Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is becoming a popular tool to measure body composition in athletes, owing its ease of operation and comprehensive analysis composition. This study represents the first systematic investigation reliability DXA measurements trained individuals includes daily variability as well specific effect intake meal.Physically active young adults (15 females, 16 males) underwent five whole-body scans during 2-d period: morning after an overnight fast, ~5 min later...
Purpose: The implications of undertaking DXA scans using best practice protocols (subjects fasted and rested) or a less precise but more practical protocol in assessing chronic changes body composition following training specialized recovery technique were investigated. Methods: Twenty-one male cyclists completed an overload program, which they randomized to four sessions per week either cold water immersion therapy control groups. Whole-body undertaken with (Best) random activity (Random)...
Purpose Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is rapidly becoming more accessible and popular as a technique to monitor body composition, especially in athletic populations. This study investigates the reliability of DXA measuring composition active individuals, specifically ascertain biological variability associated with two different types exercise under free-living conditions individuals. Methods Well-trained individuals (27 strength-trained male subjects, 14 female cyclists, cyclists)...
Cycling is recognised as a sport in which there high incidence of poor bone health. Sweat calcium losses may contribute to this. Purpose To examine whether calcium-rich pre-exercise meal attenuates exercise-induced perturbations homeostasis caused by maintenance sweat losses. Methods Using randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, 32 well-trained female cyclists completed two 90 min cycling trials separated 1 day. Exercise were preceded 2 hours either (1352 ± 53 mg calcium) dairy based...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is becoming a popular tool to measure body composition, owing its ease of operation and comprehensive analysis. However, some people, especially athletes, are taller and/or broader than the active scanning area DXA bed must be scanned in sections. The aim this study was investigate reliability measures whole-body composition summed from 2 or 3 partial scans. Physically young adults (15 women, 15 men) underwent 1 4 scans single testing session under...
Some athletes avoid dairy in the meal consumed before exercise due to fears about gastrointestinal discomfort. Regular exclusion of foods may unnecessarily reduce intake high quality proteins and calcium with possible implications for body composition bone health. This study compared effects meals that included (Dairy) or excluded (Control) on gastric comfort subsequent cycling performance. Well-trained female cyclists ( n = 32; mean ± SD; 24.3 4.1 y; VO 2 peak 57.1 4.9 ml/kg/min) completed...
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is associated with increases in acute inflammatory and biochemical markers, swelling, pain, reduced functional performance. This study aimed to investigate the preventative effects of crocodile blood supplementation on DOMS induced by eccentric exercise. Sixteen healthy males were randomly allocated either a (CB, n = 8) or placebo (PL, treatment. Participants receiving CB treatment consumed four capsules freeze–dried powder (1 g day−1) over 18 days. other...
The recursive method known as the stochastic approximation method, can be used among other things, for constructing nonparametric estimators.Its aim is to ease updating of estimator when moving from a sample size n + 1.Some authors have it estimate density and distribution functions, well univariate regression using Bernstein's polynomials.In this paper, we propose approach multidimensional estimators function polynomial by method.We determine an asymptotic expression first two moments our...
Introduction: Hypohydration is known to affect strength, power, intermittent high intensity activity as well physiologic and perceptive responses which in turn may subsequent training bouts. A simple hydration strategy prevent hypohydration (e.g. drinking ad libitum) intake of beverages with higher nutrient content compared water low-fat milk) prove be relevant for athletes. Methods: Female collegiate basketball athletes volunteered participate this randomized crossover study. Participants...
