Physical activity, hormone replacement therapy, and insulin resistant coronary artery disease risk factors in postmenopausal women

Creator:: Manns, Patricia J.
Abstract:: Low physical activity levels and high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in both men and women. However, postmenopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may have increased risk of CAD because of HRT-related increases in serum CRP. There are two manuscripts...

Specific loading protocols to promote bone mineral density in young women

Creator:: LaRiviere, Jane A.
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The aim of this dissertation...

Effects of combining of upper and lower body resistance training on lumbar loading

Creator:: Doran, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common and costly public health problem with a high occurrence in older women due to menopausal-onset bone loss. Recent findings suggest that mechanical loading created by upper body resistance training can stimulate bone growth in the lumbar spine, reducing osteoporosis-related bone loss and associated fracture...

Low energy dense diet and high-intensity exercise : impact on weight and waist circumference in abdominally obese women

Creator:: Sweat, Whitney M.
Abstract:: Aging, obesity and increased waist circumference (WC) increases risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a cluster of symptoms (elevated WC, triglycerides, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) increasing risk for chronic disease. Low-energy dense (LED) diets, emphasizing whole food eating patterns, have not been examined...

Physical activity and coronary heart disease risk in women with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Slawta, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: The aim of the first manuscript was to examine CHD risk in women with MS by assessing the frequency of physical inactivity and the frequency of anthropometric, dietary, and metabolic CHD risk factors. Although participation in physical activity is often avoided by many women with MS, some women remain physically...
