA (controlling for pre-exercise values), revealed no significant differences between groups for HDL-C, TC or LDL-C. However, when means were collapsed across groups, TC levels measured immediately post-exercise were significantly higher than those taken 24 and 48 hours post-exercise (168.0, 159.1, and 159.9 mg.dl-1, respectively; p less than 0.05). A significant interaction was found for the TG measurements. For Group A, TG levels were elevated immediately post-exercise, but decreased significantly at the 1 and 24 hours post-exercise sampling, before returning to baseline levels at the 48 hour post-exercise measurement (93.2 +/- 3.1, 69.5 +/- 4.2, 66.8 +/- 6.7 and 99.5 +/- 2.1 mg.dl-1, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Acute effects of short duration maximal endurance exercise on lipid, phospholipid and lipoprotein levels

AIM: The acute effects of maximal endurance exercise (15 min) on lipid and lipoprotein levels were examined, in order to determine whether the level of response produced could be affected by maximal exercise intensity (incremental stress test). METHODS: Participants in this cross sectional study were male athletes (n=78) of national level: basketball (n=10), swimming (n=9), long distance (LD) running (n=23) and wrestling (n=35); also a group of non-athlete volunteers as controls (n=19). Athletes had trained an average of 3 h/day and 5 years. The ergometric test used for the determination of maximal oxygen uptake on a treadmill was based on a stepwise stress protocol. RESULTS: Immediately after a maximal effort all groups (controls included) showed significant increases in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL) and high-density cholesterol (HDL-C), from rest values. Low-density cholesterol (LDL-C) increased significantly in basketball, LD running and wrestling, while it did not change significantly in swimming and controls, after maximal effort. Hemoconcentration was of the order of +12.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The level of these increases might be directly related to the intensity and duration of exercise performed. Acute endurance exercise (100% VO(2max)) may induce acute modification of the above lipid parameters potentiating the systematic chronic exercise effects already present.     

The effects of acute moderate exercise on lymphocyte function and serum immunoglobulin levels

The extent and duration of changes on lymphocyte function and serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels were examined in 12 women who walked 45 min at 60% VO2 max in a laboratory setting. A 2-factor, 2 x 6 design with repeated measures on both factors was utilized. The first factor was condition (exercise and rest), and the second factor was time (six times of measurement over a 24-h period), with treatment order counterbalanced. The 45-min walk, in comparison to rest in a seated position, was not associated with significant changes in circulating numbers of interleukin-2-activated T cells (CD5 and CD25) or on spontaneous or concanavalin-A-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. A trend for decreased phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation in comparison to the rest condition, however, was seen 1.5 h following the exercise bout (p = 0.047). The patterns of change for serum IgG, IgA, and IgM were significantly different (p = 0.001, p less than 0.001, p = 0.010, respectively) between conditions. IgG rose 7.2% immediately following exercise, and then returned to baseline 1.5 h later, which contrasted significantly with changes in the rest condition. These same patterns of change occurred also with IgA and IgM, but increases immediately following exercise were not significant, although a trend was seen for IgA (p = 0.03). The 45-min walk had no effect on plasma cortisol and epinephrine levels relative to the rest condition, but was associated with a significant 89% increase in norepinephrine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Acute effects of moderate exercise on plasma lipoprotein parameters

The acute, transient effects of moderate exercise on plasma lipoprotein parameters were assessed in 12 healthy, normolipidemic male volunteers subjected to a 5.5-km run at a comfortable pace. The course was completed in 31.5 min (range 23-43 min) and elicited a significant increase in pulse rate and plasma lactate levels and a fall in diastolic blood pressure. Of the plasma lipid parameters, total phospholipid, apo B-associated phospholipid, plasma triglyceride, and free fatty acid levels increased substantially immediately after the run and, except for triglyceride, were still raised 2 h later. Lesser but also significant increases were also noted in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), HDL3-C, and HDL-phospholipid concentrations after the run. The increase in HDL-phospholipid persisted for 2 h but the others returned to basal levels. Apolipoprotein Al, lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase activity, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and the free cholesterol:cholesterol ester ratio remained essentially unaltered by exercise. The results were compatible with an increased secretion of triglyceride and phospholipid-rich VLDL, followed by the rapid clearance of the triglyceride moiety from the plasma and some redistribution of surface components to the HDL fraction.     

