Using sEMG to investigate muscle activation during a graded exercise test while sustaining SRC
… of SRCs on muscle activation patterns during exercise. This study aimed to investigate differences in normalized LE muscle activity in collegiate athletes with SRC during the acute phase of injury compared to their symptom-free state. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was integrated with the …

Prognostic value of serial exercise test results in physically active coronary artery disease patients
… of this study was to determine whether graded exercise test (GXT) variables known to have prognostic importance in the setting of severe-moderate coronary artery disease (CAD) and early post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients can also differentiate which physically active male patients with …

Examination of a Self-Selected Speed Graded Exercise Test using an Automated Treadmill as a Valid Means to Measure VO2max
The use of graded exercise tests for measuring maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is common practice in cardiopulmonary medicine. Limitations to VO2max are still being debated despite the concept being founded nearly a century ago. It has been suggested that measuring VO2max using traditional …

Effect of Whey Protein Isolate on Oxidative Stress, Exercise Performance, and Immunity
… (WPI), a reported glutathione (GSH) booster, on exercise performance, immune function, and antioxidant status during weight maintenance and energy restriction in humans. Twenty well-trained, college age, male cyclists performed a cycling exercise test for 45 min, the first 7 min at 70% of VO2peak …

The Influence of Resistance Training on Primary Hemostatic Responses
… of platelets following acute strenuous exercise. The present investigation was designed to explore the effects of an acute resistance exercise test (AERET) and recovery on the primary hemostatic system in both resistance trained and untrained individuals.<strong>Methods:</strong> Ten …

Effects of aerobic exercise and weight reduction on carbohydrate metabolism during submaximal exercise in sedentary, overweight women
Hormonal and metabolic responses to submaximal exercise were studied in 11 sedentary, overweight women who participated in an 8 week aerobic exercise program (80% VO2 max) while consuming a hypocaloric diet. A maximal and submaximal treadmill exercise test were performed before and after the …

Physiological effects of a low intensity chair-based exercise program for the elderly
… the effects of a low intensity, chair-based exercise program on selected physiological parameters. Exercise sessions were held 3 alternate days per week, 45 minutes per session, for 8 weeks. Subjects were exercise tested before and after training using a modification of the Smith and Gilligan …

Development of rate related exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and risk of selected coronary disease endpoints
… the study was to determine whether serial graded exercise test (GXT) responses, known to have prognostic importance, in the coronary artery disease population generally, can differentiate certain cardiovascular morbidity and mortality endpoints among physically active patients. Data were obtained …

The effects of coronary heart disease, beta-blockade medications and stage duration on graded exercise testing
… impairments on cardiorespiratory dynamics during exercise testing. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the exercise responses of 26 subjects (ages 37-66 years) to a graded exercise test. Subjects were divided into three groups based on clinical status: apparently healthy (AH; N=8); …

The effects of carbohydrate supplementation on mood states of bodybuilders consuming a low energy diet
… ( "Challenge" at 1.06 gm protein/kg bw) before testing was started. The subjects filled out a Profile of Mood states (POMS) questionnaire fifteen minutes prior to and immediately after a bench press exercise test. The flat bench press exercise test consisted of lifting 7 sets of decreasing …

The effects of tributyrin and butyrate on equine skeletal muscle
… were supplemented tributyrin, and a submaximal exercise test was performed. RNA isolated from the gluteal muscle of horses supplemented with tributyrin had increased myogenin mRNA. Satellite cells isolated from supplemented horses had a higher percentage of proliferating cell nuclear antigen …

CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO ACUTE EXERCISE IN ANTHRACYCLINE TREATED CANCER SURVIVORS AND HEALTHY CONTROLS
Cancer survivors often experience exercise intolerance well after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy. Although cardiotoxicity is a known consequence of anthracycline-based chemotherapy, its relationship to exercise intolerance has not been elucidated. PURPOSE: the objective of this study was …

Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise: an Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Brief Exposure to CPAP in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
… measures, we conducted submaximal ramping exercise tests to an intensity of ~75% of the heart rate reserve in five male subjects. Means and standard deviation for their age and BMI were 57.0±14.7 years and 30.5±7.2, respectively. The baseline exercise test was administered immediately after …

Thyroid Status in Exercising Horses and Laminitic Ponies
… a thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) response test. Our data indicated that EIA is an acceptable method for the measurement of total (T) and free (F) thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in equine plasma. Its measurements are not equivalent to values obtained by radioimmunoassay (RIA), but …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) leg cycling exercise in paraplegia: a pilot study for the definition and assessment of exercise testing protocols and efficacy of exercise
… feedback system for accurate control of exercise workrate and cadence has been employed in this study. This experimental setup allowed the imposition of arbitrary workrate profiles with high precision and provided the potential for highly-sensitive exercise testing. One aim of the work …

Effects of hypervolemia on arterial oxygenation in thoroughbred horses performing exercise simulating the second day of a 3-day equestrian event
… L/hour of fluid as sweat, and during prolonged exercise, effective circulating volume is diminished. During the second day of an equestrian 3-day event (3DE) there is only a limited opportunity for horses to consume fluids. Dehydration is, therefore, a critical issue for horses performing the …

Reliability of the Acetylene Single-Breath Method For Measuring Cardiac Output
… only a single-breath, making measurements during exercise quicker and less invasive for the subject. Certain non-invasive techniques allow for measurement of the disappearance of a soluble inert gas as it diffuses across the blood-gas barrier in the lungs. The rate of disappearance of the gas is …
