Influence of compression hosiery on physiological responses to standing fatigue in women
Article Abstract:
This article examines the effect of graduated compression from commercial hosiery on levels of lower body discomfort and fatigue in standing women. Results indicate that compression provided by hosiery can decrease standing fatigue by minimizing muscle tissue disruption, edema, and venous pooling in the legs and ankles.

Resistance training combined with bench-step aerobics enhances women's health profile
Article Abstract:
This article examines the beneficial effects of including resistance exercise in a bench-step aerobic program for women. Findings indicate that women who completed a combination training program experienced greater improvements in heath indicators such as muscle strength, cardiovascular fitness, and endurance when compared to women who only participated in aerobics.

High affinity growth hormone binding protein and acute heavy resistance exercise
Article Abstract:
The effect of resistance training on circulating concentrations of growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in response to acute heavy resistance exercise is studied using a cross-sectional experimental design. The studies show that the resistance training does not affect the blood GHBP.
