eSport is a form of electronic gaming, also known as professional or competitive video and growing at rapid pace worldwide. Over 50 US colleges have established varsity gaming teams over the past three years; some offer scholarships they do for traditional sports. There little objective research on health habits these players who are often placed under direction athletics department college campuses, there currently no management model how to treat new athletes.Anonymous surveys were sent 65...

We have observed optical phase-conjugate gain (>50) in sodium vapor, using low-intensity pump lasers (1 W/cm2), with a response time of the order 1 μs. Coherent population trapping is experimentally identified as mechanism. A theoretical model presented that supports these observations by showing coherent can write large-amplitude nonlinear-optical gratings at laser intensities well below those needed to saturate transitions.

Competitive electronic and video games, collectively termed “esports” have become an international industry. The physiological cognitive health results of esports practice competition not been adequately studied. current study examined changes after a session game play for two types First Person Shooter Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Increases in systolic blood pressure, increases speed, decreases accuracy inhibitory processes were found all gamers. For peak heart rate change, games...

Respiratory metabolic data collected using indirect calorimetry under hood. VO 2 , VCO 2, RER measured. RR, MV, HR recorded Hexoskin Smart Shirt apparatus. Testing consisted of 3 15-minute trials: no mask, respirator. RPE was assessed. Results analyzed separate repeated measures ANOVAs. RESULTS RER,...

Background: Strength training has been shown to benefit the health and function of older adults. Objective: To investigate whether one set exercises performed once a week was as effective in increasing muscle strength twice week. Methods: 18 subjects (7 women 11 men) aged 65–79 years were randomly assigned two groups. Both groups muscular fatigue; group 1 trained day/week 2 days/week on three lower upper body for 9 weeks. The data analysed using mixed model 2×2 analysis variance. Results: A...

Abstract The aim of this experiment is to understand how Parkinson's disease (PD) medication affects the autonomic responses individuals during an acute exercise stress test. Fourteen people with PD and fifteen healthy age‐matched between 50 80 years performed a modified Bruce protocol. Subjects test once off (PD‐off) then 1 week later on (PD‐on). Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), VO 2 , norepinephrine (NE) levels were taken at rest peak exercise. At HR, BP, NE values for PD‐on PD‐off...

This study examined the use of activity trackers alone or combined with weekly communication through email to improve and body composition over one academic year in medical students. randomized clinical trial conducted at New York Institute Technology from July 7, 2016 June 4, 2017 enrolled 120 The first group (Fitbit-Plus) wore received emails offering fitness challenges lifestyle modification challenges. second (Fitbit-Only) only did not receive emails. third (Control) was asked purchase...

Exercise has been recommended as a way to maintain quality of life in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Experiments examining the cardiovascular response exercise, however, have yielded controversial results. This study was designed determine if there is any difference vital signs and Rate Perceived Exertion (RPE) between group (50-80 years old) PD comparison healthy during exercise on treadmill.Twenty seven volunteers (16 11 healthy) participated this study. Subjects were divided...

Imagine a parent telling their child to come inside practice video games in hopes of getting scholarship college. This is the new and quickly evolving reality eSport. There are currently 22 colleges that recognize eSport as collegiate varsity team. Five these offered scholarships for 2015 2016 academic year. Robert Morris University was first school sanction sport 17 athletes on 70% (1). The popularity eSports growing at rapid pace. However, like many individuals health profession, you might...

Objective The effect of prolonged sitting on executive function and performance in competitive esports players are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate following a 6 min bout walking or rest during gaming players. Methods 12 men 9 women completed three separate 2-hour session days assigned randomised order consisting walk break, break continuous before after each session. Postintervention participant exit survey data were also collected. Results condition produced significantly faster mean...

In recent years, organised and competitive video gaming, esports, has gained enormous popularity in many parts of the world, contributing to growing professionalisation this sports branch. To become or remain a professional esports player, individuals practice gaming for several hours day while remaining sitting posture which may not only lead decrease training quality short term (eg, due cognitive fatigue) but also put them at higher risk negative health events long-term overuse injuries)....

Background: Blood flow restriction (BFR) applied during low intensity resistance training (LIRT) exercise produces hypertrophy and strength gains equivalent to traditional training. The effectiveness of BFR-LIRT on persons with Parkinson Disease (PD) has not been investigated.Objective: To determine the effects a recreationally active person PD in regards function, strength, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) safety. Methods: A single subject, A-B-A design was utilized. Each phase lasted 6 weeks....

<i>Background:</i> Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have decreased glutathione levels and elevated homocysteine levels. These substances are considered markers of health, an inverse relationship has been suggested through the transsulfuration pathway. This experiment tested effects exercise B vitamin supplementation on levels, if a was present between these two in those PD. Secondary aims included examining impact interventions aerobic efficiency strength....
