The use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in individuals living without diabetes is increasing. purpose this study was to profile various CGM metrics around nutritional intake, sleep and exercise a large cohort physically active men women any known metabolic disease diagnosis better understand the normative glycemic response these common stimuli. A total 12,504 adults (age 40 ± 11 years, BMI 23.8 3.6 kg/m2; 23% self-identified as women) wore real-time (Abbott Libre Sense Sport Glucose...
Nowadays, it is widely acknowledged that low physical activity levels are associated with an increase in terms of both disease recurrence and mortality cancer survivors. In this light, deciphering those factors able to hamper or facilitate active lifestyle crucial order patients’ adherence activity. The purpose study was explore barriers motivations a sample female oncological patients, practising running using the ecological model compare them healthy controls. Focus group interviews were...
Abstract Aims To analyse glycaemic patterns of professional athletes with type 1 diabetes during a competitive season. Materials and Methods We analysed continuous glucose monitoring data 12 male cyclists exercise, recovery sleep on days exercise ( CE ) non‐competitive NCE ). assessed whether differences exist between associations dysglycaemia. Results The mean glycated haemoglobin was 50 ± 5 mmol/mol (6.7 0.5%). cycled 280.8 28.1 (entire season 332.6 18.8 days). Overall, time in range...
Purpose: To compare the impact of two different training intensity distributions in terms conditional and performance parameters spent time to recreational athletes. Methods: Two distribution model were performed for 8 weeks by 38 runners. Runners recruited randomly assigned 2 models based on HR detected with maximal test. The percentage splitted zone 1, 3 77/3/20 40/50/10 polarized endurance group (PET) focused (FOC) respectively. Programs balanced total impulse (TRIMP). evaluate effects...

Abstract Background Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a powerful neuropeptide that strongly involved in headache pain pathogenesis by triggering vasodilation, mast cell degranulation and neurogenic inflammation. This evidence has prompted us to investigate the acute influence of endurance exercise on CGRP concentration blood. Methods The study population consisted 48 male amateur runners, who ran half-marathon distance at 75%–85% maximal oxygen uptake. Blood was drawn before run...
Using a large database of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, this study aimed to gain insights into the association between pre-exercise food ingestion timing and reactive hypoglycemia. A group 6,761 users self-reported 48,799 events logged minute-by-minute CGM, which was used detect hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) in first 30 min exercise. linear non-linear binomial logistic regression model investigate probability experiencing An analysis variance conducted compare predictive ability...
This paper compares cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular parameters across three running aerobic speeds in two conditions that differed from a treadmill's movement: flat condition (FC) unpredictable roll variations similar to mountain trail (URV). Twenty well-trained male runners (age 33 ± 8 years, body mass 70.3 6.4 kg, height 1.77 0.06 m, V˙O2max 63.8 7.2 mL·kg-1·min-1) voluntarily participated the study. Laboratory sessions consisted of incremental ramp test (IRT) experimental protocols....
The aim of this study was to analyze the ability recreational master runners accurately maintain their pre-race target time and compare pacing perceived exertion (RPE) different groups athletes according how close they were predicted time. One hundred seventy half marathoners ( n = 135 males; 45 ± 6.6 yrs 35 females; 41.1 6 years) divided in three (slower [SL; 52], [TAR; 57] faster [FA; 61]) based on difference between final (OBJ). Time splits RPE collected every 7 km. Hazard Score (HS)...
Aim: To compare time spent in pre-specified glycemic ranges day and night-time during intensive training professional cyclists with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: Fifteen male T1D on multiple daily injections (age 27±4 years, duration 11±5 BMI 21.6±1.5 kg·min-2, HbA1c 7.2±0.7%, O2max 73±4 ml·kg·min-1) performed road cycle sessions (50-90% of the anaerobic threshold, 1-6 hours) over 9 consecutive days. Time was compared between night using paired t-test Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank...
Abstract Purpose Augmented central arterial stiffness (CAS) increases cardiovascular risk. CAS can be augmented by physical exercise and sympathetic activation (SYMP) induced stressful stimuli. Interestingly, vasoconstriction triggered a stimulant is immediately after strenuous half-marathon compared to at rest. This study assessed whether also augments more post- than pre-half-marathon in response SYMP. Such assessment takes on relevance considering the growing popularity of strenuous,...

The risk of developing a state low energy availability (LEA) (<30 kcals/kg free-fat mass) in endurance athletes is known and recommendations for nutrition are available. However, information on male adolescent cyclists the influence hot temperatures limited.
This observational study investigated the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in a team professional cyclists without diabetes during two consecutive annual training camps. The goal was twofold: to present aggregated CGM metrics such as day/overnight average (DAYAVG/OVNAVG) for this group and association between exercise energy expenditure (megajoules per day), carbohydrate intake (grams), minimum overnight values (millimoles liter). Linear mixed models were employed analysis. Data...
Vascular conductance (VC) regulation involves a continuous balance between metabolic vasodilation and sympathetic vasoconstriction. Endurance exercise challenges the control on VC due to attenuated receptor responsiveness persistence of muscle vasodilation, especially in endurance athletes, predisposing them blood pressure dysfunctions. This study assessed whether acute handgrip-mediated activation (SYMP) restrains sudden leg before after half-marathon. Prior to, within 20 min following...
This study sought to detail and compare the in-ride nutritional practices of a group professional cyclists with type 1 diabetes (T1D) under training racing conditions. We observed seven male road T1D (Age: 28 ± 4 years, HbA1c: 6.4 0.4% [46 mmol.mol-1], VO2max: 73.9 4.3 ml.kg -1.min-1) during pre-season Union Cycliste Internationale multi-stage cycling race (Tour Slovenia). In-ride nutritional, interstitial glucose, performance variables were quantified compared between two events. The energy...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the running kinematics and spring mass model mechanics over an entire half-marathon race in male female athletes on different slopes (-7%, 0% +7%).METHODS: 59 recreational runners (39 males 20 females) participated study. Their steps at own best self-selected speed were video recorded during a (i.e. ecological conditions): kinematic variables speed, stride length frequency, contact flight time) calculated, as well spring-mass characteristics...
