Comparing Calorie Expenditure and Rating of Perceived Exertion between the Curve and a Motorized Treadmill
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine if any difference in Calorie expenditure and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) exists when walking on the Curve or a motorized treadmill. Recruitment of participants was done through recruitment flyers placed on campus. After indicating interest, …

Comparative analysis of Karvonen and anaerobic threshold methods for prescribing exercise in healthy adult males
The purpose of this study was to compare the Karvonen and anaerobic threshold methods for prescribing the intensity component of physical activity exercise prescription in healthy adult males. A performance criterion was utilized to determine both the duration at which the subjects could maintain a …

The Effects of Self-Selected vs Researcher-Selected Music on Psychological, Physiological and Performance Outcomes During a Running Task
The present study examined the effects of self-selected versus researcher-selected music on psychological, physiological and performance variables during a treadmill running task. Male and female participants (n = 30) performed a 30-minute treadmill run to their own self-selected music, …

Modelling the additivity of perceived exertion in symmetric, mid-sagittal lifting
… were formulated to examine the additivity of perceived exertion in repetitive, symmetric, mid-sagittal lifting. "Additivity" has been defined as the means by which a whole-body rating of perceived exertion is composed of a weighted combination of component ratings of perceived exertion. The …

Effects of a heat acclimation program on physiologic and psychological responses to work and heat while wearing fire ensemble
… oxygen uptake (VO2), minute ventilation (VE), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), rating of thermal discomfort (RTD), sweat rate and Na+ and K+ were assessed daily. Significance (p < 0.05) was determined by one way repeated measures ANOVA. Average heart rate, and daily sweat Na+ and K+ …

Running Endurance in 27-hour Fasted Humans
… exercised to exhaustion to determine the effects of a 27-hour fast on endurance performance. Each subject completed two exercise tests at 72% peak oxygen uptake (Vo<sub>2</sub>max), one following a 27-hour fast and one three hours after a pre-exercise meal, in random order. Fasting caused a …

The effect of music therapy on mood, perceived exertion, and exercise adherence of patients participating in a rehabilitative upper extremity exercise program
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of music therapy on perceived exertion, mood and exercise adherence of patients participating in a group upper extremity exercise program. Twenty two patients ranging in age from 22 to 86 participated in a occupational therapy upper extremity …

Effects of an offloaded running versus active recovery on performance after an ultramarathon-race
… requires managing a complex interaction of positive training adaptations and negative effects such as exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Various active recovery interventions have been explored to speed up recovery from events such as ultra-marathon runs. This includes offloaded …

The regulation of exercise performance by a complex anticipatory system
… 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 time-trials in hot (35°C) and cool (15°C) conditions. The power output was reduced in the heat despite core …

Physiological Responses in OSA Patients to Ramping Exercise After CPAP Treatment
… sleep apnea (OSA). We examined the effects of CPAP therapy on physiological variables during a ramped exercise. The five male, OSA patients had mean values and standard deviations for RDI=60.7 +/- 19.1, BMI=29.9 +/- 2.9, and age=56 +/- 16.1 yr. Subjects were examined before and after 4 wk of …
