Training utilizing a resistance sled has been shown to confer considerable improvements in athletic performance across speed, strength, and power metrics. However, most available training protocols only investigate pushing and/or pulling isolation, with none incorporating lateral movement (i.e., multiplanar movements). The objective of the present study is determine efficacy novel motorized improve measures while using comprehensive program exercises. Forty-eight healthy collegiate male...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked to numerous threats public health. Of these, physical inactivity became increasingly prevalent, mainly due the widespread closure of indoor gyms. Home-based exercise alternatives were created as potential solutions, but little research is available validating their efficacy improve long-term health and fitness. This case study investigated longitudinal effects ≥three weekly sessions with a smart home-based fitness platform on anthropometric, fitness,...
While there has been a recent onslaught of traditional lab-based fitness measures in immersive virtual reality (IVR) exergaming research, remains paucity the field-based domain, which refers to assessments made outside formal laboratory setting are easier, cheaper, and have more practical application. This study aimed assess changes tests including 1-mile run, 20-m dash, multiple single-leg hop-stabilization test, Abalakov jump, 5-10-5 Pro Agility test during 1-month workout protocol compare...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects concentric-only resistance training in comparison traditional concentric-eccentric on upper and lower body strength using a portable cable-based machine. Thirty-two participants (10 females, 22 males; mean age 23.4 ± 2.0) with minimal experience exercised thrice weekly complete 12-week program. Participants were blinded randomly allocated 1:1 an intervention group (n = 16, wherein used machine (CRT)) or control completed conventional...
Virtual reality and technology-driven ‘exergaming’ have grown in tandem to expand the possibilities of exercise. However, few studies investigated these aspects together context treadmill walking. This study examined effects immersive virtual (IVR) on heart rate (HR) ratings perceived exertion (RPE) while walking a at three different speeds, only one which was disclosed participants. Using single-blinded, randomized control trial with crossover research design, sixteen college-aged adults...
Abstract— A model based upon linear elastic bridging and fiber crack tip shielding is proposed for predicting fatigue growth in a SCS‐6/Ti‐6–4 composite. The characterized by the fiber/matrix debond length rather than interfacial frictional shear strength used most current models. Finite elements combined with fracture mechanics are applied computing local stress intensity. intensity matrix then utilized to predict composite via comparison monolithic propagation data similar Ti‐6–4 material.
