ObjectivesTo assess physical activity (PA), mental health and well-being of adults in the United Kingdom (UK), Ireland, New Zealand Australia during initial stages National governments' Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) containment responses.DesignObservational, cross-sectional.MethodsAn online survey was disseminated to (n = 8,425; 44.5 ± 14.8y) residing UK, within first 2-6 weeks government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions. Main outcome measures included: Stages Change scale for exercise...
Background Validation of instruments used to measure physical activity patterns is essential when attempting assess the effectiveness interventions. Objectives To validity two self-report questionnaires on a representative sample New Zealand adults. Methods 70 adults aged 18–65 years from around Christchurch, were required wear an ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer during all waking hours for 7 consecutive days. Immediately following day period participants complete long forms both Physical...
In research clinic settings, overweight adults undertaking HIIT (high intensity interval training) improve their fitness as effectively those conventional walking programs but can do so within a shorter time spent exercising. We undertook randomized controlled feasibility (pilot) study aimed at extending into real world setting by recruiting overweight/obese, inactive group based activity program, held in community park.Participants were allocated one of three groups. The two interventions,...
With increased professionalism in sport there has been a greater interest the scientific approach to training and recovery of athletes. Applying appropriate loads along with adequate recovery, is essential gaining maximal adaptation athletes, while minimizing harm such as overreaching, overtraining, injury illness. Although physical stress essential, for many athletes may come from areas other than training. Stress arise social or environmental pressure, who combine elite athletic university...
We examined the relationship between changes in cardiorespiratory and cerebrovascular function 14 healthy volunteers with without hypoxia [arterial O(2) saturation (Sa(O(2))) approximately 80%] at rest during 60-70% maximal oxygen uptake steady-state cycling exercise. During all procedures, ventilation, end-tidal gases, heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (BP; Finometer) cardiac output (Modelflow), muscle cerebral oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy), middle artery flow velocity...
Background New Zealand children's health and fitness performance is declining over time, but whether this change because of deterioration in all or can be attributed to just a certain portion the population, unknown. Objectives In study, secular trends distributional changes health-related performance-related components among primary school children aged 10 14 years between 1991 2003 were tracked. Methods Health- parameters including height, weight, body mass index (BMI), flexibility,...
This study aimed to verify whether the "live low, train high" approach is beneficial for endurance and/or anaerobic cycling performance. Sixteen well-trained athletes completed 90 min of training (60-70% heart rate reserve), followed by two 30-s all-out sprints (Wingate test), daily, 10 consecutive days. Nine subjects [intermittent hypoxic (IHT) group] trained with an F(I)O(2) set produce arterial oxygen saturations approximately 88-82%, while seven (placebo group) breathing a normal gas...

The quantity and quality of studies in child adolescent physical activity sedentary behaviour have rapidly increased, but research directions are often pursued a reactive uncoordinated manner.To arrive at an international consensus on priorities the area behaviour.Two independent panels, each consisting 12 experts, undertook three rounds Delphi methodology. methodology required experts to anonymously answer questions put forward by researchers with feedback provided between round.The primary...
We aimed to describe the relationship between BMI and subcutaneous adipose tissue topography within young athletes non-athletic controls, comparatively evaluate diagnostic powers of thicknesses at different body sites, furthermore explore appropriate cut-offs discriminate controls. Measurements were determined in 64 males 42 females, who subsequently separated into two even groups (athletes non-athletes). The optical device LIPOMETER was applied standardised sites measure thickness layers....
This study aims to investigate the performance changes in 19 well-trained male rugby players after repeat-sprint training (six sessions of four sets 5 × s sprints with 25 and min active recovery between reps sets, respectively) either normobaric hypoxia (HYP; n = 9; FIO2 14.5%) or normoxia (NORM; 10; 20.9%). Three weeks intervention, 2 additional (FIO2 was investigated both groups gauge efficacy using "top-up" for previously hypoxic-trained subjects whether a small hypoxic dose would be...
A dearth of knowledge exists regarding how multiple health behavior changes made within an exercise prescription programme can improve parameters. This study aimed to analyse the impact changing diet and increasing on improvements among patients. In 2016, a representative sample all enroled New Zealand (Green Prescription) patients were surveyed (N = 1488, 29% male, 46% ≥ 60 yr). Seven subsamples created according their associated problems; metabolic (n 1192), physiological 627),...
This study investigates the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training in maintaining athletic performance during a taper phase basketball players. The aims to reduce external load while intensity. Seventeen experienced players were randomised into two groups: placebo group (n = 8, 22.0 ± 2.1 years, mean SD) and BFR 9, 21.1 1.5 years). schedule included strength trainings, team individual skill sessions competitive games. During 4-week period, lifting volume was reduced either...
To determine muscle oxygenation with continuous blood flow restriction (BFR) training in high load (HL), 80% one-repetition maximum (1RM) and low (LL), 30% 1RM squat exercises. In week-2 of a 4-week resistance programme as part their 3-set routine, two groups athletes (n = 4 each), one performing HL cuff pressure (20% arterial occlusion (AOP)), the other LL (60% AOP) had assessed near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS), oxygen saturation (SPO2), heart rate (HR), barbell velocity ratings...
Aim To investigate central and peripheral nervous system activity muscle oxygenation in athletes during repeated-sprint exercise normoxia normobaric hypoxia.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether 3 weeks intermittent normobaric hypoxic exposure at rest able elicit changes that would benefit multi-sport athletes. Twenty-two athletes mixed ability were exposed either a gas (intermittent training group) or placebo containing normal room air (placebo group). participants breathed the mixtures in 5-min intervals interspersed with recovery periods for total 90 min per day, 5 days week, over 3-week period. oxygen decreased from 13%...
