Abstract The effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) frequency on cardiometabolic health and quality life were examined in 35 healthy inactive adults (age: 31.7±2.6 yrs, VO2peak: 32.7±7.4 ml·kg−1 ·min−1). Participants randomly assigned to a control (CON) two groups, which performed 10×60-s cycling at ~83% peak power, (HIIT-2) or three times per week (HIIT-3) for eight weeks. Compared with CON, both regimes resulted similar improvements VO2peak (HIIT-2: 10.8%, p=0.048, HIIT-3:...

ABSTRACT Healthy midlife cognitive function (CF) reduces the risk of later decline. Emerging evidence suggests that chrono‐nutrition may be associated with CF. This cross‐sectional cohort study aimed to examine associations between behaviours and CF in adults aged 45–65 years living Cyprus. Chrono‐nutrition, including misalignments actual preferred eating times, Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence, sleep physical activity were assessed using validated questionnaires. Computerised...

Background: The present study aimed to explore the associations between functional capacity and global cognition, executive function well-being in older adults. Methods: Ninety-seven adults (age 80.6 ± 8.2 years) were examined for cognitive (Mini-Mental State Examination), (symbol cancellation test), (sit-to-stand tests, 6 min walk test, timed up-and-go test handgrip strength test) (quality of life, fatigue levels, sleep quality daily sleepiness). Adjusted partial correlations computed...

The aim of the present study was to examine effects creatine (Cr) supplementation on power output during repeated sprints a non-motorized treadmill. Sixteen recreationally active males volunteered for this (age 25.5 ± 4.8 y, height 179 5 cm, body mass 74.8 6.8 kg). All participants received placebo (75 mg glucose·kg−1·day−1) days and then performed baseline test (6 × 10 s non-motorised treadmill). Thereafter, they were randomly assigned into Cr monohydrate·kg−1·day−1) or supplementation, as...

Abstract Aim Individuals living in a hot environment appear to face increased risk of dehydration. Currently there is not extensive literature on the adolescent population relation hydration. The aim present study was assess hydration status and total water intake (TWI) at school, adolescents environment, investigate association TWI with various subjective feelings. Methods 141 (boys n = 102), age 15–17 years, assessed via urine specific gravity (USG), beginning (07:30 am) end (1:30 pm) one...

The effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in inducing positive physiological adaptations is well documented. However, its impact on perceptual responses and future physical activity (PA) engagement less evaluated. present study aimed to examine the effects HIIT frequency responses, health-related quality life (HRQOL), influence PA participation. Thirty-five inactive adults were randomly assigned a control (CON) 2 groups that performed (10 × 60 s cycling, ∼83% peak power...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dehydration on archery performance, subjective feelings and heart rate response. Ten national level archers performed two competition simulations, once under euhydration (EUH) in a dehydrated state (DEH), induced by 24-h reduced fluid intake. Hydration status was verified prior each trial urine specific gravity (USG ≥ 1.025). Archery score measured according official regulations. Subjective thirst, fatigue concentration were recorded visual...

To compare the metabolic, cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses to three isoenergetic high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) protocols of different bout duration an continuous protocol.Eleven healthy males (age, 28 ± 6 yr) performed four 20-min cycling trials equal mean power output 1 wk apart. Participants cycled either continuously (CON) or intermittently with 10 s (HIIE10), 30 (HIIE30), 60 (HIIE60) bouts at intensities corresponding 49% 100% peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak). Recovery...

This study examined the effects of a simulated judo competition among cadet athletes in physiological and metabolic responses. Nine participated study. The consisted four 4-minute matches, separated by fifteen minutes recovery. During each match, athletes’ attacks were recorded, during recovery time, concentrations lactate (La), triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU) measured. heart rate (HR) rating perceived exertion (RPE) also obtained. results this indicate high impact multiple matches have...

: This study compared physiological and perceptual variables between short long durations of rowing-based high intensity interval exercise (HIIE).

The acute and delayed hormonal blood cell responses to a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, were examined before after 3-week intervention (9 HIIT sessions of 4-6 × 30 s cycling bouts) in eight recreationally active male volunteers (age: 24.3 ± 1.4 y, VO2max: 41.2 3.2 ml/kg/min). Blood samples collected 0.5, 24, 48 h following the first last session. Before training, session induced increases cortisol, prolactin TSH concentration, while free-T4 peaked 24 later (p < 0.001)...
