Effects of Aerobic Capacity Phenotype on Adaptive Responses to Ischemic Stress
… diminished substrate availability. Active aerobic exercise has been shown to improve both vascular and metabolic remodeling within and around ischemic tissues. However, active exercise programs, while consistently beneficial, still generate a very heterogeneous response, suggesting the …

THE EFFECT OF INTERMITTENT CYCLE TRAINING TIME AND INTENSITY ON AEROBIC CAPACITY
Introduction: Aerobic exercise capacity outperforms established clinical risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, obesity and diabetes in predicting all-cause mortality (Myer et al., 2004). ‘Lack of time’ is the most commonly cited barrier to sufficient amounts of physical activity (Trost et …

USING ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF HANDGRIP STRENGTH TO PREDICT AEROBIC CAPACITY IN WHEELCHAIR USERS
… users have been shown to have low physical capacity and impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Current tests and protocols for assessing physical capacity in wheelchair users have specific boundaries. Measuring handgrip strength (HGS) with electronic handgrip dynamometers …

Factors determining 200-m kayak performance: Muscle strength, aerobic capacity, stroke kinematics and training
… athletes, it is not known whether strength and aerobic capacity, or changes in them, influence performances in high-level kayak athletes. In Study 1 of the present thesis, relationships between isoinertial strength (i.e., bench press, bench row, chin-up and deadlift), VO2max, and 200-m race …

Repeated Sprint Ability: The influence of aerobic capacity on energy pathway response and fatigue of hockey players
… this population-specific void. The first study, "Aerobic Capacity is Associated with Improved Repeated Shift Performance in Hockey," established a foundation for future RSA research to build on by 1) accounting for task-specificity by obtaining players' VO2peak on a skating treadmill using a …

SIMILAR EFFECTS OF COLD ADAPTATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING ON GROWTH, MAXIMUM AEROBIC CAPACITY, AND METABOLISM IN YOUNG RATS
… Most importantly, both groups had increases in aerobic capacity and cold tolerance. DIT and norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis (NE) were reduced indicating a conservation of energy. Both groups also had reductions in body weight which were primarily due to decreases in carcass fat.</p><p>There …

Systemic Insulin Sensitivity and Skeletal Muscle Akt Signaling in Rats Artificially Selected for Low and High Aerobic Capacity
… are unclear. I hypothesized low intrinsic aerobic capacity is associated with reduced systemic insulin sensitivity via skeletal muscle insulin signaling. After 34 generations of selective breeding, high aerobic capacity (HCR) rats exhibited an 8-fold increase in running distance vs low …

Fitness and cognitive processing speed in persons with multiple sclerosis
… with MS. To date, two studies have identified aerobic capacity as a correlate of cognition in MS, but there has yet to be an investigation of multiple domains of fitness as correlates of cognition in this population. Such an examination is important for identifying the appropriate modes of …

The effects of a walking program on aerobic fitness, riboflavin and thiamin status, and birth outcome in pregnant women taking vitamin-mineral supplements
The effects of an aerobic walking program, from 22 to 30 wk gestation, on aerobic fitness, riboflavin and thiamin status, and birth outcome were studied in 28 healthy, pregnant women, 24-36 yr of age, receiving vitamin-mineral supplements. Aerobic capacity was evaluated by measurements of heart …
