The Effects of Heat and Cold on Cognitive Function and Endurance Capacity
… working memory, and executive function) and endurance capacity (at 70% of peak power output) over a range of skin and core temperatures and thermal conditions. Chapter 4 investigates the effects of whole-body skin and core warming (hyperthermia) on cognitive function. In addition, the …

Examining physiological roles of adipose derived VEGF: Consequences in substrate availability and endurance exercise capacity in adipocyte specific VEGF deficient mice
… (adipoVEGF-/-) mice would have impaired endurance capacity. Endurance exercise capacity in adipoVEGF-/- (n=10) and littermate control (n=11) mice was evaluated every 4 weeks between 6 & 24 weeks of age using a submaximal endurance run to exhaustion at 20 m/min, 10-degree incline. Maximal …

The effect of dietary standardisation on exercise performance and physiological responses in male athletes
… manipulation within a 15% variation have on endurance capacity and physiological responses, 3) assess the new proposed method to standardise dietary intake, and 4) measure the efficacy of encouraging individuals to stay well-hydrated on next day hydration status. This PhD concluded that …

The effect of environmental temperature on exercise metabolism
The endurance capacity of individuals is diminished during exercise in the heat, such that heat stress leads to an earlier onset of fatigue. Chronic exposure to hot conditions, however, may reverse this process. Exercise in cool conditions can either improve or reduce exercise tolerance depending …

An Investigation of Musculoskeletal Imbalances in the Thoracic and Cervical Regions, with Respect to an Improved Diagnostic Approach for Upper Crossed Syndrome
… range of motion, muscle strength and muscle endurance capacity between a group of patients with Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) and an asymptomatic group. A case-control experiment was completed. The case group consisted of 17 subjects with UCS, recruited through physical therapy and …

The Effects of Resistance Wheel Running on Skeletal Muscle Function and Adaptation in C57BL/10SnJ Mice
… in mouse skeletal muscle (SkM), but its endurance-training effects are lesser known. Methods: Voluntary RWR was modulated as an exercise model to increase mouse hind-limb plantar-flexor torque and to promote endurance-training adaptations. Thirty male mice (cohort 1, n= 16; cohort 2, n= …

Exercise response and the effect of supplemental oxygen during interval training on O2 uptake kinetics, blood lactate levels, and endurance performance in patients with mild, moderate and severe cystic fibrosis
… after the training study. Results: Peak exercise capacity and muscle strength were reduced and O2 uptake kinetics was slower in CF patients than healthy controls. The provision of supplemental O2 during training improved O2 uptake kinetics and resulted in a decrease in ventilation, respiratory …

Physiological adaptations in mdx mice treated with microdystrophin gene therapy and endurance exercise
… plantarflexor torque and exceptional treadmill endurance capacity. However, ex vivo diaphragm and soleus force, as well as metabolic enzyme and mitochondrial respiration assays were differentially improved, revealing unique physiological adaptations to each microdystrophin construct. Together, …

Pre-exercise Fueling and Endurance: Effect of a Pre-exercise Almond-raisin Beverage versus a Commercial Sports Beverage on Performance in Trained Male Runners
… combinations of CHO and fat on fuel use and endurance. To date, there are few studies that systematically explore nutritious, whole food products like nuts and dried fruits as pre-exercise fuel sources for endurance exercise.</p> <p>The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 2 …

The acute effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on the performance of velocity based squat training
… suggesting that tDCS may specifically increase endurance capacity without altering subjective fatigue or movement speed. These findings suggest that anodic tDCS applied to both DLPFC and M1 can effectively improve performance in squat training, allowing athletes to perform more repetitions at a …

Metabolic effects of incremental exercise on Arabian horses fed diets containing corn oil and soy lecithin
… can influence muscle contraction and improve endurance capacity during exercise. When it is combined with corn oil in a total mixed ration, soy lecithin is both highly digestible and palatable to horses. Our objectives in this study were to compare the effects of incremental exercise and …

Carbohydrate loading and its effect on ECG responses
… more than a high-fat diet, the similar endurance capacity for the high-fat and mixed diets could be related to a learning effect on the treadmill and/or psychological considerations of consuming a high-fat diet. Also since heart rate and blood pressure were not significantly different …

The impact of long-term soccer-specific training on the physical development of elite junior soccer players
… (-0.60 + 0.26 s, -0.41 + 2.1 s) and intermittent endurance capacity (1128 + 406 m, 315 + 370 m) were observed in the Academy players compared with non-academy players (p<0.05; Effect Sizes >0.7). These findings indicate that long-term player development programs accelerate the rate physical …

Characterisation of cardiorespiratory responses to electrically stimulated cycle training in paraplegia
… this can occur following high volume FES cycle endurance training is not known. The effect of training on aerobic endurance capacity, as determined by the appearance of respiratory gas exchange thresholds, is also unknown. The oxygen cost (O2 cost) of this type of exercise is about 3.5 times …

The role of lactate supplementation and metabolism in invasion sport performance
… can help players develop aerobic and anaerobic capacity in a short period of time. It would appear supplementation of a 2% calcium lactate solution offers no ergogenic benefit for short-duration performance tests and may in fact have a detrimental effect on endurance capacity. …
