Exercise physiology and cardiac function. Aspects on determinants of maximal oxygen uptake
… heart and the healthy respiratory response to exercise in both males and females, in order to facilitate the differentiation between the physiologically enlarged heart and the pathologically enlarged heart. Paper I showed that the total heart volume (THV) increases with training in both males …

The long-term respiratory health effects of the herbicide, paraquat, among Western Cape workers
… radiographs performed. Oxygen desaturation on exercise testing was by oximetry during a modified stage one exercise test. Results: No association was found between long-term paraquat exposure and reported symptoms, spirometry (FVC, FEVl, FEVl/FVC) and gas transfer (TLco and Kco) or chest …

FROM CLOCKS TO EXERCISE, FROM METABOLISM TO PERFORMANCE: A CHRONOPHYSIOLOGICAL APPROACH
… rhythmic behavior of selected variables and exercise, examining their impact on athletic performance and physiology. The first part of the thesis provides a comprehensive introduction to chronobiology, highlighting its role in regulating physiological processes such as sleep-wake cycles, …

The Effect of Uncompensable Heat Stress On Fatigue, Physiological, and Perceptual Measures
<p><strong>Context:</strong> Exercise in the heat causes physiological and perceptual changes which can indicate decreased performance or heat illness. Understanding the signs of heat stress is important for those who exercise in the heat.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> To examine the effects …

Arterial and venous adaptations to short-term handgrip exercise training
Four studies on vascular and exercise physiology are presented in this document. The 1st study examined the relationships between measures of fitness and FVF in 55 young [22.6 ± 3.5 years] adults. Estimated VO<sub>2peak</sub> correlated with arterial inflow (Ainf) [r=0.54; p=0.012] and resting …

A Comparison of Maximal Exercise Responses among Patients with a Total Artificial Heart, a Left Ventricular Assist Device, or Advanced Heart Failure
The purpose of this study was to evaluate graded exercise responses to treadmill exercise in patients with a total artificial heat (SynCardia, Tucson, AZ). Additionally, this study sought to compare the exercise response in total artificial heart (TAH) patients to both advanced heart failure (HF) …

Effects Of Alpha-GPC and Huperzine-A On Short Term Memory, Anaerobic Power Output, Post Exhaustion Compared To Caffeine And Placebo In Healthy College Age Students
… of the familiarization. Subjects reported to the exercise physiology lab thirty minutes before testing began and consumed either a caffeine, Alpha-GPC and Hup-A, or placebo solution. After the thirty-minute digestion period subjects performed one computer-based short-term memory test, and a …

Three-dimensional body scanning : a novel technique for body composition assessment
… or drink 2 hr previous to testing and did not exercise 4 hr previous to testing. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. Bland-Altmand plots, Pearson correlations, and a oneway ANOVA comparing means were performed. A prediction equation (3D MU) was created using a stepwise regression based …

Effect of a carbohydrate beverage on exercise performance in youth 7-17 years old
… 18-30) were recruited to come to the Applied Exercise Physiology Laboratory on three separate occasions. During the participant’s first visit to the laboratory, they completed a VO2peak test on a cycle ergometer (McMaster protocol). The second and third visits to the laboratory were identical, …

A Comparison Of Energy Expenditure And Prediction Equations During Walking Or Running Corrected For One Mile In Normal Weight And Overweight African American, Asian, And Caucasian Adults And Cross-Validation Of The Equations
… walking and running can lead to a more precise exercise prescription which may lead to an obesity reduction or avoidance. Limited research has focused on EE during walking and running. Therefore, the aims of this study included developing ethnic based cross validated EE prediction equations for …

The Effects of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise in Normobaric Hypoxia on Aerobic Capacity and Body Composition in Overweight and Obese Sedentary Adults
… was to examine if high intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) combined with normobaric hypoxia had a multiplicative effect on body composition, maximal oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2max</sub>), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in overweight and obese sedentary adults. Twelve participates were …

The Relationship between Dorsiflexion Range of Motion and Knee Kinematics in a Land-and-Jump Task
<p>The study examined the relationship between weight-bearing and non weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion and frontal knee kinematics at initial ground contact and maximal knee flexion in a land-and-jump task. Thirteen male participants (age = 23 + 2.35 y, height = 181.4 + 5.68 cm, mass = …
