Cardiovascular Fitness of Horses Conditioned by Treadmill Work
… part study to examine the effects of submaximal treadmill conditioning on the cardiovascular response to a standard exercise test (SET). Parameters measured included heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume, packed cell volume, lactic and pyruvic acid concentrations, blood gases and blood pH. In …

Intelligent Treadmill Control and Holographic Rendering for Accessible Rehabilitation
… of the dissertation introduces an intelligent treadmill control system that enables a single-belt treadmill to function like a split-belt treadmill, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for post-stroke gait rehabilitation at home. This system integrates real-time gait classification …

Treadmill Assisted Circumvention of Wearable Sensors-based Gait Authentication
… that we used in the experiment was a digital treadmill, which provides a suitable platform for the human imitators to control, adjust and adapt several factors, such as speed, step-length, step-width, and thigh-lift that affect sensor readings. Moreover, it was easy for imitators to remember …

Kinematics of the equine axial skeleton during aqua-treadmill exercise
Equine aqua-treadmills are increasingly applied within the industry for rehabilitation from injury and training. Research into aqua-treadmill exercise has been increasing yet there are still opportunities to further quantify the effect of water depth on locomotion in order to optimise …

Blood Parameters of Horses Trained on a Treadmill (Diphosphoglycerate, Exercise)
Four experiments were conducted to establish the role of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) and other blood parameters in the oxygen pathway of resting and exercising horses throughout a conditioning program.

Physiological responses to running on a land and anti-gravity treadmill
… responses between running on a land treadmill and on an anti-gravity treadmill (AGT) during 30 min of exercise followed by a run to volitional fatigue. Participants (n = 12; age = 22.0 ± 4.3 years; height = 171.3 ± 6.4 cm; weight = 68.0 ± 13.0 kg) completed a familiarization session …

Affective and psychological responses to asynchronous music during submaximal treadmill running
… plus a no-music control during submaximal treadmill running. The dependent measures were heart rate, the Profile of Mood States-C (POMS-C: Terry, Keohane, & Lane, 1996) the Feeling Scale (FS: Rejeski, 1985) and Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE: Borg, 1982). Results indicated that the …

The Effect of a Skate Treadmill Training Intervention on Stride Mechanics
… to investigate the effect of a 12-session skate treadmill training intervention on stride mechanics in youth ice hockey players. The secondary purpose was to investigate the effect of removing the training stimulus on retention of stride mechanics adaptations as a result of training. Stride …

Effect of treadmill exercise on cutaneous wound healing in obese mice
… Previous research indicates that short-term treadmill exercise training can speed wound healing rate in aged mice. As aged mice have impairments in wound healing similar to those seen in obese mice, we hypothesized that a similar exercise paradigm might speed healing rate in a high-fat …

Physiological effects of progressive relaxation in trained runners during submaximal treadmill exercise
To determine the physiological effects of a one-week progressive relaxation protocol on exercise efficiency, five trained, male runners volunteered to participate in this study. The results of this study show that it is possible to reduce heart rate during progressive relaxation at rest, after one …

Comparison of heart rates between deep water running, treadmill running, and cycling
… swimmers, this study determined if the HR during treadmill running (TR), cycling, and DWR at 60% and 75% of MaxVO2 were different. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) between runners and swimmers during TR and DWR were also compared. Analysis of the data showed that runners, at both intensities, …

Virtual equivalence : matching visual scene and treadmill walking speeds in virtual reality
(cont.) The last experiment showed that individual subjects PER values changed over time intervals as short as ten minutes, and revealed the importance of the subject's prior experience in PER experiments. This suggests that limitations of working memory may effect the repeatability of the PER …

IMU-Integrated 'Smart' Knee Brace Validation Using Optoelectronic Motion Capture During Treadmill Walking
… for two sessions, during which three 2-minute treadmill walking trials were conducted each session. The ‘smart’ brace had moderate to excellent reliability in measuring axial plane range of motion, and sagittal and frontal plane knee angles, but had poor agreement when measuring sagittal plane …

Prediction of performance time on a treadmill stress test following a Bruce protocol
… data, could be developed to predict treadmill test time when following a Bruce protocol. One hundred and eight subjects completed the questionnaire and performed treadmill tests. A stepwise regression analysis was used to develop equations from the research parameters established on …

The Effects of Treadmill Exercise in the P301S Mouse Model of Tau Pathology
… dissertation project investigated the impact of treadmill exercise in a transgenic mouse model of neurodegenerative tauopathy. The central hypothesis was that endurance treadmill exercise would slow the development of neurodegenerative tau pathology and associated behavioral impairments in the …

A comparison of maximal oxygen uptake achieved from a horizontal and inclined treadmill test
The purpose of this study was to compare two protocols and the resulting VO2 max obtained. In one protocol grade only was used to impose greater workloads; in the other protocol speed only was used to impose greater workloads. In addition, maximum heart rate, perceived general fatigue, leg fatigue …
