Post-intense exercise sleep concerns in weightlifters: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Weightlifting is a power and dynamic strength game. Performance of weightlifters during competition depends on absolute and relative power output achieved by them. To enhance power and strength in weightlifters, training programmes have frequent high-intensity exercise sessions. On an informal interaction with the sportspersons, they often complain of problems after intense training. There was a felt need to analyse the problems they perceive after intense training.

Method

A feedback form was developed after brainstorming with coaches and sports medicine physicians of a sports institute. Thirty-six male weightlifters aged 19.78 ± 4.71 yrs (mean ± standard deviation) of an institute participated after obtaining informed consent. The feedback form was collected and analysed.

Result

After an intense exercise, participants reported complaints such as increased fatigue (n = 27), sleep problems (n = 26), restlessness (n = 18) and decreased appetite (n = 12). Of the sleep problems, 69.4% (n = 25 out of 36) noticed worsening of sleep, 50% (n = 18) noticed sleep was light after intense training, 58.3% (n = 21) felt difficulty in falling asleep, 47.2% (n = 7) complained of frequent waking up during sleep at night and 77.8% (n = 28) felt sleepy after waking up.

Conclusion

Intense training encounters certain problems such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, restlessness and decreased appetite.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to comprehensively assess the safety of rimegepant administration in real-world clinical settings.MethodsData from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) spanning the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2023 were retrospectively analyzed in this pharmacovigilance investigation. This study focuses on employing subgroup analysis to monitor rimegepant drug safety. Descriptive analysis was employed to examine clinical characteristics and concomitant medication of adverse event reports associated with rimegepant, including report season, reporter country, sex, age, weight, dose, and frequency, onset time, et al. Correlation analysis, including techniques such as violin plots, was utilized to explore relationships between clinical characteristics in greater detail. Additionally, four disproportionality analysis methods were applied to assess adverse event signals associated with rimegepant.ResultsA total of 5,416,969 adverse event reports extracted from the FAERS database, 10, 194 adverse events were identified as the "primary suspect" (PS) drug attributed to rimegepant. Rimegepant-associated adverse events involved 27 System Organ Classes (SOCs), and the significant SOC meeting all four detection criteria was "general disorders and administration site conditions" (SOC: 10018065). Additionally, new significant adverse events were discovered, including "vomiting projectile" (PT: 10047708), "eructation" (PT: 10015137), "motion sickness" (PT: 10027990), "feeling drunk" (PT: 10016330), "reaction to food additive" (PT: 10037977), etc. Descriptive analysis indicated that the majority of reporters were consumers (88.1%), with most reports involving female patients. Significant differences were observed between female and male patients across age categories, and the concomitant use of rimegepant with other medications was complex.ConclusionThis study has preliminarily identified potential new adverse events associated with rimegepant, such as those involving the gastrointestinal system, nervous system, and immune system, which warrant further research to determine their exact mechanisms and risk factors. Additionally, significant differences in rimegepant-related adverse events were observed across different age groups and sexes, and the complexity of concomitant medication use should be given special attention in clinical practice.

Project description:IntroductionSleep deprivation (SD) significantly disrupts the homeostasis of the cardiac-brain axis, yet the neuromodulation effects of deep magnetic stimulation (DMS), a non-invasive and safe method, remain poorly understood.MethodsSixty healthy adult males were recruited for a 36-h SD study, they were assigned to the DMS group or the control group according to their individual willing. All individuals underwent heart sound measurements and functional magnetic resonance imaging scans at the experiment's onset and terminal points. During the recovery sleep phase, DMS was applied twice for 30 min before sleep onset and upon awakening to the individuals in the DMS group. Two-factor analysis was used to disclose the changes in two status and intervention effect in groups, along with Spearman rank correlation analysis to assess the correlation between brain activity and heart activity, the linear regression analysis was performed to explore the effect of DMS on brain regions to regulated the heart activity. Additionally, bootstrapping analysis was employed to verify the mediation effect.ResultsThe results indicated that the DMS group cardiac cycle duration was 0.81 ± 0.04 s, CON group was 0.80 ± 0.03 s, DMS presented a prolong effect (F = 0.32, p = 0.02), and all heart frequency and intensity indexes value were lower than CON group (p < 0.01). Two-factor analysis demonstrated the significant differences in the left insula and orbitofrontal inferior gyrus, which DC_Weight (0.25) value were lower 0.50 (p < 0.01), 0.42 (p < 0.01) after DMS. Furthermore, the correlation analysis confirmed that the negative association between the left orbital inferior frontal and left insula with the heart sound index (p < 0.05), such as Δ left orbital inferior frontal were negatively correlated with Δ Systolic_intensity (rho = -0.33, p < 0.05), Δ Diastolic_intensity (rho = -0.41, p < 0.05), Δ S1_intensity (rho = -0.36, p < 0.05), and Δ S2_intensity (rho = -0.43, p < 0.05). Δ Left insula was negatively correlated with Δ Diastolic_intensity (rho = -0.36, p < 0.05), Δ S1_intensity (rho = -0.33, p < 0.05), and Δ S2_intensity (rho = -0.36, p < 0.05). Mediated effect analysis showed that DMS affected S2_intensity by intervening in brain regions.ConclusionThese findings suggest a causal effect on the cardiac-brain axis following 36 h of SD. The non-invasive intervention of DMS effectively regulates both brain and heart functions after SD, promoting homeostatic balance. The DMS can affect the cardiac-brain axis, offering a means to restore balance following extended periods of SD.

Project description:Mild exercise (ME) with an intensity below the lactate threshold (LT) is sufficient to enhance hippocampal function, while intense exercise (IE) above the LT negates such benefits. However, the question as to why ME more effectively enhances hippocampal function than does IE remains to be clarified. Here, we investigated adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) as a mechanism of ME-induced cognitive improvement, and comprehensively delineated the transcriptomic profile of the hippocampus, using a rat whole-genome microarray approach through comparison with IE. Immunohistochemical results showed that less intense exercise (ME) is better suited to improve AHN, especially in regards to the survival and maturation of newborn neurons. DNA microarray analysis revealed that ME regulated more genes than did IE (ME: 604 genes, IE: 415 genes), and only 44 genes were modified with both exercise intensities. The identified molecular components did not comprise well-known factors related to exercise-induced AHN, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), probably due to the timing of hippocampal tissue collection after the last training session and the technical feature of microarray. Rather, network analysis of the microarray data using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis algorithms revealed that the ME-influenced genes were principally related to lipid metabolism, protein synthesis and inflammatory response, which are recognized as associated with hippocampal neuroadaptations including AHN. In contrast, IE-influenced genes linked to immune response, a negative regulatory system of AHN and hippocampal function, were identified. Collectively, these results support our hypothesis that AHN could explain why ME enhances hippocampal function, and provide the ME-specific gene list that contain some potential regulators of this positive regulation. The list will become a foundation to elucidate the molecular pathway involving the ME-induced cognitive gain.

Project description:Training in mild to moderate hypoxia (14-17% O(2) in breathing air) and extended resting in moderate hypoxia (9-13% O(2)) have been shown to have effects in animals and humans on lipid and glucose metabolism, appetite loss, and, in part, on body weight. The causality for these effects is not yet known in detail, and the available data in humans from high-altitude and low-pressure chamber studies are scarce. New technical developments by German companies in the production of artificial climates with normobaric hypoxic conditions in larger rooms at reasonable energy costs allow now to perform hypoxia weight loss studies in obese humans with stable experimental conditions and protocols with a sham hypoxia control. Thirty-two obese people were recruited for a mild intense training study in normobaric hypoxia (15 vol.% O(2)) and normoxia/sham hypoxia (20.1 vol.% O(2)). Twenty of these [mean age 47.6 years, mean body mass index (BMI) 33.1, 16 m, 4 f) were willing to follow up on an 8-week, three times per week, 90-min low intense physical exercise in their individual fat burning mode, which has been determined by an exercise testing with spiro-ergometry upfront. The subjects were evenly randomized into a hypoxia and sham hypoxia group. The difference of the two groups in weight loss and changes in HBa1C values were analyzed before and after the training period. No nutritional diet was applied. Subjects in the hypoxia group in mean lost significantly more weight than in the sham hypoxia group (Delta1.14 kg vs Delta0.03 kg; p = 0.026). This resulted in a tendency to reduce the BMI more in the hypoxia group (p = 0.326). In the mean, there was no HbA1C exceeding normal values (mean 5.67 and 5.47%), and the HbA1C stayed basically unchanged after the 8-week training. Mild physical exercise three times per week for 90 min in normobaric hypoxia for 8 weeks led to significantly greater weight loss in obese persons than the exercise in sham hypoxia in this, to our knowledge, first sham hypoxia controlled study.
