The Effect of Ten Days of Heat Acclimation on Exercise Capacity during Acute Altitude Exposure (4350 m)
… the effect of heat acclimation on exercise capacity during acute altitude exposure (4350 m). Eight trained men residing at approximately 1600 m performed tests of maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) at 1600 m and 4350 m, a 16 km time-trial (TT) (4350 m), and a heat tolerance test (1600 m) …

Effect of acute dietary nitrate consumption on submaximal oxygen consumption and oxidative stress in hypoxia
… at sea level may reduce oxygen cost during submaximal exercise in hypoxia. Therefore, we investigated the metabolic response during exercise at altitude following acute nitrate consumption. Ten well-trained (61.01±7.37 ml/kg/min) males (age 28±7 yr) completed 3 experimental trials (T1, T2, T3). …

PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS TO HEAT ACCLIMATION; REPERCUSSIONS ON CYCLING PERFORMANCE
… Given that we only observed an increase in maximal aerobic capacity in the heat after 9 heat acclimation, but improvements in maximal aerobic power and time trial performance in all three environments, it is possible that heat acclimation either led to enhancement of anaerobic energy supply, …

High-Intensity Interval Training in the Heat
… thermal and cardiovascular strain, and maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max). Three studies investigated these outcomes between the first and fifth round of HIIT (8-min warm-up and rounds of 4-min work×3-min recovery). V̇O2max was measured on separate occasions after the first and final …

The role of the endogenous opioid system in thermoregulation during exercise
… subjects performed 30 minutes cycling at 50 % maximal aerobic capacity in an environmentally controlled laboratory. The subjects received either placebo, 2mg or 10mg naloxone hydrochloride in a randomized double-blind crossover fashion prior to the exercise test. Rectal temperatures were …

Impact of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or selenium (Se) supplementation on oxidative stress and antioxidant status in active females.
… training has been shown to increase antioxidant capacity; it is through adaptation that increased antioxidant capacity may alleviate oxidative stress. Objectives: The present investigation is designed to test the hypothesis that Se supplementation and / or regular High Intensity Interval Training …

Determining the Termination Percentage of Heart Rate Maximum for Submaximal Testing
… (1991). the protocol for the ACSM's submaximal bike test was to terminate the test at 65-70% of the age predicted maximal heart rate. In the Fifth Edition, this was changed to 85% of the age-predicted maximal heart rate.</p> <p>OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to find out, by …

The impact of ageing and exercise training on cardiac structure and function in healthy females
… comes a significant reduction in functional capacity, cardiovascular function, increased cardiovascular disease risk and thus increasing health care costs. Exercise interventions in the elderly may prove to be a valuable tool in coping with an ageing population. It was, therefore, the purpose …

Exercise as medicine : reversing treatment toxicities in prostate cancer patients
… Study 1 examined the feasibility and safety of a maximal treadmill exercise test in ADT treated prostate cancer patients as this was a key assessment of physiological response to the exercise intervention. One hundred and twelve prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT took part in a physician …

The adaptive response of humans to exercise: Impact of exercise intensity, fibre-type specific responses and molecular patterns of response
… the impact of training intensity and mode on aerobic capacity and performance, fibre-type specific adaptations to training, and individual patterns of response across molecular, morphological and genetic factors. Project #1 determined that training intensity, session dose, baseline VO2max and …

Validity and reliability of a unique aerobic field test for estimating VO 2 max among basketball players and the differences by gender, ages and relative age effect
… for a single sprint, and a contribution of the aerobic system is of less than 10%. Recovery periods in basketball, as a rule, are not long enough to fill the gap for such high intensity activities. It is hard to achieve the same level of performance consistently over time in repeated sprints. …
