Numerous studies have established the usefulness of pedometers and accelerometers as objective activity monitors. Under laboratory conditions, some these devices been shown to provide accurate reliable measures steps. However, limited data exist on performance under free-living conditions.This study aimed 1) compare effects speed body mass index (BMI) step count accuracy five different accelerometer-based monitors a pedometer during treadmill walking, 2) in environment, 3) counts three...
High-intensity functional training (HIFT) is a new modality that merges high-intensity exercise with (multijoint) movements. Even though others exist, CrossFit has emerged as the most common form of HIFT. Recently, several reports have linked to severe injuries and/or life-threatening conditions, such rhabdomyolysis. Empirical evidence regarding safety this currently limited.To examine incidence related participation and estimate rate in large cross-sectional convenience sample participants...

The 2018 CrossFit Open (CFO) was the initial stage of an annual competition that consisted five weekly workouts. Current evidence suggests a variety fitness parameters are important for progressing beyond this stage, but little is known about which most important. To examine relationships between CFO performance, experience, and physiological fitness, sixteen experienced (>2 years) athletes (30.7 ± 6.9 years, 171 12 cm, 78.0 16.2 kg) volunteered to provide information their training...
Abstract This study examined the effects of a nine-week intervention four different high-intensity training modalities [high-intensity functional (HIFT), interval (HIIT), power (HIPT), and endurance (HIET)] on resting concentration brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF). In addition, we evaluated BDNF responses to Graded Exercise Test (GXT) Wingate Anaerobic (WAnT) in men. Thirty-five healthy individuals with body mass index 25.55 ± 2.35 kg/m 2 voluntarily participated this were randomly...
This study examined the dose-response effects of a 1-year hybrid-type, multicomponent interval training programme (DoIT) on various musculoskeletal fitness parameters in inactive overweight and obese adults gym setting. Ninety-seven middle-aged (44.8 ± 5.2 years) individuals with overweight/obesity (31.2 5.7 kg/m2) (66% female) were randomly assigned to following groups: (i) no-intervention control (CON, n = 29), (ii) DoIT performed once weekly (DoIT-1, 24), (iii) twice (DoIT-2, 23) (iv)...
