ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING
… effects of IPC administered on a limb prior to exercise with some showing improvements in exercise performance. The overarching aim of the present thesis was to investigate how to optimise IPC to further enhance exercise performance. The optimal protocol of IPC on exercise performance was …

RESPIRATORY MUSCLE UNLOADING AND ENDURANCE EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
Ventilatory demand increases throughout endurance exercise. It was hypothesised that if the normal loads on the respiratory muscles contribute to the limitation of endurance exercise, then a reduction of these loads (resistive unloading) should improve exercise performance. Inspiratory (I) and …

Effects of salbutamol on potassium and exercise performance
… effects on plasma [K+], K+ dynamics during exercise and how these potential changes may impact on exercise performance. This study investigated the effects of salbutamol on K+ regulation at rest, during repeat sprint exercise was also explored.

Chronic hypobaric hypoxia: physiological implications for exercise performance
… is necessary to achieve optimal physical performance at altitude, scientific evidence to support the potentiating effects following return to sea-level is at present equivocal due to the inconclusive findings of a large number of uncontrolled studies. Previous research has focused on the …

The regulation of exercise performance by a complex anticipatory system
… thesis examined the hypothesis that self-paced exercise performance and pacing strategies are regulated by a complex intelligent system in advance of a failure to maintain homeostasis in one or more physiological systems. In the first study, ten trained cyclists performed 20 km cycling …

The effect of upper respiratory tract illness on exercise performance
… upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and exercise performance. The first study documented the incidence of URTI in an athletic population and the second study determined the effect of URTI on exercise performance during the recovery period. Endurance runners (n=29) were used for these …

Effects of buffering agents on high-intensity exercise performance and capacity
High-intensity exercise results in hydrogen ion accumulation, which can have a deleterious effect on muscle function, and thus exercise tolerance. Buffering agents are commonly used to enhance exercise performance and capacity. Two such agents, β-alanine and sodium bicarbonate, increase …

Carbohydrate Supplementation and Resistance Exercise Performance in Males Undergoing Energy Restriction
… of carbohydrate supplementation on resistance exercise performance, cortisol levels, and creatine kinase levels in trained males undergoing energy restriction. Sixteen experimental subjects were randomly assigned to a carbohydrate (C, n=8) or placebo group (P, n=8). The remaining six subjects …

The effects of cocoa flavanol supplementation on endothelial function and exercise performance.
… beneficial effects on endothelial function and exercise performance, especially in clinical populations. Few studies have utilized healthy college-aged adults. Twenty college-aged males and females completed this randomized, double-blind study. Participants completed 14 days of supplementation …

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 …

Post Exercise Ingestion of Plant vs Animal Protein Enhances Exercise Performance Outcomes Similarly
… of a carbohydrate-protein supplement after exercise has garnered considerable interest among both athletes and scientists. However, debate exists about whether the type of protein consumed, animal vs plant, affects exercise performance differently. Thus, it is the purpose of this …

The effects of amlodipine on exercise performance in mild to moderate essential hypertensives
… calcium channel antagonist, amlodipine, on the exercise performance of hypertensive patients is not known. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of amlodipine on maximal (MAX), prolonged submaximal (PSX) and on skeletal muscle function (SMF) in patients with mild hypertension. In a …

Effects of Reduced Muscle Glycogen on Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR), Muscle and Exercise Performance
Fatigue during exercise is associated with reduced muscle glycogen. However, evidence linking glycogen content to fatigue is lacking. In this study we examined whether reduced muscle glycogen content limited SR function or muscle performance. Two groups of female Sprague-Dawley rats were fasted for …
