It has been postulated that additional adiposity a negative effect on performance in heterogeneous groups of runners. Previous studies have not tested this hypothesis homogeneous elite The purpose study was to determine whether the sum skinfold thicknesses and specific single sites were related competitive running male female athletes. In total, 184 top-class runners (130 males 54 females) volunteered participate study. Skinfolds measured at following sites: biceps, triceps, subscapular,...

Background and aims To determine the relationship between risk of exercise addiction (REA) health status in amateur endurance cyclists. Methods In 859 (751 men 108 women) cyclists 718 inactive subjects (307 411 women), we examined REA (Exercise Addiction Inventory), training (volume, frequency, experience, performance), socioeconomic status, quality life (QoL) (SF-12), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), anxiety depression (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale), cardiometabolic risk: body...

To evaluate the effect of physical performance and extracurricular organized activities (EOPA) in normal- overweight children.A random sample 1,068 schoolchildren (7-12 years old) representative region Aragon (Spain) was selected divided into normal-, obese groups based on previously published body mass index reference standards. Physical assessed by European test battery. EOPA were estimated when children performed at least 3 h per week during previous year addition to school...

Numerous studies have observed cardiac biomarker release with prolonged exercise. Despite this, we are unsure as to the constituent aspects of any given exercise bout that may be important in promoting release. This study examined influence duration and intensity on appearance biomarkers. Twenty‐one subjects ran for 45, 90 180 min at 85% 95% their individual anaerobic threshold six different days randomized. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) N‐terminal pro‐brain natiuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) were...

Abstract Aim Exercise addiction is a compulsive need to engage in physical activity despite potential negative consequences. This study aims analyze adolescents' psychosocial health relation the risk of exercise addiction, focusing on competition levels, sport types, gender, and age. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted with 7,596 participants (44.2% girls) aged 11–19. Data (PAQ-C PAQ-A), sleep quality (PSQI), anxiety (SAS), depression symptoms (BDI-II), eating disorders (EDI-3),...

Summary The objectives of this study were: (i) to compare the sleep quality at home patients with fibromyalgia that healthy controls; and (ii) examine factors associated in fibromyalgia. In addition anthropometric measures, 75 women 48 controls completed standardized questionnaires assessed quality, functional impairment (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), depression, anxiety physical activity level. Comparisons between groups, correlation coefficients a series hierarchical multiple...

We evaluated the influence of a 14-wk endurance running program on exercise-induced release high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and NH2-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Fifty-eight untrained participants were randomized to supervised exercise (14 wk, 3-4 days/wk, 120-240 min/wk, 65-85% maximum heart rate) or control group. At baseline after training program, hs-cTnT NT-proBNP assessed before 5 min, 1 h, 3 6 12 24 h 60-min maximal test. Before training, was...

Home advantage in competitive sports is well documented despite some contradictory results. Previous studies have identified 5 main causes of home sports: crowd, familiarity, travels, rules and territoriality. Moreover, several proposed the influence these factors over psychological behavioral states athletes, coaches referees. The present review summarizes available scientific evidences about sport tries to identify environmental this phenomenon.

Summary Adequate sleep has been positively related with health and school achievement outcomes during adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations objectively measured self‐reported duration quality academic cognitive performance in adolescents. This conducted 257 adolescents (13.9 ± 0.3 years) from DADOS (Deporte, ADO lescencia y Salud). Objectively were obtained by a wrist‐worn GENEA ctiv accelerometer Spanish version Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire,...

The impact of intermittent exercise on cardiac biomarker release has not been clearly established. In experienced athletes, we examined the acute effect a heavy resistance training session (n=18 males) and an indoor soccer match (n=21, 11 males, 10 females) cTnI, cTnT, NT-proBNP. Biomarkers were assayed from blood samples collected at rest, immediately post- 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h post-exercise. resulted in increase NT-proBNP (pre: 15±17, peak post: 41±56 ng L−1; p=0.001) but cTnI 0.024±0.009,...

The study tested the hypothesis that physiological measurements can predict marathon running performance in a top-level homogeneous group of males and females. Ten male, performance: 2:12:04, coefficient variation (CV)=2.33%, 8 female runners, 2:34:53, CV=4.54%, performed an increment test on treadmill (starting speed, km.h-1; increments, 2 duration, 3 min to exhaustion). heart rate (HR), VO2 lactate concentrations were measured at end each exercise level. During recovery time, HR measured....

Objective: To determine the influence of age, training status, race time, and exercise intensity on appearance cardiac biomarkers after a cycle-touring event. Design: Pre-post measurements. Setting: University Zaragoza, Spain. Participants: Ninety-one amateur cyclists. Intervention: The 2005 Quebrantahuesos event (distance: 206 km; altitude difference: 3800 m). Main Outcome Measures: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) were measured day before...

This study had two objectives: (i) to examine individual variation in the pattern of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) release response high-intensity rowing exercise, (ii) establish whether heterogeneity biomarker appearance was influenced by athletic status (elite vs. amateur). We examined cTnI NT-proBNP 18 elite 14 amateur rowers before 5 min, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h after a 30-min maximal test. Compared with pre-exercise levels, peak...

Sleep is essential for the adolescent's health and well-being. Despite existing evidence of positive relationship between physical activity quality sleep, some other factors could mediate this association. The purpose present study was to clarify interaction level sleep in adolescents depending on their gender.A total 12,459 subjects 11 19 years old (5073 male 5016 female) reported data regarding activity.Better by males regardless (d=0.25, P<0.001). Better active (P<0.05), it improved both...

J Strength Cond Res 25(3): 819-824, 2011-This study aimed to determine performance differences, based on Wingate (WAnT), between homogeneous groups male female runners competing at distances ranging from 100 m marathon. We also attempted establish a link running ability as measured by WAnT. In total, 116 world-class (86 men 30 woman)...

Abstract Available scientific data related to cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release after intermittent exercise is limited. It also of interest determine what personal or environmental factors mediate the exercise-induced cTnI. This study had two objectives: 1) examine individual cTnI a basketball match; and 2) establish influence athlete status as well biological age on release. Thirty-six players (12 adult elite [PBA]: 27.3±4.1 years, 12 amateur [ABA]: 29.6±2.9 junior [JBA]: 16.6±0.9 years)...
