Sprint interval training (SIT), which consists of vigorous-intensity exercise interspersed with periods rest or low-intensity exercise, can improve human anaerobic performance. Probiotic strains, including yeasts (e.g. Saccharomyces boulardii; Sb), have beneficial effects on health; however, evidence regarding the probiotics performance is unavailable. The current study investigated whether Sb supplementation influences SIT-induced changes to following variables: peak (PPO) and mean (MPO)...
What is the central question of this study? The aim was to identify factors predicting body core temperature athletes at end a 10 km self-paced run in hot environment. main finding and its importance? Hyperthermia subjected running depends on several factors, highlighting integrated control during exercise under environmental heat stress. Five seven variables that significantly predicted are not invasive and, therefore, practical for use outside laboratory environment: heart rate, sweat...
We evaluated the influence of an Antarctic expedition, consisting 26-day ship travel followed by 24-day camping in field during summer season, on hormonal responses, autonomic cardiac control, and mood states individuals that live tropical regions. Data collection was carried out 10 2nd, 16th, 26th days aboard (characterized exposure to low-luminosity temperature-controlled environments) 4th, 11th, 23rd (prolonged natural luminosity cold environments). Morning samples saliva (to determine...
To compare the posttraining recovery timeline of elite Brazilian futsal athletes before (Pre-PS) and after 10 weeks preseason (Post-PS) period high-intensity technical-tactical training.At start (n = 13) at end 7), under-20 male players undertook fitness testing for maximal aerobic power, countermovement jump (CMJ), 10-m sprint with change direction. Furthermore, both Pre-PS Post-PS, participated in a training session where performance psychophysiological measures were recorded before,...
Open-water diving in a polar environment is psychophysiological challenge to the human organism. We evaluated effect of short-term (i.e., 10 min) Antarctic waters on autonomic cardiac control, thyroid hormone concentration, body temperatures, mood, and neuropsychological responses (working memory sleepiness). Data collection was carried out at baseline, before, after four individuals divided into supporting (n=2) groups. In latter group, control (by measuring heart rate variability) also...
Background and Aim: In everyday practice, the anthropometric assessment including measures of skinfolds body girths must be performed avoiding previous physical exercise. However, few studies are conducted using situations with ecological validity. Thereby, this study aimed to compare if 10k treadmill run alters skinfold runners. Methods: Eighteen runners both sexes levels (34 ± 6 years old 8 7 practice 63.6 8.8 ml*kg-1*min-1 VO2max) underwent girths, thickness weight assessments before...
ABSTRACT In Antarctica, human access and presence are complex require detailed planning preparation in advance. The personnel of National Antarctic Programs (NAPs, i.e., scientists support personnel, including military, civilians, mountaineers) stay different isolation, confinement, extreme (ICE) environments such as ships, research stations, scientific summer camps. Antarctica imposes harsh conditions that influence physiological psychological responses impacting health, mood, physical...