The effects of acute moderate exercise on serum lipids and lipoproteins in mildly obese women.

The extent and duration of serum lipid and lipoprotein changes were examined in 12 mildly obese women who walked 45 minutes at 60% VO2max in a laboratory setting. A two-factor, 2 x 6 design with repeated measures on both factors was utilized. The first factor was condition (exercise and rest) and the second factor was time (six times of measurement over a 24-hour period) with treatment counterbalanced. The patterns of change in total high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) [F(5,55) = 5.75, p less than 0.001] and HDL3-C [F(5,55) = 2.62, p = 0.034], but not HDL2-C [F(5,55) = 1.15, p = 0.346], were significantly different between conditions. Relative to baseline and the rest condition, total HDL-C tended to rise due to a significant 11.6% increase in HDL3-C immediately post-exercise, with values returning to baseline 1.5 hours post-exercise. The interaction statistic for triglycerides was significant with trends for a decrease in triglycerides at 1.5 and 23 hours post-exercise relative to baseline and the rest condition. No significant differences were seen between the exercise and rest conditions for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, or plasma volume. These data indicate that an exercise intensity achievable by brisk walking (7.4 kph) is sufficient to evoke significant but short-term changes in serum HDL3-C concentrations in women.     

Order effects of high-intensity intermittent and strength exercise on lipoprotein profile

Purpose

To compare the effects of the order of concurrent exercise (endurance plus strength or strength plus endurance) on lipoprotein profiles in men.

Methods

After the evaluation of maximum strength (one repetition maximum—1RM) in the half-squat and of aerobic fitness (maximal velocity in treadmill incremental test), 11 physically active male subjects underwent two randomized sessions composed of four sets of half-squat strength exercises until exhaustion (at 80 % of 1RM) and a 5-km run high-intensity intermittent exercise (1:1 min at V _max), performed in different orders: (1) strength plus run (S-A) and inverse order, and run plus strength (A-S). Blood samples were collected before and immediately after the first exercise (Post-1) and after the second exercise (Post-2) in the intra-session sequence. Serum was analyzed for total cholesterol (TC) and its ratio, HDL-c and LDL-c, and triacylglycerol (TAG).

Results

There were effects of condition for TC, LDL-c, and TC/HDL, with greater values in the AS than SA (p < 0.001 for all). For the delta analysis, there was an interaction effect for TAG, with greater delta-1 S-A than delta-1 A-S (p = 0.035), and higher delta-1 S-A than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.001); for LDL-c, with higher delta-1 S-A values than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.010); and for TC, with higher delta-1 S-A values than delta-2 S-A (p = 0.038).

Conclusion

We conclude that there are no differences between the order of acute high-intensity intermittent run plus strength exercises regarding modulation of the lipoprotein profile in healthy, physically active men.

     

The effects of acute moderate exercise on leukocyte and lymphocyte subpopulations

The extent and duration of changes in circulating leukocyte and lymphocyte subpopulations, cortisol, and catecholamines were examined in 12 women who walked 45 min at 60% VO2max in a laboratory setting. A two-factor, 2 x 6 design with repeated measures on both factors was utilized. The first factor was condition (exercise and rest), and the second factor was time (six points of measurement over a 24-h period), with treatment order counterbalanced. The 45-min walk, in comparison with rest in a seated position, was associated with a significant but moderate leukocytosis and lymphocytosis immediately following the walk. The leukocytosis was still evident after 3 h of recovery and was primarily due to a neutrophilia. The change in lymphocyte count, relative to baseline levels and the control condition, lasted less than 1.5 h, with an increase in the natural killer (CD16 and/or CD56) and cytotoxic T cell component (CD3 and CD16 and/or CD56) (NKCT) representing approximately two-thirds of the lymphocytosis and T cells (CD5) the other third. A significant decrease in the CD4:CD8 ratio was seen, with cytotoxic/suppressor (CD8) cells increasing and helper/inducer (CD4) cells demonstrating little change in comparison with baseline. This seems to have been due to a subpopulation of CD8 (low density antigen) cells, probably natural killer cells. The 45-min walk had no effect on plasma cortisol and epinephrine levels relative to the rest condition but was associated with a moderate increase in norepinephrine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

