Measuring neutrophil functions might be a good predictive marker of overtraining in athletes.

30 Aug 2008 In order to develop a predictive marker of overtraining in athletes, we examined the changes in neutrophil function [reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capability and phagocytic activity (PA)] for 10 male and 13 female judoists attending a ... Read more...

Apolipoprotein E genotype and sex influence C-reactive protein levels regardless of exercise training status.

28 Aug 2008 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker for systemic inflammation and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Regular exercise may decrease CRP. Apolipoprotein E (apo E) has 3 common genotype variants--E2/3, 3/3, and 3/4--that modulate lipid metabolism ... Read more...

A fitness screening model for increasing fitness assessment and research experiences in undergraduate exercise science students.

28 Aug 2008 When students analyze and present original data they have collected, and hence have a cultivated sense of curiosity about the data, student learning is enhanced. It is often difficult to provide students an opportunity to practice their skills, use ... Read more...
