Study finds endurance racing results in reduce Right ventricle ejection fraction even in elite athletes.  This post-race RVEF reduction is associated with VO2max.

Good review of recovery supplement strategy.

Article looked at the anabolic effect of low-intensity resistance exercise.  This study found a decrease in cortisol post-exercise, but no increase in anabolic effects: GH and total Testosterone.  The exercise was in untrained men, which could explain some of the decrease in the anabolic effect with the men in this study.

The early post menopause phase is critical for women. This is the phase that requires intensify strategy for exercise. The ER alpha signaling is actually increased and the ability to build muscle is intensified if exercise, particularly resistance training, is employed.

carbohydrate intake during exercise reduces post-exercise fatigue

Nice study and review of other studies that looked at post-exercise recovery strategies. This authors conclusion, and I concur, is that a mixture of carb 0.8 g/kg and protein 0.2 g/kg mixture immediately and 2 hours post is the best to restore glycogen stores and promote an anabolic state

post exercise rehydration is important for adequate recovery

certain amino acids pre and post exercise help to preserve muscle mass.  This has profound implications on fat loss and maintenance of fat loss long term

good discussion of the effects of resistance training on Testosterone and cortisol in obese men.  The literature is more more clear on the effects of resistance training on healthy men, but the evidence in obese men is less clear--likely due to the disrupted metabolism.

Only abstract available here: compound resistance treaining in highly trained young men found to increase GH and Testosterone over isolation exercises. Those that trained > 2 years had significnt increase in Testosterone pre/post exercise compared to no statistical change in those traing < 2 years.

Tynor Weight Cuff Tynor Weight cuffs are used to exercise ailing joints to build strength and aid recovery. Tynor Weight Cuff is flexible and cushion, so it does not injure. Recommended for use to improve muscle tone, muscle mass, strength and stamina. Tynor Weight Cuff Features Offers 1 kg resistance when wrapped around Weight is wrapped in comfortable and soft fabric Used to build muscles, flexibility or to lose weight Can be secured easily around to prevent injuries or accidents Cuff is safe to be used during everyday activities as well Tynor Weight Cuff Measurements Sizes Available: 1/2 Kg / 1Kg / 2 Kg

protein intake post exercise improves recovery. In this study, they had young men take in 20 gm of protein prior to bed after resistance training at 8 pm.

leucine shown to increase muscle protein synthesis post exercise

resistance training increases testosterone post exercise.  Dietary protein increased basal testosterone production.

Leucine, a branch chain amino acid, important in promoting protein synthesis and thus muscle growth.  Very important post-exercise and in athletes

decreased testosterone production/secretion in men post exercise. This was more pronounced in resistance training versus endurance training.

Tynor Chest Binder Chest Binder is applied to the thoracic region to compress and bind the rib cage and provide splinting to the sternum while allowing sufficient flexibility for comfortable breathing. Anatomic chest pad. Controlled compression. Optimum chest splinting. Soft feel. Tynor Chest Binder Features 50 mm thick PUF pad hold and binds the fractured sternum without compromising on patient comfort. Strong elastic band gives good grip and helps in equidistribution of pressure. Reduces post operative pain and discomfiture. Facilitates phlegm expulsion after cardio thoracic surgery. Tynor Chest Binder Measurements Measure circumference around the chest.

Whey protein hydrolysate shown to be superior to amino acids in recovery phase of exercise.  

makes sense.  Alcohol impairs recovery from exercise--specifically protein synthesis.

In this study, in addition to Estradiol, IL-6 was followed via salivary testing. This study found that post-exercise IL-6 elevation reduced energy availability from fat stores.
