The present investigation described and compared the internal external training loads during basketball training. Eight semiprofessional male players (mean ± SD, age: 26.3 6.7 years; stature: 188.1 6.2 cm; body mass: 92.0 13.8 kg) were monitored across a 7-week period preparatory phase of annual plan. A total 44 sessions monitored. Player session ratings perceived exertion (sRPE), heart rate, accelerometer data collected each session. Internal load was determined using sRPE, impulse (TRIMP),...
This study explored the influence of physical and cognitive measures on reactive agility performance in basketball players. Twelve men players performed multiple sprint, Change Direction Speed Test, Reactive Agility Test trials. Pearson's correlation analyses were used to determine relationships between predictor variables (stature, mass, body composition, 5-m, 10-m 20-m sprint times, peak speed, closed-skill time, response time decision-making time) (response variable). Simple stepwise...
Background— The widely used macrolide antibiotic azithromycin increases risk of cardiovascular and sudden cardiac death, although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Case reports, including one we document here, demonstrate that can cause rapid, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in absence QT prolongation, indicating a novel proarrhythmic syndrome. We investigated electrophysiological effects vivo vitro using mice, cardiomyocytes, human ion channels heterologously expressed embryonic...
Examination of activity demands and stoppage durations across game periods provides useful insight concerning fatigue, tactical strategies, playing pace in team sports such as basketball. Therefore, the aims this study were to quantify compare fluctuations quarters professional semiprofessional basketball players. Video-based time-motion analyses conducted multiple games. Frequencies, total (in seconds), distances meters), mean velocities meters per second) calculated for low-intensity...
The measurement of fitness qualities relevant to playing position is necessary inform basketball coaching and conditioning staff role-related differences in groups. To date, sprinting agility performance have not been compared between positions adult male players. Therefore, the purpose this study was describe compare linear speed, closed-skill agility, open-skill backcourt (point guard shooting positions) frontcourt (small forward, power center semiprofessional Six (mean ± SD: age, 24.3 7.9...
Purpose: To compare perceptual and physiological training-load responses during various basketball training modes. Methods: Eight semiprofessional male players (age 26.3 ± 6.7 y, height 188.1 6.2 cm, body mass 92.0 13.8 kg) were monitored across a 10-wk period in the preparatory phase of their plan. Player session ratings perceived exertion (sRPE) heart-rate (HR) gathered base, specific, tactical/game-play Pearson correlations used to determine relationships between sRPE model 2 HR-based...
Summary aim To compare the relative potency of prednisolone (Pred) and dexamethasone (Dex) on short‐term growth bone turnover. method Prospective study over 16 weeks children randomized to receive Pred (40 mg/m 2 ) or Dex (6·5 for first 5 as part MRC‐ALL97/99 induction chemotherapy acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). measurements Lower leg length velocity (LLLV) weight, serum IGF‐I, alkaline phosphatase (bALP) levels creatinine‐adjusted, urinary excretion deoxypyridinoline cross‐links...
Creatine supplementation has been found to significantly increase muscle strength and hypertrophy in young adults (</= 35 yr) particularly when consumed conjunction with a resistance training regime. Literature examining the efficacy of creatine older (55-82 suggests promote greater extent than alone. The following is review literature reporting on effects intramuscular high energy phosphates, skeletal morphology quality life adults. Results suggest be safe, inexpensive effective nutritional...
Resting and postprandial oxidative stress is elevated in those with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Antioxidant supplementation may attenuate the rise following feeding. Therefore we sought to determine effects of acetyl L-carnitine arginate (ALCA) on resting biomarkers glucose lipid metabolism, well stress.Twenty-nine pre-diabetic men women were randomly assigned either 3 g·day⁻¹ ALCA (n = 14; 31 ± yrs) or placebo 15; 35 a double-blind design, consume for eight weeks. Fasting blood...
Summary objective Disturbances in body weight regulation are often encountered during glucocorticoid treatment and associated with increased insulin resistance truncal fat accumulation. Children were investigated who receiving for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). They randomized to receive either prednisolone or dexamethasone as part of induction remission. This randomization process provided a suitable opportunity compare the effects these two administered steroid on surrogate markers...
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) has been used to track changes in total body water (TBW). Accurate TBW estimations can be influenced by both methodological and biological factors. One variation that contributes BIS errors is the electrode placement. The purpose of present study was compare reproducibility validity fixed-distance placements (5 cm) with standard single-site placements. Twenty-nine subjects (fifteen men fourteen women) participated study, while sixty-nine (thirty-three...
The aims of this study were to: (1) provide a comprehensive physiological profile simulated basketball activity and (2) identify temporal changes in player responses controlled settings.
The majority of CKD-related complications stem from cardiovascular pathologies such as hypertension. To help reduce complications, aerobic exercise is often prescribed. Emerging evidence suggests high intensity interval training (HIIT) may be more beneficial than traditional exercise. However, appraisals varying forms exercise, along with descriptions mechanisms responsible for health-related improvements, are lacking. This study examined the effects 8 weeks HIIT (85% VO2max), versus low...
The aim of this investigation was to determine and compare current projected expenditure associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal replacement therapy (RRT), cardiovascular (CVD) in Australia. Data published by Australia New Zealand Dialysis Transplant Registry, Australian Institute Health Welfare, World Bank were used CKD-, RRT-, CVD-related prevalence rates. Prevalence predictions made using a linear regression model. Direct statistical comparisons rates annual increase utilised...
