A proper heat-acclimatization plan in secondary school athletic programs is essential to minimize the risk of exertional heat illness during preseason practice period. Gradually increasing athletes' exposure duration and intensity physical activity environment minimizes heat-illness while improving performance. Progressive acclimatization especially important initial 3 5 days summer practices. When an athlete undergoes a program, physiologic function, exercise tolerance, performance are all...
We examined the effects of active dehydration by exercise in a hot, humid environment on anaerobic muscular power using test-retest (euhydrated and dehydrated) design. Seven subjects (age, 27.1 ± 4.6 years; mass, 86.4 9.5 kg) performed upper lower body Wingate tests prior to after 1.5-hour recovery from heat stress trial treadmill (33.1 3.1oC = 55.1 8.9% relative humidity) until 3.1 0.3% mass loss was achieved. Dehydration confirmed significant (P < 0.001), urine color increase 0.004),...
Student-athletes may require cognitive rest and academic support after concussion. Athletic trainers (ATs) in secondary schools are uniquely positioned to provide medical care collaborate with school professionals while managing concussions. However, little is known regarding return-to-learn policies their implementation schools.Context: To examine ATs' perspectives on return learn, rest, communication concussion.Objective: Cross-sectional study.Design: Web-based survey.Setting: A total of...
Abstract Context: Athletic trainers must have sound evidence for the best practices in treating and preventing heat-related emergencies potentially catastrophic events. Objective: To examine effectiveness of a superficial cooling vest on core body temperature (Tc) skin (Tsk) hypohydrated hyperthermic male participants. Design: A randomized control design with 2 experimental groups. Setting: Participants exercised by completing heat-stress trial hot, humid environment (ambient = 33.1 ± 3.1°C,...
Context: The effectiveness of education in modifying hydration behaviors adolescent athletes is unclear. Objective: To assess the status and female before after a 1-time educational intervention prescribed warm, humid, tropical environment. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Non–air-conditioned gymnasium environment (indoor wet bulb globe temperature = 24.0 ± 0.2°C). Patient or Other Participants: Thirty-six elite volleyball players (age 14.8 0.8 years, height 168.2 8.2 cm, mass 60.8 9.0 kg,...
This study investigated the accuracy of age-predicted equations to predict heart rate maximum (HRmax) in a college-age sample and establish efficacy short-duration anaerobic capacity tests determine actual HRmax. A criterion HRmax (CHRmax) was obtained from 96 (52 men 44 women, age = 22.0 ± 2.8 years, height 163.9 9.5 cm, 70.6 14.7 kg, resting HR 68.9 11.2 b·min) healthy volunteers during 2 200-m sprint trials on standard track. Maximal effort confirmed via plasma lactate ≥7 mmol·L(-1)...
Objective: We present a case of severe dehydration, muscle cramping, and rhabdomyolysis in high school football player followed by suggested program for gradual return to play. Background: A 16-year-old male (body mass = 69.1 kg, height 175.3 cm) reported the ATC after morning session on second day two-a-days complaining cramping. Differential Diagnosis: The initial assessment included dehydration exercise-induced cramps. differential diagnosis was exertional rhabdomyolysis, or myositis. CK...

J Strength Cond Res 25(12): 3506-3513, 2011-The purpose of this brief review is to present case healthy, male (age = 16 years, body mass 67.9 kg, height 165.5 cm) who participated 3-day wrestling camp which resulted hospitalization for exertional rhabdomyolysis. As part the conditioning program directed by coaches, completed 60...

We sought evaluate the effectiveness of superficial on thermoregulatory, hot used randomized, counterbalanced, repeated measures investigation with 2 conditions...
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects superficial cooling on thermoregulatory responses while exercising in a hot humid environment wearing an American football uniform. Nine male and female subjects wore garment (CS) experimental condition or no (NCS) control during exercise task consisting warm-up (WU), (EX), recovery (R). simulated conditioning session with full uniform performing anaerobic aerobic exercises environment. Subjects were allowed drink water ad libitum rest...
The demands of the athletic training profession are unique, but concerns women members National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) similar to those in other male-dominated occupations. Although NATA membership is roughly equal terms gender (46% women), men predominantly found supervisory positions (59%), compared with 37% leadership roles. 1 Subordinate groups often excluded from power or leadership. In corporate America, 95–97% senior managers men, 2 and academic medicine, bias more...
The RAS-MAPK pathway controls many cellular programs, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In colorectal cancers, recurrent mutations in this often lead to increased signaling that may contribute the development of neoplasms, thereby making attractive for therapeutic intervention. To end, we developed a 26-member gene signature activity utilizing Affymetrix QuantiGene Plex 2.0 reagent system performed both primary confirmatory expression-based high-throughput screens...
