Effect of resistance training on resting metabolic rate and its estimation by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry metabolic map
Fat-free mass (FFM) is the major predictor of resting metabolic rate (RMR). As protein supplementation during resistance training may augment gains in FFM, we investigated the effects of resistance training co...

Assessment of hydration biomarkers including salivary osmolality during passive and active dehydration
Hydration state can be assessed via body mass change (BMΔ), serum and urine osmolality (Sosm, Uosm), urine-specific gravity (Usg) and urine volume (Uvol). As no hydration index has been shown to be valid in all c...

Evaluation of Uosm:Posm ratio as a hydration biomarker in free-living, healthy young women
Urinary and plasma indices are utilized to assess whole-body water balance in healthy adults, whereas the urine-to-plasma osmolality ratio (Uosm:Posm) rarely is. To explore the efficacy of Uosm:Posm as a hydratio...

Effects of hydration state on plasma testosterone, cortisol and catecholamine concentrations before and during mild exercise at elevated temperature
This investigation examined the influence of pre-exercise hydration status, and water intake during low intensity exercise (5.6 km · h−1 at 5% gradient) in the heat (33° C), on plasma testosterone (TEST), cortiso...

The effects of exercise training of different intensities on neuromuscular junction morphology
Little is known about the effects of exercise training on neuromuscular junction morphology in skeletal muscle. The objectives of this investigation were: 1) to determine if exercise training would elicit chan...

Plasma vasopressin, renin activity, and aldosterone responses to maximal exercise in active college females
The effect of maximal treadmill exercise on plasma concentrations of vasopressin (AVP); renin activity (PRA); and aldosterone (ALDO) was studied in nine female college basketball players before and after a 5-m...
