Population trends in leisure-time physical activity: Minnesota Heart Survey, 1980-2000

Article Abstract:

The Minnesota Heart Survey, a population-based surveillance study to monitor trends in cardiovascular risk factor levels among residents of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, was used to evaluate twenty-year trends in lifestyle, physical activity and leisure-time physical activity. Results showed that although energy expenditure was lower than national recommendations, greater physical activity was associated with lower body mass, indicating the need for public health strategies to facilitate participation in physical activity, especially for women, elderly, and less educated individuals.

Training in hypoxia: modulation of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in men

Article Abstract:

This study investigates the changes in metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in healthy men due to training while inspiring normobaric normoxic or normobaric hypoxic gas. Both types of training resulted in improvements in cardiovascular risk factors and endurance, but normobaric hypoxia had an additional cardioprotective effect.

Article Abstract:

Research demonstrates that a continuous 6-day strenuous isokinetic eccentric exercise with damaged muscle, following the initial 30 repetitions of eccentric contraction, does not exacerbate muscle damage and inflammatory response.
