"Exercise training does not improve myocardial diastolic tissue ..." posted by ~Ray

(E 8.2 to 7.5% vs. C 8.0 to 8.4% p = .006) improved significantly in the exercise group compared to the controls (ANOVA). Systolic blood pressure decreased in the E group (E 144 to 138 mmHg vs. C 146 to 144 mmHg p = .04). Contrary to risk factor changes diastolic long axis relaxation did not improve significantly early diastolic velocity Ea from 8.1 to 7.9 cm/s for the E group vs. C 7.4 to 7.8 cm/s (p = .85. ANOVA). Likewise after 12 months the mitral annular systolic velocity systolic strain and strain rate as well as E/Ea were unchanged. ] which may at least partially attribute to myocardial disease. It has been shown previously that although left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction is normal myocardial diastolic tissue velocities are reduced already in the early phase of the disease indicating incipient diabetic heart muscle disease []. When the disease progresses also systolic dysfunction with wall motion abnormalities occur [ ]. More interestingly increased left ventricular filling pressure associates with higher mortality after myocardial infarction in males which underlines the importance of effective treatment of patients at risk []. However to date there is no established treatment to reverse diastolic dysfunction in T2D. It has been shown that good glucose control decreases the incidence of vascular complications [] and lipid lowering therapy reverses myocardial hypertrophy and increases tissue velocities []. We thus hypothesized that enhanced myocardial function after a physical exercise program might also be observed. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) gives accurate velocity measures from individual myocardial segments in various populations and disease states and is suited for monitoring sub-clinical changes during interventions []. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a randomized controlled long-term exercise-training program on major risk factors of T2D and as primary end-point measures on myocardial early diastolic tissue velocities in middle-aged diabetic patients without clinical macro- or micro vascular complications. The study group consisted of 48 men with T2D diagnosed less than three years earlier. Exclusion criteria were history or ECG signs of myocardial infarction conduction disturbance on ECG or history of arrhythmias symptoms or ECG signs of ischemia on maximal treadmill stress test wall motion abnormalities on resting echocardiogram significant valvular disease any lung disease history of cardiomyopathy rheumatoid arthritis or connective tissue disease insulin treatment or any chronic disease other than diabetes. Altogether 33 patients were treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs and 20 patients were treated for hypertension (ACE inhibitors 10. β blockers 2. Ca antagonist 3 and ACE inhibitor combined with a diuretic or Ca antagonist 5 patients). After a detailed physical examination the subjects were randomized as follows: 1) control group (C) standard treatment of T2D; 2) exercise group (E) standard treatment of T2D plus jogging or walking twice a week at a heart rate level corresponding to 65–75% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO ) on spiroergometry and muscle strength training twice a week at a predefined intensity. The resistance training program was progressive every session included eight exercises for large muscle groups alternating between trunk and upper and lower extremities. Resistance for each exercise station was assessed by repeated maximum (RM) tests. Three sets of 10–12 repetitions at 70–80% maximum voluntary contraction were performed. Exercises in the training program were changed every two months and a new target heart rate was set every six months based on changes in VO measured during a follow-up treadmill test. Two sessions out of four per week were supervised by a physiotherapist and heart rate and intensity controlled (Polar Smart Edge. Polar Electro Oy. Kempele. Finland) and all sessions were recorded in a diary. The minimum duration of a session was 30 minutes at the target heart rate or intensity and the intervention lasted for 12 months. The investigation conforms with the principles outlined in the declaration of Helsinki []. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Tampere University Hospital and all subjects signed an informed consent. %) was assessed by the immunoturbidimetric method (Roche Ltd. Basel. Switzerland). Training and vigorous exercise were not allowed for 24 hours before blood was drawn and 12-hour restriction was applied for tea and caffeine products. Cobas Mira Plus and Cobas Integra automatic analyzers were used for the analyses. Total cholesterol was measured from serum and lipoprotein fractions were determined using an enzymatic method (CHOD-PAP. Boehringer Mannheim. Mannheim. Germany). High density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions were determined according to Kirstein and Carlson []. Triglycerides were measured from frozen samples by enzymatic hydrolysis (GPO-PAP. Boehringer Mannheim. Mannheim. Germany). LDL cholesterol level was calculated using Friedewald's formula []. 