Physical activity and intellectual disability
(Strength and Conditioning Journal, 2014)Individuals with intellectual disability can benefit from physical activity programs. It is important that fitness professionals understand individuals' medical conditions, intellectual and social abilities, as well as ... -
Exercise training recommendations: Working with individuals with intellectual disabilities
(Strength and Conditioning Journal, 2014)Persons with intellectual disability can benefit from a multimodal approach to physical activity by incorporating cardiorespiratory, resistance training, flexibility, and neuromotor exercises into each week's sessions. ... -
Postresistance exercise ethanol ingestion and acute testosterone bioavailability
(Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2013)Introduction: Alcohol (ethanol) and resistance exercise can independently affect circulating bioavailable testosterone concentration. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the testosterone bioavailability ... -
Mechanisms underlying the reduced performance measures from using equipment with a counterbalance weight system
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2012)Bench press throws are commonly used in the assessment of upper-body power and are often performed on a Smith machine that uses a counterbalance weight to reduce the net load on the barbell. The use of a counterbalanced ... -
The acute hormonal response to the kettlebell swing exercise
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2014)The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute hormonal response to the kettlebell swing exercise. Ten recreationally resistance trained men (age, 24 ± 4 years; height, 175 ± 6 cm; body mass, 78.7 ± 9.9 kg) ... -
The acute hormonal response to free weight and machine weight resistance exercise
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2014)Resistance exercise can acutely increase the concentrations of circulating neuroendocrine factors, but the effect of mode on this response is not established. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of resistance ... -
Acute effect of whole-body vibration warm-up on footspeed quickness
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2016-08)The warm-up routine preceding a training or athletic event can affect the performance during that event. Whole-body vibration (WBV) can increase muscle performance, and thus the inclusion of WBV to the warm-up routine might ... -
Effect of acute alcohol ingestion on resistance exercise–induced mTORC1 signaling in human muscle
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2017)The purpose of this project was to further elucidate the effects postexercise alcohol ingestion. This project had many novel aspects including using a resistance exercise (RE) only exercise design and the inclusion of ... -
Resistance training is associated with higher bone mineral density among young adult male distance runners independent of physiological factors
(Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2018)Low bone mineral density (BMD) in male distance runners is common and could be modulated by a host of biomarkers involved in the dynamic balance of bone tissue. In contrast, resistance training can increase BMD; however, ... -
Alcohol after Resistance Exercise Does not Affect Muscle Power Recovery
(Wolters-Kluwer, 2018)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of alcohol consumed after heavy eccentric resistance exercise on measures of muscle power. After familiarization and an initial eccentric exercise bout to control for ... -
Adding Resistance Training to the Standard of Care for Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment in Men With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Improves Skeletal Muscle Health Without Altering Cytokine Concentrations
(Wolters-Kluwer Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2018)Substance abuse and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can independently lead to myopathy and related inflammatory alterations; importantly, these effects seem to be additive. Resistance training (RT) can improve ... -
The Acute Testosterone, Growth Hormone, Cortisol and Interleukin-6 Response to 164-km Road Cycling in a Hot Environment
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)This study investigated the acute endocrine responses to a 164-km road cycling event in a hot environment. Thirty-four male experienced cyclists (49.1 ± 8.3 years, 86.8 ± 12.5 kg, 178.1 ± 5.1 cm) participating in a 164-km ... -
The Effect of Post-Resistance Exercise Alcohol Ingestion on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Cytokines
(Springer, 2015)Purpose To examine the effect of post-resistance exercise alcohol ingestion on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated production of IFNγ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10. Methods Recreationally resistance-trained men ... -

Chronic Binge Alcohol-Induced Dysregulation of Mitochondrial-Related Genes in Skeletal Muscle of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Rhesus Macaques at End-Stage Disease, Alcohol and Alcoholism
(Oxford University Press, 2017-01)Aims- Alcohol use disorders are more prevalent in HIV patients than the general population. Both chronic alcohol consumption and HIV infection have been linked to mitochondrial dysregulation; and this is considered an ... -
Myoblast mitochondrial respiration is decreased in chronicbinge alcohol administered simian immunodeficiencyvirus-infected antiretroviral-treated rhesus macaques
(Wiley, 2018)Work from our group demonstrated that chronic binge alcohol (CBA)-induces mitochondrial gene dysregulation at end-stage disease of simianimmunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection in antiretroviral therapy (ART) na€ıverhesus ... -
