Objective Compare the effects and costs of remotely monitored exercise-based cardiac telerehabilitation (REMOTE-CR) with centre-based programmes (CBexCR) in adults coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Participants were randomised to receive 12 weeks or rehabilitation. REMOTE-CR provided individualised exercise prescription, real-time monitoring/coaching theory-based behavioural strategies via a bespoke platform; CBexCR prescription coaching established rehabilitation clinics. Outcomes...
The aim of this study was to assess the effects cold-water immersion (cryotherapy) on indices muscle damage following a bout prolonged intermittent exercise. Twenty males (mean age 22.3 years, s = 3.3; height 1.80 m, 0.05; body mass 83.7 kg, 11.9) completed 90-min shuttle run previously shown result in marked and soreness. After exercise, participants were randomly assigned either 10 min degrees C, 0.5) or non-immersion control group. Ratings perceived soreness, changes muscular function...
There is little evidence regarding the benefits of caffeine ingestion on cognitive function and skillful actions during sporting performance, especially in sports that are multifaceted their physiological, skill, demands.To examine influence performance simulated soccer activity.Twelve male players completed two 90-min soccer-specific intermittent running trials interspersed with tests skill (LSPT). The were separated by 7 days adhered to a randomized crossover design. On each occasion...
Impairment or interruption of oxygen supply compromises brain function and plays a role in neurological neurodegenerative conditions. Creatine is naturally occurring compound involved the buffering, transport, regulation cellular energy, with potential to replenish adenosine triphosphate without oxygen. also neuroprotective vitro against anoxic/hypoxic damage. Dietary creatine supplementation has been associated improved symptoms disorders defined by impaired neural energy provision. Here we...
Preliminary research has suggested that wearable cameras may reduce under-reporting of energy intake (EI) in self-reported dietary assessment. The aim the present study was to test validity a camera-assisted 24 h recall against doubly labelled water (DLW) technique. Total expenditure (TEE) assessed over 15 d using DLW protocol among forty adults ( n 20 males, age 35 sd 17) years, BMI 27 4) kg/m 2 and females, 28 7) 22 2) ). EI three multiple-pass recalls (MP24) on days 2–4, 8–10 13–15. On...
Purpose: In many sporting and occupational settings, measuring core temperature using invasive methods is not practical. these circumstances, ingestible sensor capsules are a promising alternative. To date, no researcher has investigated the validity of intestinal (Tint) during free running or examined between-trial reproducibility this technique. Therefore, in two investigations, we reliability Tint prolonged intermittent shuttle running. Methods: investigation A, 10 male games players...
The purpose of this study was to examine the influences a carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse on self-selected running speeds during 30-min treadmill run. Ten endurance-trained men performed 2 trials, each involving 10-min warm-up at 60% VO2max followed by run an automated that allowed spontaneous selection without manual input. Participants were asked equated rating perceived exertion 15, rinsing with either 6% CHO or taste-matched placebo (PLA) solution. In addition recording and total distance...
Carbohydrate and caffeine are known to independently improve certain aspects of athletic performance. However, less is understood about physiological performance outcomes when these compounds coingested in a rehydration carbohydrate-replacement strategy. The aim this study was examine the influence adding moderate dose carbohydrate solution during prolonged soccer activity. Fifteen male players performed two 90-min intermittent shuttle-running trials. They ingested carbohydrate-electrolyte...
Purpose: High-intensity short-duration interval training (HIT) stimulates functional and metabolic adaptation in skeletal muscle, but the influence of HIT on mitochondrial function remains poorly studied humans. Mitochondrial metabolism, as well mitochondrial-associated protein expression were tested untrained participants performing over a two-week period. Methods: Eight males performed single-leg cycling protocol (12 x 1 min intervals at 120% peak power output, 90 s recovery, 4 days/week)....
Use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for quantifying athletic performance is common in many team sports. The effect running velocity on measurement validity well established, but influence rapid directional change not understood sport applications. This was systematically evaluated using multidirectional and curvilinear adaptations a validated soccer simulation protocol that maintained identical profiles. Team athletes completed 90 min trials Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle-running...
Background: Participation in traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation exercise programs (exCR) is limited by accessibility barriers. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can overcome these barriers while preserving critical attributes of exCR monitoring and coaching, but opportunities have not yet been capitalized on. Objective: We aimed to design develop an evidence- theory-based mHealth platform for remote delivery any geographical location. Methods: An iterative process was used...
What is the central question of this study? Does short-term high-intensity interval training alter composition microbiome and associated with exercise-induced improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness insulin sensitivity? main finding its importance? Although increased sensitivity cardiovascular fitness, it did not microbiome. This suggests that changes occur prolonged exercise might be response to metabolic health rather than driving training-induced adaptations.Regular reduces risk...
Ten females performed 90 min of the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) on two occasions separated by 7 days. Water [3 mL/kg body mass (BM)] was provided every 15 during exercise (FL); no fluid given in other trial (NF). Participants Soccer Passing (LSPT) before and LIST. Core temperature (T(c) ) measured throughout using ingestible sensors. Heart rate (HR), blood lactate ([La(-) ]) ratings perceived exertion (RPE) were collected at regular intervals exercise. experienced greater...
Exercise is an essential component of contemporary cardiac rehabilitation programs for the secondary prevention coronary heart disease. Despite benefits associated with regular exercise, adherence supervised exercise-based remains low. Increasingly powerful mobile technologies, such as smartphones and wireless physiological sensors, may extend capability by enabling real-time exercise monitoring those This study compares effectiveness technology-assisted, home-based, remote monitored...
Abstract Background Physical activity, sedentary time and sleep have been shown to be associated with cardio-metabolic health. However, these associations are typically studied in isolation or without accounting for the effect of all movement behaviours constrained nature data that comprise a finite whole such as 24 h day. The aim this study was examine between composition daily (including sleep, (ST), light intensity physical activity (LIPA) moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA)) health,...
The aim of this study was to validate the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT) for use with female players. Nineteen Premier Division (elite) and 16 Reserve team players (nonelite) volunteered study. LSPT requires complete passes against coloured target areas as fast accurately possible. Participants completed an initial familiarisation trial followed by two main trials, each separated at least one week. During both trials participants were given practice efforts before recording mean...