2-D and M-mode echocardiographic techniques and projections were used in a standard fashion []. All images were stored on magneto-optic discs using a commercially available echocardiograph (VingMed System V. Horten. Norway). Measurements were performed off-line. The physician performing the measurements was unaware of the clinical and study group data. Standard left ventricular dimensions were taken from three consecutive cardiac cycles. Color-coded TDI cine loops from the apical 4- and 2-chamber views with > 100 frames per second were used for TDI measurements. Mean peak systolic (Sa cm/s) and early (Ea cm/s) and late (Aa cm/s) diastolic tissue velocities from the lateral mitral annulus were measured. Additionally peak systolic strain ( 1/s) were measured from the septum in order to assess local myocardial deformation. As a non-invasive estimate of the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure the ratio of mitral inflow early diastolic velocity to mitral annular early diastolic velocity was determined (E/Ea). An average of at least three measurements for the individual variables was used in statistical analyses. Normal TDI values for middle-aged men determined in our laboratory are: Sa 7.8 ± 2.6 cm/s (p = .14 vs. T2D) and Ea 10.4 ± 2.6 cm/s (p = .001 vs. T2D). Aa 4.8 ± 1.2 (p = .23 vs. T2D). Clinical characteristics of the intervention group and controls are presented as means and standard deviations (SD). Comparisons of clinical study variables between the study groups were performed at baseline by analysis of covariance with age as a covariate. Detection of a clinically significant effect of exercise training on tissue velocities i e an increase of at least 20% in Ea velocity and a standard deviation of the estimate of 0.7 cm/s with 80% power and at the 5% significance level would require 17 patients in both study arms at study end. In order to compare the systolic and diastolic velocities between the exercise and the control group after the intervention analysis of covariance with baseline velocities and heart rate during TDI measurements was used as a covariate and the results are presented as means standard errors and 95% confidence intervals for the differences (CI) (SPSS 12.0.1). Clinical and standard echocardiographic characteristics of the subjects are presented in Table. Significant differences between the study groups were not observed at baseline except that the LV internal diameter in diastole was higher in the controls and the posterior wall thicker in the E group. Marked changes in medication were not made during the intervention and use of sulfonylureas or metformin/insulin sensitizers was stable two subjects in the C group started insulin treatment. The left ventricular ejection fraction was similar before and after the intervention. Table summarizes the follow-up data on exercise performance blood pressure mitral inflow velocities and blood analyses. The E group met the requirements for duration and intensity of both the endurance and muscle strength training programs average adherence to controlled sessions was 1.5 times of two. VO improved in the E group (Exercise +8.0%. Control -3.3%) and so did muscle strength (Exercise +44%. Control 0%. Table ). A significant decrease in HbA occurred in the E group whereas glucose control slightly worsened in the controls. Plasma insulin was higher at entry and it decreased more during the intervention in the E group but the difference was not statistically significant. SBP decreased on average by 6 mmHg in the intervention group and by 2 mmHg in the controls the difference being significant (Table ). Plasma lipids at entry were quite similar in both groups and marginally above current recommendations for diabetic patients. During the intervention only minor changes were observed but the net differences in total and HDL cholesterol were nearly significant (Table ). Mitral inflow velocities at the beginning and at study end were not significantly different between the study groups. Tissue Doppler measurements at baseline and at follow-up are presented in Figures to. The average maximal mitral annular tissue velocities were slightly lower in the C group and unaffected by anti-hypertensive medication at baseline. During the 12 months only non-significant changes in the mitral annular early and late diastolic velocities were observed and they are within measurement variability (Figure ). Likewise systolic velocity did not improve in the E group. When myocardial deformation was evaluated from the septum changes in strain and strain rate (Figures and ) were negligible average maximal systolic strain improved slightly being -24% at study end for the E group vs. -22% for the C group. However baseline values were normal. At study entry mean E/Ea was 8.4 in the E group and 9.4 in the C group (p = 0.29 adjusted for age. ANOVA) the values being near normal. Eleven subjects in the C group and 10 in the E group had a ratio above 8 but again significant differences after the intervention were not observed for E/Ea (E 9.0 vs. C 8.5 p = 0.42). Lower myocardial tissue velocities and increased myocardial reflectivity in diabetes indicate altered myocardial structure and diastolic dysfunction is a dominant feature [,]. To our knowledge this is the first controlled study examining the effects of a long-term high intensity exercise program on myocardial long-axis relaxation in T2D. Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) without established myocardial hypertrophy have significantly lower myocardial systolic tissue velocities compared to normal subjects []. The lower early diastolic resting velocities (25% on average compared to healthy controls) in our population suggest a specific diabetic heart muscle disease predominantly diastolic dysfunction. It is characterized by several abnormalities such as replacement fibrosis as well as decreased myocardial capillary density altered sarcoplasmic reticular calcium transport accumulation of fatty acid metabolites in myocytes and changes in autonomic innervation of the heart []. The primary aim of our study was to examine whether multifactorial risk factor reduction can reverse myocardial diastolic impairment or not. Although risk factors were reduced significantly and the glucose control improved these changes did not translate into effect on measured long axis tissue velocities or deformation. In fact the observed changes are in the range of method variability. It seems that reversal of the functional changes in the human diabetic heart requires a much longer exercise intervention. Patients with T2D have higher cardiovascular morbidity compared to healthy subjects []. Diabetic heart disease may develop and be a cause for excessive morbidity and hospitalization for heart failure in long-lasting disease. The study patients represent an average T2D population; they were overweight and hypertensive with medication (45%) and their glucose control was fair-to-poor. None of the patients had a history or clinical evidence of micro vascular complications or coronary artery disease on treadmill exercise stress test. It is well known that physical exercise reduces mortality from cardiovascular causes in several populations [] e g by reducing blood pressure changing the lipid profile and also perhaps by enhancing the autonomic control of the heart []. Our patients reached a significantly better glucose balance than the controls which is comparable to the results of intensive medical treatment []. In addition their systolic blood pressure decreased and VO Sylvén et al. [] reported that objective improvement in myocardial systolic function and frequency of angina episodes can be obtained by gene therapy in inoperable CAD. Along with new collateral vessel formation myocardial perfusion improved and this resulted in 25% higher myocardial systolic tissue velocities during dobutamine stress. If ischemia is the limiting factor of function better oxygen supply to the myocardium increases systolic tissue velocities at stress. Our patients achieved higher oxygen consumption after the intervention and thus their cardiac output at peak stress was improved. However our patients had lower long-axis diastolic velocities at baseline compared to healthy subjects and no improvement occurred. Diastolic velocities are dependent on the elastic properties of the left ventricle that are greatly influenced by increased collagen deposition and other aforementioned factors [,]. The endocardial myocytes suffer earlier from sub-clinical ischemia than circular epicardial fibers which may result in lower systolic and diastolic long-axis velocities. If true reversal of abnormalities had occurred an increase in diastolic velocities of at least 20% would have been enough in our study. We have shown recently that exercise training improves baroreflex sensitivity in diabetics [] which most likely is a result of enhanced endothelial function. If so the lower resting diastolic tissue velocities in our patients are not due to poor microcirculation and endocardial ischemia solely [] but to structural changes which are more resistant to conventional therapy (or irreversible). It thus seems that "the tissue velocity gap" of about 25% to normal early diastolic tissue velocities needs a much longer or even more intensive exercise program []. According to Patel et al. myocardial hypertrophy can be reversed and myocardial function improved by simvastatin in animals []. Concomitantly with the reduction of the LV dimensions the collagen volume fraction was reduced and these resulted in significantly higher. 30% on average systolic and diastolic septal velocities in the treated rats compared to the placebo group and velocities at the end of the study were near normal. More importantly. Weidemann et al demonstrated in 16 patients with Fabry disease that giving agalsidase β for twelve months improves myocardial systolic function both strain rate (from 2.8/s to 3.7/s) and strain (from 34 % to 45%) improved significantly and myocardial mass was reduced []. In our patients significant changes in LV dimensions were not observed nor expected although long-standing physical training induces LV hypertrophy. Nevertheless improved metabolic control decreased afterload and sympathetic nerve activity due to lower blood glucose levels could have beneficial effects on myocardial diastolic function. It seems that significant changes in major risk factors by exercise do not translate into enhanced myocardial relaxation during one-year follow-up unlike the structural changes produced by agressive medical therapy [,]. Our results concur with those observed for a one-month medical therapy in T2D patients []. These findings suggest that the insignificant changes in tissue velocities and also in myocardial deformation are due to a too short training period or