The effects of acute exercise on neutrophils and plasma oxidative stress

PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of intensity versus total energy expenditure on neutrophilia and blood oxidative stress to acute exercise. METHODS: Nine males (18-30 yr) completed one maximal (Max) and three submaximal exercise sessions: 1) 45 min at 10% above (LT+) lactate threshold (LT), 2) 45 min at 10% below (LT-) LT, and 3) 10% below LT until caloric expenditure equaled the 10%+ trial (LT-kcal). Blood was sampled before (PRE), immediately (POST), 1 h, and 2 h after exercise to measure neutrophils, myeloperoxidase, superoxide (O(2)-), neutrophil activation (O(2)-/neutrophils), ascorbic acid, uric acid, malondialdehyde, and lipid hydroperoxides. RESULTS: Intensity-dependent neutrophilia occurred POST exercise with significant increases (P 相似文献   

The effects of acute and chronic exercise of immunoglobulins

The effects of acute exercise (both graded-maximal and submaximal) and exercise training on resting immunoglobulin levels and immunoglobulin production are reviewed. Brief graded-maximal or intensive short term submaximal exercise tends to be associated with increases in serum immunoglobulins, the pattern of which does not vary between athletes and nonathletes. Plasma volume changes appear to largely explain these acute increases. Acute moderate exercise, such as a 45-minute bout of walking, on the other hand, has been associated with a transient rise in serum immunoglobulin levels despite no change in plasma volume. This increase is probably the result of contributions from extravascular protein pools and an increased lymph flow. Total serum immunoglobulin changes following less than 40 km of running are minor and/or statistically insignificant, although the concentration of IgG is observed to be at its lowest by 1.5 hours after exercise. The greatest effect of acute submaximal exercise appears to be on serum IgM levels which tend to increase, although results are somewhat inconsistent. Various mechanisms of stimulation have been proposed to explain the exercise-induced effect on IgM, which is the first antibody class produced in an immune response. These mechanisms include nonspecific noradrenergic sympathetic neural interactions with the immune system and the possibility of antigen stimulation through greater-than-normal quantities of microorganisms entering the body through both increased ventilation rates and breakdown of natural mucosal immunity by drying of airway secretions. When athletes run 45 to 75 km at high intensities, serum immunoglobulin levels have been reported to be depressed for up to 2 days. Thus intense ultramarathon running may lead to greater and longer lasting decreases in serum immunoglobulin levels than following exercise of shorter duration. IgA and IgG, immunoglobulins commonly found in airway and alveolar space secretions, may have diffused from the serum during recovery from prolonged endurance exercise nonspecifically and/or in response to microbial agents and antigens introduced into the airways during the exercise bout. It has been well established that prolonged endurance exercise is associated with muscle cell damage and local inflammation. It has been hypothesised that natural (IgM) autoantibodies may be used to assist macrophages in disposal of muscle cell breakdown products. This could occur either by IgM binding to breakdown products present in the blood, followed by their clearance from the circulation, or it is possible that these antibodies may leave the circulation to carry out this same function in tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Effects of acute exercise on high density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein subfractions in moderately trained females

Increases in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels have previously been reported after moderate exercise bouts lasting less than two hours in men. Little information exists, however, on HDL-C responses after moderate duration exercise in women. Post-exercise HDL- C modifications may appear differently in women because of higher baseline HDL-C concentrations and differences in lipolytic activity. To determine the influence of exercise on acute HDL-C responses in women, 12 trained premenopausal women (22 (4) years old; mean (SD)) who ran 24- 48 km a week exercised on a motor driven treadmill at 75% VO2MAX until 3.34 MJ (800 kcal) were expended (72 (9) min). Subjects were all tested during the early follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Fasting blood samples were obtained before exercise (baseline), immediately after (IPE), one hour after (1 h PE), 24 hours after (24 h PE), and 48 hours after (48 h PE) exercise. Plasma was analysed for HDL-C, HDL2-C, and HDL3-C. A significant increase in HDL-C was observed 48 h PE (p<0.05). HDL3-C increased IPE (p<0.01) but returned to baseline at 1 h PE. In contrast, HDL2-C was not significantly different from baseline at any time point. The rise in HDL-C, however, was attributed to an increase in both HDL2 and HDL3. Moreover, at 48 h PE, the increase in HDL-C correlated highly with changes in HDL2-C (r = 0.92). Thus it appears that exercise of moderate duration can elicit similar post- exercise increases in HDL-C in women to those previously reported in men. However, the changes in HDL subfractions leading to the rise in HDL-C may be different in women.


