Influence of athlete heart rate, rate of perceived exertion, and anxiety in rowing practice and competition
<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in rowing, how athlete perception of pre-race anxiety relates to HR and RPE, and how these variables change between practice and competition. Four …

Heart rate variability and wellness monitoring in collegiate athletes
Purpose: Heart rate variability (HRV) is the measure of time between heartbeats. It reflects autonomic nervous system modulation of the cardiovascular system, and is often used to track stressors acting upon the body. In the recent past it has been applied to athletes to track the influence of …

Fatigue in people with Parkinson's Disease: the effects of exercise
… there are no effective methods for the treatment of fatigue in people with Parkinson’s disease. The intervention study (n=105; intervention group: n=54; control group: n=51) comprised three parts. In the first part different measures of fatigue were explored in relation to activity levels and …

Quantifying neuromuscular performance of elite rugby union players: Measurement characteristics and moderating factors
This thesis investigates the neuromuscular status of elite rugby union players through longitudinal countermovement jump (CMJ) monitoring. A systematic and agnostic framework for selecting CMJ metrics is proposed, integrating reliability, sensitivity, and covariance considerations. Over four …

Chronic versus acute ingestion of sodium citrate: a randomized placebo controlled cross-over trial for swimming 200 metres in well-trained swimmers age 13-17
… design was used to investigate sodium citrate dihydrate (Na-CIT) supplementation improve 200m swimming performance. Ten well-trained, male swimmers (14.9 ± 0.4y; 63.5 ± 4kg) performed four 200m time trials: acute (ACU) supplementation (0.5g/kg), acute placebo (PLC-A), chronic (CHR) …

Examining Sex Differences in Substrate Utilization During Threshold-Based Exercise Prescription
The traditional “relative percent method” (TRAD) of prescribing exercise (e.g. % of maximal oxygen uptake [%VO2max]) elicits sex specific amounts of metabolic stress and ratios of carbohydrate to fat oxidation that result in a lower steady-state respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in females. …

The effect of Fast Eccentric Squats on measures of strength, power and speed
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of increased eccentric movement velocity during a submaximal back squat on measures of strength, power and speed as well as examine the effect of recovery following eccentric training had on the performance. Eleven participants were randomly placed …

Jump Strategy Changes in Collegiate Women Soccer Players
<p>Countermovement jumps (CMJ) are often utilized to monitor athletes because of their sensitivity to neuromuscular fatigue, which can be seen through assessing jump strategies. The current literature has reported conflicting views on how jump performance is impacted over acute and longitudinal …
