Low Intensity Exercise Has Greater Acute Vascular Benefits For Reducing Arterial Stiffness In Hot Compared To Neutral Conditions, Kyleigh N. Allie, Julianna Kilpatrick, Paolo Salvador, Eric Rivas Feb 2019

Low Intensity Exercise Has Greater Acute Vascular Benefits For Reducing Arterial Stiffness In Hot Compared To Neutral Conditions, Kyleigh N. Allie, Julianna Kilpatrick, Paolo Salvador, Eric Rivas

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Both exercise and passive heating cause acute reductions in blood pressure. It is unknown if exercise-heat stress causes likewise reductions or greater when combined. PURPOSE: This project tested the hypothesis that the resting and exercise-heat stress cause hypotension and improvements in arterial stiffness. METHODS: Seven healthy active (7 day activity: 9887±3564 steps/day; VO2max: 52±10 mL/kg/min ) subjects (5M/2F, 24±9y, 171±6cm, 68±7kg) completed a 30 min baseline rest followed by 60 min at an exercise intensity of their choice that represented their perceived exertion (RPE) of 12 (between light and somewhat hard) on a 20-point rating scale while being blinded to …


A Wearable Garment To Mitigate Low Back Pain In Astronauts, Curtis Neeld, Miranda Moore, Alexis Quintana, Audra Romans, Arianne Scheller, Charles Swieczkowski, Nicholas A. Levine, Brandon R. Rigby Feb 2019

A Wearable Garment To Mitigate Low Back Pain In Astronauts, Curtis Neeld, Miranda Moore, Alexis Quintana, Audra Romans, Arianne Scheller, Charles Swieczkowski, Nicholas A. Levine, Brandon R. Rigby

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The microgravity environment of space is known to cause a wide array of adverse physiological effects on the bodies of astronauts. Among these effects, low back pain due to space adaptation is commonly reported by astronauts. In fact, this pain, caused primarily by atrophy of the erector spinae musculature, has the highest incidence rate among all musculoskeletal-related conditions reported by this population while in space. Low back pain and the consequences of other medical conditions may become magnified as the duration of missions increases over the next few decades. Therefore, determining methods of preventing and mitigating the deleterious effects of …


Skin Temperature And High Dew Point In Hot Environments Affects Self-Paced Exercise, Paolo Miguel Salvador, Julianna Kilpatrick, Kyleigh Allie, Eric Rivas Feb 2019

Skin Temperature And High Dew Point In Hot Environments Affects Self-Paced Exercise, Paolo Miguel Salvador, Julianna Kilpatrick, Kyleigh Allie, Eric Rivas

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Dew point (dp) is the absolute measure of water vapor and directly affects comfort whereas 5-10℃ feels dry; 10-15℃ feels comfortable and 20-24℃ feels uncomfortable. PURPOSE: This project tested the hypothesis that exercise in hot ambient conditions with a high dp (>20℃) would affect the selection of self-paced exercise compared to neutral dry conditions (dp). METHODS: Six healthy active (7 day activity: 9826±3900 steps/day; VO2max: 52±10 mL/kg/min ) subjects (4M/2F, 25±9y, 171±6cm, 69±7kg) completed a 30 min baseline rest then 60 min of exercise intensity they chose that represents their perceived exertion of 12 …