     

The effects of interval–exercise duration and intensity on oxygen consumption during treadmill running

The magnitude of improvement in peak oxygen uptake ( [Formula: see text] ) and performance to an exercise training regime is related to the [Formula: see text] of prior accumulated exercise training bouts. However, it is unclear whether constant rate training (CRT) or interval training (INT) preferentially alters the [Formula: see text] of running exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the acute [Formula: see text] response to constant, and interval training sessions. Consequently, this study compared the mean average [Formula: see text] of 17 moderately trained participants to a 20-min CRT and two different 20min INT treadmill runs. Participants completed three treatments (twice) in random order over 3 weeks. In 1min INT participants completed 10x1min efforts at the velocity corresponding to [Formula: see text] (V(peak)) interspersed with 10x1min efforts at 0.5V(peak). In the 2min INT, participants completed 5x2min efforts at the V(peak) interspersed with 5x2min efforts at 0.5 at V(peak). In CRT participants ran at a velocity equivalent to the mean velocity of INT (75% V(peak)). Mean average [Formula: see text] for 2min INT, 1min INT and CRT were, respectively, 3200+/-661; 3076+/-6041; 2909+/-584mlmin(-1). Both INT sessions resulted in a significantly higher mean average [Formula: see text] than CRT. Furthermore, 2min INT resulted in 90% of [Formula: see text] being exceeded more frequently than 1min INT. We conclude that INT serves as a more potent stimulus for improvement in [Formula: see text] and subsequent endurance performance than CRT.     

Dose-response effects of ingested carbohydrate on exercise metabolism in women

PURPOSE: The effect of different quantities of carbohydrate (CHO) intake on CHO metabolism during prolonged exercise was examined in endurance-trained females. METHOD: On four occasions, eight females performed 2 h of cycling at approximately 60% .VO2max with ingestion of beverages containing low (LOW, 0.5 g.min(-1)), moderate (MOD, 1.0 g.min(-1)), or high (HIGH, 1.5 g.min(-1)) amounts of CHO, or water only (WAT). Test solutions contained trace amounts of [U-13C] glucose. Indirect calorimetry combined with measurement of expired 13CO2 and plasma 13C enrichment enabled calculation of exogenous CHO, liver-derived glucose, and muscle glycogen oxidation during the last 30 min of exercise. RESULTS: The highest rates of exogenous CHO oxidation were observed in MOD, with no further increases in HIGH (peak rates of 0.33 +/- 0.02, 0.50 +/- 0.03, and 0.48 +/- 0.05 g.min(-1) for LOW, MOD, and HIGH, respectively; P < 0.05 for LOW vs MOD and HIGH). Endogenous CHO oxidation was lowest in MOD (0.99 +/- 0.06, 0.82 +/- 0.08, 0.70 +/- 0.07, and 0.89 +/- 0.09 g.min(-1); P < 0.05 for MOD vs all other trials). Compared with WAT, CHO ingestion reduced liver glucose oxidation during exercise by approximately 30% (P < 0.05 for WAT vs all CHO). Differential rates of muscle glycogen oxidation were observed with different CHO doses (0.57 +/- 0.07, 0.53 +/- 0.08, 0.41 +/- 0.07, and 0.60 +/- 0.09 g.min(-1) for WAT, LOW, MOD, and HIGH respectively; P < 0.05 for MOD vs HIGH). CONCLUSION: In endurance-trained women, the highest rates of exogenous CHO oxidation and greatest endogenous CHO sparing was observed when CHO was ingested at moderate rates (1.0 g.min(-1), 60 g.h(-1)) during exercise.     

The impact of regular activity and exercise intensity on the acute effects of resistance exercise on cognitive function

Beneficial acute effects of resistance exercise on cognitive functions may be modified by exercise intensity or by habitual physical activity. Twenty-six participants (9 female and 17 male; 25.5 ± 3.4 years) completed four resistance exercise interventions in a randomized order on separate days (≥48 h washout). The intensities were set at 60%, 75%, and 90% of the one repetition maximum (1RM). Three interventions had matched workloads (equal resistance*n_repetitions). One intervention applied 75% of the 1RM and a 50% reduced workload (resistance*n_repetitions = 50%). Cognitive attention (Trail Making Test A—TMTA), task switching (Trail Making Test B—TMTB), and working memory (Digit Reading Spans Backward) were assessed before and immediately after exercise. Habitual activity was assessed as MET hours per week using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. TMTB time to completion was significantly shorter after exercise with an intensity of 60% 1RM and 75% 1RM and 100% workload. Friedman test indicated a significant effect of exercise intensity in favor of 60% 1RM. TMTA performance was significantly shorter after exercise with an intensity of 60% 1RM, 90% 1RM, and 75% 1RM (50% workload). Habitual activity with vigorous intensity correlated positively with the baseline TMTB and Digit Span Forward performance but not with pre- to post-intervention changes. Task switching, based on working memory, mental flexibility, and inhibition, was beneficially influenced by acute exercise with moderate intensity whereas attention performance was increased after exercise with moderate and vigorous intensity. The effect of regular activity had no impact on acute exercise effects.     

Differential effects of exercise intensity on serum uric acid concentration

To investigate the effects of exercise intensity and short-term training on alterations in plasma uric acid, two series of experiments were performed using untrained male subjects. In series 1, 6 subjects (age 19 to 23 yr) cycled at 120% VO2max for 1 min followed by 4 min recovery until fatigue or until 24 repetitions had been completed. In series 2, 7 subjects (age 19 to 25 yr) cycled continuously at 65% VO2max for 2 h. In both experiments, short-term training was performed by repeating the exercise protocol for three consecutive days. In series 1, a progressive increase of 40% (P less than 0.05) was observed on day 1 in plasma uric acid concentration over the duration of the exercise. On day 2, pre-exercise values remained elevated over day 1 (mean +/- SD, 476 +/- 77 vs 352 +/- 30 mumol.l-1) and showed a further 23% increase (P less than 0.05) with exercise. Although resting uric acid concentrations on day 3 were elevated (P less than 0.05) over day 1, the exercise levels between day 1 and day 3 were not different (P greater than 0.05). In contrast, in series 2, prolonged sub-maximal exercise failed to stimulate increases in uric acid concentration either between days or within days. It is concluded that exercise intensity rather than total work output is a critical factor mediating increases in blood uric acid concentration. These results are consistent with the interpretation that uric acid formation may arise from purine nucleotide degradation and fast-twitch fiber utilization during conditions of high energy utilization.     

Effects of exercise training on serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in women: a meta-analysis

It has been suggested that regular exercise produces favorable changes in serum lipid and lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations. However, most of the subjects in this area of research have been men. Given the differences in lipid profiles between men and women, we wanted to determine if these same favorable changes took place in women. Of the 145 longitudinal studies available in this area, 27 met the criteria for inclusion in this analysis (i.e., an exercise training study that used women subjects and measured changes in lipid concentrations). Results show that exercise does favorably alter serum lipid profiles in women by reducing total cholesterol (194 to 190 mg.dl-1; P = 0.02), triglyceride (91 to 82 mg.dl-1; P = 0.01), and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (3.28 to 3.16; mg.dl-1; P = 0.03). However, a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol or decrease in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol concentration was not observed. Results also show that changes in body weight during exercise are associated with changes in total cholesterol (r = 0.56; P = 0.01) and triglyceride (r = 0.42; P = 0.06) concentrations, indicating that greater body weight losses resulted in larger decreases in cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. Further analysis indicates that those women most at risk for heart disease (elevated pre-exercise cholesterol concentrations) responded most favorably to exercise training. These results suggest that exercise training, especially for those at risk for heart diseases is beneficial to the lipid profile of women.