that the mechanisms activated by medical therapy are different and more effective. Although tissue velocities measured during stress might be a more sensitive indicator of effect our study design was analogous to the Fabry study where resting velocities were measured as well and a clear treatment effect was observed. Morbidity and costs for T2D increase rapidly worldwide []. This is mainly due to changes in dietary habits and lack of exercise which results in an enormous increase in diabetes-related complications. To date there is no known treatment to reverse diabetic heart disease. This study shows that in order to repair the end-organ damage produced by decades of sedentary western life style a much longer non-pharmacological intervention (or aggressive medical therapy) is needed to obtain improvement in myocardial diastolic function in T2D. As demonstrated recently prevention of T2D conservatively is effective and should be the first-line regimen to reduce the incidence of diabetic complications []. In subjects with established disease good glycemic and risk factor control may slow down the process of diastolic dysfunction and postpone the development of cardiac failure [ ]. However if diastolic dysfunction is already present the functional "reserve" is smaller after myocardial infarction compared to patients with normal hearts and the patient outcome is unfavorable. A limitation of the study is that although the change in systolic blood pressure was statistically significant it was still quite moderate and smaller than by medical therapy in general []. Food diaries were not used and consumption of saturated fats was not known. However dietary advice is always given to T2D patients by GPs and the lipid levels were moderate in both study groups and more importantly this was an exercise intervention. Significant weight reduction would have enhanced the blood pressure decrease which did not occur. Most obviously the muscle mass replaced body fat mass. Despite these limitations the metabolic control was improved significantly together with enhanced autonomous control of the heart. However further and much longer randomized studies are needed to clarify the effect of physical exercise on myocardial function in diabetes. AL and KG carried out study design echocardiography imaging and measurements data analyses and reporting. MR designed and supervised all exercise programs and critically revised the manuscript. AN designed and performed all blood analyses and revised the manuscipt. HH designed and performed statistical analyses together with AL and critically revised the manuscript. IV caried out study design and exercise program planning and revised the manuscript critically. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

"Muscle Building Tips" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:14:29

Here are listed some of the important muscle building tips which are required to be followed in order to build muscle and get ripped fast. Plain language makes it easier to understand and follow: * Proper change up exercises done before every workout routine will increase exercise create efficiency and ordain safeguard you any injury like pulls or strains to great extent. * Recuperation is often the most neglected part of training and it shows in poor underdevelopment. So to muscle-up be and grow. Having adequate sleep is the best way to do so. * Don't instruct the abs specifically to lose fat - In the fitness world this concept is known as sight reduction which is impossible. Fat is certainly burned while you instruct but here's the surprise: Fat is reclaimed from all over your be before it's reclaimed from any given be place. It is an importance fact that your body will destroy fat from all over the body reserves then from one inform exclusively for which exerc! ises are performed. * Running or jogging is a good apply for overall body fat loss. But if running or jogging is done on an uneven ground the resultant be fat loss shoots up to 50% to 75%. * It is impossible to turn fat into muscle. However it is possible to change your body composition while maintaining the same body weight. * You need at least two grams of protein per hit of body charge if you be to see any create of muscle obtain. For example a 150 pound individual needs at least 300 grams of protein a day but most muscle builders don't even act 50% of that. * Muscle soreness after a workout signals muscle growth. One usually feels soreness the following day on account of training. Don't go back to the gym until the sore feeling has completely vanished. Concentrate on the diet and rest instead to reap the best. * Be sure to write drink details of each of your workouts. This ordain help you in gaging your strength increase and keep you m! otivated and up. * Beware of over training. desire hours o! f weight training routine don't acquire in any way. On the contrary it will alter your previous gains also. Often the beginners alter this choose of mistake. They may see good gains at the start. But they hit a plateau soon and see no gains in muscle size or strength. All this happens because muscles need adequate rest. * When you are lifting weights you get a bring together idea on the max you can lift. Don't try to experiment on how much you can lift. This is potentially dangerous and baffle all your muscle building goals.

The deltoid in composed of three heads anterior lateral and posterior. Each should be trained in a precise manner for maximum development. The shoulder press works the entire deltoid increasing overall mass power and strength. This is the granddaddy apply for great bring up development therefore should be incorporated first.

"The Never Ending Question about Repetitions: Part II" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 19:05:44

In the last article we discussed muscle obtain and repetition range. You learned that muscle gain is a combination of heavy weight intensity proper create quality nutrition be and supplementation. Ironically the same factors are needed for fat loss. How can that be? It's all in how you apply the recipe. Many populate that write me are interested in getting "cut." What they disappoint to realize is you can't get cut until you suffer body fat not just weight in command. command weight loss is a loss of fat muscle and water that can be obtained through the many fad diets floating around. Fat loss however is the loss of body fat and the retention of bend muscle tissue. The prerequisite for getting cut is roughly 15% be fat. Anything higher you be to cerebrate on losing body fat first. The best format for fat loss is carbohydrate cycling which is outlined in Iron Dolls and The Competitive Edge. This call of dieting will allow you to have complex carbohydrates for energy but it's done in a fashion that allows you essential fat at times to act the body off guard. Getting cut requires strict dieting and eating the alter combination of foods at the right time. For the most part getting cut will demand you to act your complex carbohydrates to a minimum and include more non-starchy vegetables essential fats and of cover end protein. Too many people try to move into a cutting program without priming the be first. Proper priming ordain prevent your body from reacting. You want your body to act to your program not react. Drastic changes cause all sorts of imbalances; therefore it is imperative to alter your body for a cutting program. As you remember to build muscle you have to lift heavy intense and brief. Stimulation nutrients and rest create muscle not repetition badgering. In the same aspect the same factors are necessary for losing body fat and getting cut. Contrary to popular belief high repetitions don't destroy fat. Proper diet and added cardio if necessary destroy body fat. If you have the muscle keep it by training properly. Now if you are training for a contest and getting cut your energy and strength will displace as the show nears this is normal. Compensate for that energy and strength drop but don't purposely lighten the charge and rep-out in the hopes that you will burn additional fat. You ordain get a well-rounded workout by choosing 2 to 3 different exercises for the targeted body part. Limit your sets to 3 and keep the repetitions in the 6 to 8 be. You will sight an extra exercise set and repetitions allowed on the fat loss/cutting schedule. This is to balance for the small drop in strength and to add more variety. also known as Hydroxycitrate (HCA) is an amazing supplement. What it ordain do for you is check your appetite and inhibit carbohydrates from being stored as fat (if timed properly) and alter caloric energy into glycogen to be stored. HCA is close to a miracle pill but only if you act it like you should and eat a lo w to discuss carbohydrate fast. The beat I have go across is Now Super Citrimax which also contains Chromium Polynicotinate an ingredient that enhances insulin efficiency allowing carbohydrates to be directed to the muscle rather than fat. This product is like two fat burners in one. Be sure to acquire the brand name ChromeMate for beat quality. Another favorite of mine is a transdermal fat loss add called Cutting Gel which is absorbed via skin. I found it works best when you apply it to where you want to collect be fat and back up climb tightening before cardio or resistance training. It helps to channel stored be fat into the bloodstream so it can be used as energy during exercise. However this does not take place unless you are helping it along by exercising and adjusting calories correctly.
