The Effects Of Bios Life And Exercise On Total Cholesterol, Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein, And High-Density Lipoproteins, Lori Jan Inderlied-Rucks
The Effects Of Bios Life And Exercise On Total Cholesterol, Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein, And High-Density Lipoproteins, Lori Jan Inderlied-Rucks
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The present study was designed to determine the effects of Bios Life, a non-prescription dietary fiber supplement, on serum lipoproteins and determine whether exercise accentuates this effect. Fifty male and female subjects (ages 30--60) participated in the study. Twenty-five subjects were exercising regularly in a supervised exercise program and the other twenty-five were sedentary. All participants where required to have a LDL-C of 130 mg/dl or higher and none were on any cholesterol lowering medications. Blood was drawn three times at baseline, before the study started, 45 days into the program and at 90 days which was the end of …
Selection Of Exercise Intensity Using Perceptual Cues During Television Distraction, Wendee Ellen Kukuwich
Selection Of Exercise Intensity Using Perceptual Cues During Television Distraction, Wendee Ellen Kukuwich
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The selection of exercise intensity during television distraction was studied in 20 highly-fit males (VO2peak: 63.2 +/- 10.7 ml·kg -1·min-1) between the ages of 28 and 45 years. It was hypothesized that the perception of exercise intensity during cardiovascular exercise would be influenced by an environmental distraction, such as watching television (TV). A within-subjects design was used to compare heart rate (HR), stride frequency (SF), and MET level responses recorded during 15 minutes of exercise performed with and without distraction. Seventeen of the 20 subjects had a change in HR of greater than 5 bpm between conditions, with 9 subjects …
Physiological Effects Of Progressive Relaxation In Trained Runners During Submaximal Treadmill Exercise, Thomas James Westendorf
Physiological Effects Of Progressive Relaxation In Trained Runners During Submaximal Treadmill Exercise, Thomas James Westendorf
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
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 week of training. In addition, the results of this study indicate that although there was a significant reduction in minute ventilation during exercise, VO 2 did not change. These results suggests that there was no carry-over effect while exercising, therefore one week of progressive relaxation may not be long enough or an effective technique to …
