Extreme endurance exercise provides a valuable research model for understanding the adaptive metabolic response of older and younger individuals to intense physical activity. Here, we compare wide range physiologic parameters in two cohorts seven trained men, age 30 ± 5 years or 65 6 years, before after participants travelled ≈3000 km by bicycle over 15 days.Over 15-day intervention, lost 2-3 kg fat mass with no significant change body weight. V̇O2 max did not cyclists, but decreased (p =...
Relationships between heart rate recovery after exercise (HRR, baseline variability measures (HRV), and time to perform a 10Km running trial (t10Km) were evaluated in "master" athletes of endurance assess whether the measured indexes may be useful for monitoring training status athletes. Ten “master” endurance, aged 40-60 years, recruited. After HRV, performed graded maximal test on treadmill HRR was at 1 2 minutes from recovery. Subsequently they t10Km related HRV indexes. The significantly...
Abstract Many studies reported various relationships between 2000-m rowing performance and anthropometric as well metabolic variables, however, little is known about 60-s mean power in elite youth athletes. The aim of this study was to develop different regression models predict indoor time (t 2000 ) using maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max established during a all-out test (W 60 national rowers. Fifteen male Italian rowers (age: 15.7 ± 2.0 years; body height: 176.0 8.0 cm; mass: 71.2 10.0 kg)...
Background The aim of this study was to investigate if the supplementation with Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) juice may affect plasma redox balance and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters following a maximal effort test, in young physically active women.Methods A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled crossover comprising eight women (23.25 ± 2.95 years, 54.13 9.05 kg, 157.75 0.66 cm BMI 21.69 kg/m2) carried out. containing OFI diluted water Placebo solution were supplied (170 ml; =...
Abstract Background Digital technologies are increasingly indispensable in physicians’ clinical practice. Despite their advantages, they also linked to information overload and constant availability, which might affect healthcare professionals’ quality of life. The study aims investigate the utilisation digital among providers identify possible predictors techno-stress associated with these technologies. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire distributed...
Cerasola, D, Cataldo, A, Bellafiore, M, Traina, Palma, Bianco, and Capranica, L. Race profiles of rowers during the 2014 Youth Olympic Games. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 2055-2060, 2018-Among different factors affecting outcome elite rowing competitions, pacing strategy plays a relevant role. The purpose this study was to analyze race youth athletes competing at Games over distance 1,000 m. According competition sculling sweep events, 96 (17-18 years) (48 male 48 female) were divided into...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to look for a new, simple, and fast method assessing monitoring indoor race performance assess the relationship between 20 s, 60 2000 m rowing performances youth rowers evaluate their anaerobic profile. Methods: For three consecutive days, 17 young able-bodied male (15.8 ± 2.0 years), performed tests (20 m) on ergometer. Mean power (W20, W60, W2000) time (t2000) were considered analysis. In addition, 14 athletes (15-18 years) used as control group. To...
During 2000m indoor rowing performances, the estimated aerobic and anaerobic contribution are 65-75% 25-35%, respectively2. In considering that power could be an important predictor of performance1, aim this study was to analyse relationship between outputs during a Wingate test (WAnT) on cycling ergometer performance in young rowers. two separate days, 11 (14.9±1.1yrs) male rowers performed 30s WAnT ergometer. peak (PP) mean (MP), time (t2000) were collected. Moreover, PP MP normalized with...
The contribution of fat oxidation to energy production during exercise is influenced by intensity exercise. aim this study was assess the relationship between highest value rate (FATmax) and oxygen uptake (VO2) in sedentary type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients vs healthy subjects. Sedentary T2D subjects were evaluated a graded test, detected. Data show that not impaired positive linear correlation FATmax both VO2 VO2max suggests even muscle oxidative capacity might increase response aerobic training.
