The effect of cognitive strategies on endurance performance
… pain or effort is a major factor which limits endurance performance. It has been claimed that cognitive strategies can mediate perceived effort and enhance endurance performance (Morgan & Pollock, 1977). These authors have suggested that association, focusing on bodily sensations and race …

The role of supplementary calcium in submaximal exercise and endurance performance.
… the ergogenicity of supplementary calcium in endurance exercise via studying its influence on substrate metabolism and body composition. Study 1 examined the effects of four weeks of calcium (citrate) supplementation (1000 mg elemental calcium/day) on 60 minutes of cycling at a submaximal …

The effects of the glycaemic index of carbohydrate meals on metabolism, recovery and endurance performance
… have on physiological responses and subsequent endurance performance.Study 1 investigated the effects of consuming either a low or high GI meal 45 min prior to exercise on cycling TT performance. It was observed that consuming a low GI meal 45 minutes prior to performing a 40k TT, resulted in a …

Effect of glycerol hyperhydration before exercise in trained triathletes on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses
… hyperhydration in 4 trained male triathletes on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses. For this purpose, the subjects received, using a randomized, double-blind and crossover protocol, either a glycerol (1.2 g glycerol/kg/bodyweight (BW) with 18 ml/kg/BW of …

The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
… but their combined effects on physical performance are relatively underexplored. As such, the purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the concurrent effects of mental and physical fatigue on upper limb neuromechanics and endurance performance, compared to just mental fatigue and …

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
Background: Exercise performance is reduced in individuals with moderate to severe cystic fibrosis (CF). A ventilatory mechanical limitation, arterial hypoxemia, cardiovascular abnormalities, alteration in O2 uptake kinetics and reduced muscle strength may contribute to the reduced exercise …

Running Endurance in 27-hour Fasted Humans
… to determine the effects of a 27-hour fast on endurance performance. Each subject completed two exercise tests at 72% peak oxygen uptake (Vo<sub>2</sub>max), one following a 27-hour fast and one three hours after a pre-exercise meal, in random order. Fasting caused a 44.7±5.8% (±SE) decrease in …

Range and endurance modelling of a multi-engine aircraft with one engine inoperative (oei)
… causes several negative effects to a number of performance variables in addition to the loss of engine thrust. The range and endurance of an aircraft are directly related to the quantity of the fuel available and the fuel consumption rate. This thesis was conducted to investigate range and …

Influence of protein nutrition and exercise on muscle metabolism
… feeding harnesses any ergogenic benefit for endurance athletes. In this thesis demonstrate no effect of protein on endurance performance. Furthermore, data presented herein indicates that protein co-ingestion does not enhance recovery 24 hours after exercise. Consequently, there is currently …

Effects of competition on performance, and the underlying psychophysiological mechanisms
… to explain the effects of competition on performance. In the first experiment novice participants undertook a golf putting task under varying levels of competitive pressure. Fewer putts were holed with increased competitive pressure. Mediation analyses revealed that effort, muscle activity …

Mechanisms of fatigue during prolonged exercise in the heat
… in body temperature is a major factor limiting endurance performance in the heat and it is shown in this thesis that the effects of raised body temperature on performance, perception and neuroendocrine response to exercise are mediated by an interaction of body temperatures. Prolactin has been …

The effect of carbohydrate-loading and carbohydrate ingestion on fuel substrate kinetics during prolonged cycling
… ingestion during exercise can enhance endurance performance by supplying carbohydrate for oxidation. However, the precise mechanism(s) underlying the proposed ergogenic effects of these procedures remain to be established. The studies in this thesis were therefore designed to examine …
