Purpose: Effects of strength training (ST) and nutritional counseling (NC) on metabolic health indicators were examined in 50 aging women. Methods: Subjects performed ST for 21 weeks. NC was given to obtain sufficient energy and protein intake, and recommended intake of fat and fiber. Results: NC increased intake of protein and polyunsaturated fat by 4.5% and 10.7% and decreased intake of saturated fat by 18.3%. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), total and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio and triacylglycerols (TAG) decreased, and serum HDL-C increased in all subjects after ST. Respectively, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and serum insulin concentration decreased in all subjects. NC contributed to the decreases in levels of serum LDL-C after the first half of ST and serum TC and HDL-C ratio during both ST periods. Changes in serum TAG concentrations correlated positively with intake of carbohydrates, and negatively with monounsaturated fat in all subjects. Respectively, changes in serum TC levels were related to protein intake, and changes in serum HDL-C to intake of fat, and inversely to carbohydrate and protein in all subjects. Relationships between serum TC and HDL-C levels and protein intake were only observable in the ST+NC group. Conclusions: The long-term ST had favorable effects on serum lipids, lipoproteins, insulin concentration, and blood pressure. However, NC further contributed to positive changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins. Key words: exercise, diet, elderly, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes

Abstract Objectives Greater protein intakes have been associated with decreased weight, BMI, waist circumference (WC) and increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations. However, the relationship between protein intake during specific eating occasions and metabolic health is not well described. This study measured protein intake at meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snacks and evaluated associations between protein intake at meals or snacks and markers of metabolic health in US adults. Methods Using the National Cancer Institute method, deciles of individual usual intake (IUI) for protein at meals and combined snacking occasions were calculated using NHANES 2013–2016 data (n = 10,112; ≥19 y). Relationships between protein intake at meals and snacks and markers of metabolic health were determined using regression analysis. Covariates included age, age2, sex, ethnicity, physical activity level, poverty income ratio, IUI of carbohydrate at specific meal/snack, IUI of total fat at specific meal/snack, BMI (non-weight-related variables), and IUI of protein at other meals/snacks. P < 0.01 was considered significant. Results Deciles of protein intake ranged (10th and 90th percentiles, mean ± SE) from 5.9 ± 0.1 to 22.6 ± 0.3 g/d at breakfast, 14.0 ± 0.1 to 34.6 ± 0.4 g/d at lunch, 24.3 ± 0.3 to 46.8 ± 0.2 g/d at dinner, and 4.9 ± 0.1 to 16.5 ± 0.2 g/d at snacking occasions. Greater protein intake at breakfast was positively related to HDL-C (0.51 ± 0.17 mg/dL per decile, P = 0.004). Protein intake at dinner was positively associated with the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (0.23 ± 0.08 per decile, P = 0.008). Protein intake from snacks was inversely associated with diastolic blood pressure (−0.27 ± 0.09 mm Hg per decile, P = 0.004) and positively associated with HDL-C (0.68 ± 0.20 mg/dL per decile, P = 0.002). Protein intakes at meals and snacks were not associated with BMI, WC, systolic blood pressure, insulin, glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, or CVD risk. Conclusions In US adults, consuming greater protein at breakfast or with snacks and less protein at dinner may be related to improved metabolic health.

This study examined the effects of strength training and diet on serum basal hormone concentrations and muscle mass in aging women. Fifty-one women age 49 to 74 y were divided into two groups: strength training and nutritional counseling (n = 25), and strength training (n = 26). Both groups performed strength training twice a week for 21 wk. Nutritional counseling was given to attain sufficient energy and protein intake and recommended intake of fat and fiber. We found that the cross-sectional area of the quadriceps femoris increased by 9.5 ± 4.1% in the nutritional counseling group versus 6.8 ± 3.5% in the strength training only group after training (P < 0.052). Nutritional counseling evoked dietary changes such as increases in the proportion of energy from protein and the ratio of poly-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. Strength training increased testosterone and testosterone/sex hormone-binding globulin ratio after the first half of training, but these returned to baseline values at the end of the entire training period. Changes in serum basal hormone concentrations did not differ between the groups. Our results support the conclusion that nutritional counseling can contribute to the increase in the muscle cross-sectional area during prolonged strength training in aging women.

Abstract This review analyzed the studies that evaluated cardiovascular health indicators (blood pressure, waist circumference, heart rate, glucose index and lipid blood) in recreational soccer players during adolescence, and identify possible associated factors. The search was performed in the electronic databases (PubMED, SciELO, LILACS, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science). Inclusion criteria were: population composed of children and/or adolescents (10–19 years or average age up to 19 years); studies adolescents engaged in recreational soccer regularly and observational studies with cross-sectional or longitudinal design. The process of analysis of studies involved reading titles, abstracts and full texts. After these phases, seven articles were eligible. Regarding the design, all studies were cross-sectional. Of the total studies included, five presented moderate methodological quality values and two presented low methodological quality values, according to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute instrument. The most cardiovascular health indicators used in recreational soccer players during adolescence was waist circumference; three studies analyzed heart rate, two evaluated blood pressure, one analyzed insulin resistance and none of the included studies analyzed lipid profile. Factors associated were analyzed in four studies, being that sedentary time and body mass index (BMI) present association with at least one indicator of cardiovascular health.
