The effect of acute virgin coconut oil supplementation and aerobic exercise on triglyceride levels following postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in healthy males.

BACKGROUND: A substantial body of literature postulates that high levels of blood triglycerides (TG) cause oxidative stress which impairs vascular function and may instigate a pathway to cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Padilla et al., 2006). Exercise has been shown to promote the removal of TG and reduce postprandial hypertriglyceridemia (PHTG) following a high-fat meal (McClean et al., 2007). Research (Bueno et al., 2015) also suggests that virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a rich source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) which may provide a mechanism against CVD.AIM: Investigate the relationship between VCO and exercise following PHTG on TG levels.METHODS: Nine healthy subjects (age 26.0 years ± 4.66) participated in a randomised crossover design: (1) High-fat meal alone (2) high-fat meal followed 1 hour after with moderate (60% max watt) exercise (3) high-fat meal with VCO followed 1 hour after with exercise. TG was measured in venous blood at baseline, 2 and 4 hours postprandial. HDL, cholesterol and other biochemical markers were measured.RESULTS: Compared with control, TG levels significantly decreased with exercise 4 hours postprandial (P =0.044), and exercise with VCO group decreased at 2 hours (P =0.010) and 4 hours (P =0.012) postprandial, respectively. However, exercise alone did not significantly reduce TG levels 2 hours (P =0.274) postprandial. There was no significant difference in cholesterol and HDL levels between groups 2 hours and 4 hours postprandial, respectively.CONCLUSION: Results show that a single session of moderate aerobic exercise can decrease TG levels following a high-fat meal. Furthermore, VCO further enhances the effects of moderate exercise in reducing TG levels following PHTG

Building Information Modelling Incorporating Technology Based Assessment

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is currently being developed as a virtual learning tool for construction and surveying students in the Technological University Dublin. This advanced technology is also used to develop a technology based assessment practice for enhancing the learning environment of construction and surveying students. A theoretical design framework is presented in this paper, which combines advanced technology and assessment theory to create a virtual learning environment. This is based on the move from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, which attaches a higher degree of importance on what students know, understand, and can do as a result of their educational experiences. The design framework consists of three levels: the first incorporates student access for initial assessment, secondly student motivation is enhances using self-assessment techniques and finally formative assessment through information sharing is introduced using student-teacher WEB-based interaction inside the virtual learning environment
