The aim of this investigation was to examine physiological demands single match play in tennis.20 players performed 10 matches 50 min. Respiratory gas exchange measures (RGEM) and heart rates (HR) were measured using two portable systems. Lactate concentration determined after each game. average oxygen uptake (VO2) 270 games 29.1 +/- 5.6 mL.kg-1.min-1 (51.1 10.9% VO2max). Average VO2 for a game ranged from 10.4 47.8 (20.4 86.8% lactate (LA) 2.07 0.9 mmol.L-1 (ranging 0.7 5.2 mmol.L-1)....
Maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) refers to the upper limit of blood concentration indicating an equilibrium between production and elimination during constant workload. The aim present study was investigate whether different levels MLSS may explain (BLC) at submaximal workload in sports events rowing, cycling, speed skating. Eleven rowers (mean +/- SD, age 20.1 1.5 yr, height 188.7 6.2 cm, weight 82.7 8.0 kg), 16 cyclists triathletes (age 23.6 3.0 181.4 5.6 72.5 6 skaters 23.3 6.6 179.5...
Overarm movements are essential skills in many different sport games; however, the adaptations to sports not well understood. The aim of study was analyze upper‐body kinematics team‐handball throw, tennis serve, and volleyball spike, calculate differences proximal‐to‐distal sequencing joint movements. Three‐dimensional kinematic data were analyzed via Vicon motion capturing system. subjects (elite players) instructed perform a jump spike with maximal ball velocity hit specific target....
The aim of this study was to determine the effects frequency verbal encouragement during maximal exercise testing. Twenty-eight participants (12 males, 16 females) aged 20.9 +/- 1.5 years (mean s) performed a test (VO2max) on treadmill without any encouragement. were matched according their pre-test VO2max and placed into either control group or one three experimental groups. They second (post-test) 1 week later. During test, received no encouragement; 20 s (20E), 60 (60E) 180 (180E) groups...
Our data demonstrate that serum lipid and lipoprotein levels continue to track from childhood into young adulthood. The persistence clustering of multiple CVD risk factors adulthood the impact obesity in this regard point need for preventive measures aimed at developing healthy lifestyles early life. Adverse LDL-C persist over time, progress adult dyslipidemias, relate hypertension as well. NCEP guidelines which classify on basis level, are helpful targeting individuals

Purpose This study investigated changes induced by a single heavy resistance training session on endocrine systems in trained athletes, using the same exercises for testing. Methods Five different groups volunteered: track field male sprinters (MS, N = 6), female (FS, body builders (BB, weight lifters...
In 1992 Conconi et al. (20) presented an indirect and noninvasive method for the determination of anaerobic threshold (AnT) in incremental field test runners. This is dependent on occurrence a deflection heart rate performance curve (HRPC). The aim our study was to evaluate degree direction HRPC relationship (HRT) lactate turn point group 227 healthy young subjects (age: 23 +/- 4 yr). were divided into three groups by means second polynomial fitting (GI: regular deflection, kHR > 0.1; G II:...
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence upper and lower extremity movements on volleyball spike jump (SJ) how movement may differ from standing vertical jumps due its asymmetry. 3-D kinematics body segments were measured in 16 experienced players with a VICON motion capture system. heights (JH) counter-movement (CM) SJ determined utilizing force platform. A significant correlation found between JH during SPJ maximal horizontal velocity center mass (CoM) (r=0.71, p=0.002),...
There are well-known biological differences between women and men, especially in technical-coordinative variations that contribute to sex performance of complex movements like the most important offensive action volleyball, spike jump. The aim this study was investigate sex-dependent biomechanical characteristics volleyball Thirty female male sub-elite players were analysed while striking a stationary ball with maximal jump height. Twelve MX13 Vicon cameras cluster marker set, two AMTI force...
Purpose: Numerous investigations have reported changes in metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses associated with the menstrual cycle. We examined whether variables commonly used exercise testing are influenced by cycle phases. Methods: Nineteen eumenorrheic women performed two incremental tests to voluntary exhaustion on a ergometer during different phases of cycle: follicular phase (FP) luteal (LP). Our study were power output, V˙O2, HR, V˙E, RER, ventilatory equivalents oxygen...
Abstract The importance of proximal-to-distal sequencing in human performance throwing has been reported previously. However, a comprehensive comparison the sequence team-handball athletes with different training experience and competition is lacking. Therefore, aim study was to compare ball velocity standing throw run-up players skill (less experienced, elite). Twenty-four male (n = 8 for each group) performed five throws maximal accuracy. Kinematics trajectories were recorded Vicon motion...
Background: Dual-task (DT) training is a well-accepted modality for fall prevention in older adults. DT should include task-managing strategies such as task switching or prioritization to improve gait performance under conditions. Methods: We conducted randomized controlled trial evaluate balance and managing (BDT group) compared single (ST) strength resistance control group, which received no training. A total of 78 individuals (72.0 ± 4.9 years) participated this study. The group performed...
