Muscle oxygenation (MO) status is the dynamic balance between O 2 utilization and O 2 delivery. Low-impact high-intensity interval exercise MO responses in the exercise and recovery stage are still unclear. We compared the differences in MO and physiological parameters between high-intensity interval water-based exercise (WHIIE) and high-intensity interval land bike ergonomic exercise (LBEHIIE) in postmenopausal women. Eleven postmenopausal women completed WHIIE or LBEHIIE in counter-balanced order. Eight sets …

During the first three months of the Temple Vie programme, average weight loss in 36 subjects exceeded 13 kg. There were associated improvements in Patient Reported Outcome Measures, blood pressure and serum lipids. The Covid-19 pandemic may focus attention on programmes that give rise to rapid weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular health parameters.

Rock climbing has become a mainstream sport, contested on the Olympic stage. The work/rest pattern of bouldering is unique among disciplines, and little is known about its physiological demands. This study characterised the cardiorespiratory responses to simulated competition. Eleven elite boulderers (7 male) volunteered to participate (age= 23.3±4.5 years; mass= 68.2±9.7 kg; stature= 1.73±0.06 m; body fat= 10.4%±5%). Subjects completed incremental treadmill running to determine maximal capacities. On a separate …

Background Inertial sensors, such as accelerometers, serve as convenient devices to predict the energy expenditures (EEs) during physical activities by a predictive equation. Although the accuracy of estimate EEs especially matter to athletes receive physical training, most EE predictive equations adopted in accelerometers are based on the general population, not athletes. This study included the heart rate reserve (HRR) as a compensatory parameter for physical intensity and derived new equations customized for sedentary, regularly exercising …

Energy drinks are often consumed by the general population, as well as by active individuals seeking to enhance exercise performance and augment training adaptations. However, limited information is available regarding the efficacy of these products. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a commercially available caffeine-and protein-containing energy drink on metabolism and muscular performance. Sixteen resistance-trained males (n= 8; mean±SD; age: 22.4±4.9 years; body mass: 78.8±14.0 kg; …

This survey research aims to investigate the differences between nutritional status and academic performance between male and female undergraduate food and nutrition students. Two hundred and forty-six students were collected from the Department of Food and Nutrition, Faculty of Home Economics Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. Nutritional assessment was determined by body composition, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, hemoglobin (HGB), blood vessel width (%), venous …

Insulin resistance is associated with the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Insulin resistance is regulated by various cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory myokine, and selenoprotein P (SeP), a liver-derived secretory hepatokine. High levels of IL-6 and/or SeP have been shown to contribute to insulin resistance, and exercise is a first-line therapy for NAFLD. We have developed a hybrid training system (HTS): a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device to enhance exercise …

Abstract Background and Study Aim. The nutritional status of children can be assessed on the basis of clinical examination, laboratory procedures and anthropometric measurements. Height and body weight are most often used to determine nutrition. Children and adolescents who are at risk of being overweight often also become obese adults. Material and Methods. The research was conducted on a sample of 136 students (67 boys and 69 girls), with an average age of 11.56 years. The aim of the study was to determine the degree …

Purpose: The article presents the results of analyses of students' foot pressure distribution on the ground, as well as their body balance before and after exercise (Harvard Step Test). The aim of the paper was to carry out a comparative analysis of foot pressure distribution on the ground, as well as assess the degree of body balance before and after exercise. With that purpose in view, the following research hypothesis was formulated: in the students participating in the study, the distribution of foot pressure on the ground and the degree of …

The aim of this study is to determine whether there are differences between 25 footballers playing in different positions in terms of selected physical and physiological features. 25 male professional football players with different positions [goalkeeper (n= 3), defense (n= 9), midfield (n= 10), striker (n= 3)] voluntarily participated in the study. Football players' ages, body weights, height, flexibility values, vertical jump values, 10 m reaction speed, aerobic capacities (VO2 max KAH) were determined. In order to provide information about the …
