To investigate the effects of a period resistive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) upon rowing performance.Performance was appraised in 14 female competitive rowers at commencement and after 11 wk on ergometer by using 6-min all-out effort 5000-m trial. IMT consisted 30 efforts twice daily. Each required subject to inspire against resistance equivalent 50% peak mouth pressure (PImax) an device. Seven rowers, who formed placebo group, used same device but performed 60 breaths once daily with...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect a multi-directional soccer-specific fatigue protocol on sprinting kinematics in relation hamstring injury risk. Nine semi-professional soccer players (Mean±SD: Age: 21.3±2.9 year; Height 185.0±8.7 cm; Body Mass 81.6±6.7 kg) completed SAFT90; multi-directional, intermittent 90 min exercise representative match-play. 10m sprint times and three-dimensional kinematic data were recorded using high-speed motion capture system (Qualisys Track...
BENTLEY, D. J., L. R. MCNAUGHTON, THOMPSON, V. E. VLECK, and A. M. BATTERHAM. Peak power output, the lactate threshold, time trial performance in cyclists. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 12, 2001, pp. 2077–2081. Purpose To determine relationship between maximum workload (Wpeak), at onset of blood accumulation (WOBLA), threshold (WLTlog) Dmax average output obtained during a 90-min (W90-min) 20-min (W20-min) (TT) group well-trained Methods Nine male cyclists (V̇2max 62.7 ± 0.8...
In this study, criteria are used to identify whether a subject has elicited maximal oxygen uptake. We evaluated the validity of traditional uptake and propose novel set criteria. Twenty athletes completed test, consisting an incremental phase subsequent supramaximal exhaustion (verification phase). Traditional were evaluated. Novel were: plateau defined as difference between modelled actual >50% regression slope individual uptake–workrate relationship; in first criterion, but for...
Abstract Nine healthy male subjects who were all participating in athletic events volunteered to take part this study, the aim of which was determine whether there are specific dosages sodium bicarbonate (HCO3 ‐) that useful as an ergogenic aid far anaerobic performance times concerned. A control, placebo (CaCO3 500 mg kg‐1) and five (100, 200, 300, 400 used. The test consisted pedalling a Repco Exertech cycle ergometer for 1 min during total work (kJ) peak power (W) measured. completed more...
Different coaching methods are often used to improve performance. This study compared the effectiveness of 2 methodologies for speed and agility conditioning random, intermittent, dynamic activity sports (e.g., soccer, tennis, hockey, basketball, rugby, netball) necessity specialized equipment. Two groups were delivered either a programmed method (PC) or random (RC) with third group receiving no (NC). PC participants speed, agility, quickness (SAQ) method, RC played supervised small-sided...
The aim of this study was to determine the external validity Taekwondo-specific exercise protocols. 10 male international Taekwondo competitors (age 18±2 years) took part in a championship combat and an protocol that simulated activity pattern combat. Heart rate venous blood samples were obtained both settings. Despite similarity profiles, combats elicited higher (p<0.05) heart (188±8 beats.min<sup> − 1</sup>), plasma lactate (12.2±4.6 mmol.L<sup> glucose (10.3±1.1 mmol<u>.</u>L<sup>...
While in vitro work has revealed that dehydration and hyperthermia can elicit increased cellular oxidative stress, vivo research linking dehydration, hyperthermia, stress is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects exercise-induced with without on stress. Seven healthy male, trained cyclists (power output (W) at lactate threshold (LT): 199 ± 19 W) completed 90 min cycling exercise 95% LT followed by a 5-km time trial (TT) 4 trials: (i) euhydration warm environment...

J Strength Cond Res 30 (12): 3520-3524, 2016-Studies have established that supplementation nitrate increases which in turn The current study aimed to investigate the effects ingestion on performance bench press until failure. Twelve recreationally active (age, 21 ± 2 years, height, 177.2 4.0 cm, weight, 82.49 9.78 kg)...
