ENDURANCE ATHLETES INTEGRATE FOUR CONDITIONING CONCEPTS IN THEIR TRAINING PROGRAMS: high-volume training (HVT), "threshold-training" (THR), high-intensity interval (HIIT) and a combination of these aforementioned concepts known as polarized (POL). The purpose this study was to explore which four provides the greatest response on key components endurance performance in well-trained athletes.Forty eight runners, cyclists, triathletes, cross-country skiers (peak oxygen uptake: (VO2peak): 62.6 ±...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) in junior and adult soccer has been shown to improve oxygen uptake (VO₂) enhance performance. The main purpose of this study was examine the short term effects a 5-week HIIT vs. high-volume (HVT) program 14-year-old players regarding on VO₂max 1,000-m time (T₁₀₀₀) sprinting jumping In period, 19 male with mean (SD) age 13.5 ± 0.4 years performed at close ~90% maximal heart rate. HVT intensity set 60-75% increased significantly (7.0%) from pre post but...
Although it is becoming increasingly popular to monitor parameters related training, recovery, and health with wearable sensor technology (wearables), scientific evaluation of the reliability, sensitivity, validity such data limited and, where available, has involved a wide variety approaches. To improve trustworthiness collected by wearables facilitate comparisons, we have outlined recommendations for standardized evaluation. We discuss devices themselves, as well experimental statistical...
To compare the effects of a 3-week multimodal rehabilitation involving supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on female breast cancer survivors with respect to key variables aerobic fitness, body composition, energy expenditure, cancer-related fatigue, and quality life those standard program. A randomized controlled trial design was administered. Twenty-eight women, who had been treated for were randomly assigned either group performing exercise low-to-moderate intensity (LMIE; n...

Physical activity reduces the incidences of noncommunicable diseases, obesity, and mortality, but an inactive lifestyle is becoming increasingly common. Innovative approaches to monitor promote physical are warranted. While individual monitoring aids in design effective interventions enhance activity, a basic prerequisite that devices exhibit high validity.Our goal was assess validity heart rate (HR) energy expenditure (EE) while sitting or performing light-to-vigorous with 4 popular...
Abstract Background: Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) benefit from regular home-based exercise (HbE). In spite of recommendations, a relevant proportion German axSpA patients does not adhere to recommended HbE practices. To enhance care, we developed the novel digital therapeutic (DTx) “Axia” compliant European medical device regulation (MDR). Axia offers modern app-based solution patient educative content and further integrated features. Objective: We aimed assess Axia’s...
ChatGPT may be used by runners to generate training plans enhance performance or health aspects. However, the quality of generated based on different input information is unknown. The objective study was evaluate ChatGPT-generated six-week for granularity. Three were using 22 criteria drawn from literature and coaching experts a 1-5 Likert Scale. A Friedmann test assessed significant differences in between plans. For 1, 2 3, median rating <3 given 19, 11, 1 times, 3 5, 8 times >3 0, 6, 13...
Training volume in swimming is usually very high when compared to the relatively short competition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been demonstrated improve performance a period. The main purpose of present study was examine effects 5-week HIIT versus high-volume (HVT) 9-11-year-old swimmers on performance, 100 and 2,000 m time (T(100 m) T(2,000 m)), VO(2peak) rate maximal lactate accumulation (Lac(max)). In crossover study, 26 competitive with mean (SD) age 11.5 ± 1.4...
The effects of circuit-like functional high-intensity training (CircuitHIIT) alone or in combination with high-volume low-intensity exercise (Circuitcombined) on selected cardio-respiratory and metabolic parameters, body composition, strength the quality life overweight women were compared. In this single-center, two-armed randomized, controlled study, performed 9-weeks (3 sessions·wk-1) either CircuitHIIT (n = 11), Circuitcombined 8). Peak oxygen uptake perception physical pain increased to...
Purpose Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) was recently shown to improve repeated-sprint ability (RSA) cycling. This phenomenon is likely reflect fiber type-dependent, compensatory vasodilation, and therefore, our hypothesis that RSH even more beneficial for activities involving upper body muscles, such as double poling during cross-country skiing. Methods In a double-blinded fashion, 17 competitive skiers performed six sessions of repeated sprints (each consisting four sets five 10-s...
Semen is the main vector for HIV transmission and contains amyloid fibrils that enhance viral infection. Available microbicides target components have proven largely ineffective in preventing sexual virus transmission. In this study, we establish CLR01, a ‘molecular tweezer’ specific lysine arginine residues, inhibits formation of infectivity-enhancing seminal amyloids remodels preformed fibrils. Moreover, CLR01 abrogates semen-mediated enhancement infection by virion–amyloid complexes...
Athletes schedule their training and recovery in periods, often utilizing a pre-defined strategy. To avoid underperformance and/or compromised health, the external load during should take into account individual's physiological perceptual responses. No single variable provides an adequate basis for planning, but continuous monitoring of combination several indicators internal training, off-training as well may allow individual responsive adjustments program effective manner. From practical...
Objective: To compare the effects of multimodal therapy including supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with those standard (TRAD) concerning key variables physical fitness (peak power and oxygen uptake), motor skills, social behavior, quality life in boys ADHD. Method: A single-center, two-arm randomized, controlled design was used, 28 (8-13 years age, IQ = 83-136) being randomly assigned to HIIT (three sessions/week, 4 × 4-min intervals at 95% peak heart rate) or TRAD.
