Local Skin Temperature And Local Sweat Rate, Gary W. Mack, Jim D. Cotter
Local Skin Temperature And Local Sweat Rate, Gary W. Mack, Jim D. Cotter
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Local skin temperature may be a modulator of sweat gland function but the mechanism is unclear. PURPOSE: To examine the role of local skin temperature in modulating local sweating rate (LSR) using a model of sweat gland activation that produces a moderate, physiologically based sweating response. METHODS: Each subject (n=15) was instrumented with 7 skin temperature probes ( skin), an esophageal probe (Tcore), and a sweat rate capsule (dorsal forearm). A LSR was produced by 30 s of intradermal electrical stimulation (5 mA, 0.2 to 64 Hz) that resulted in release of ACh from the …
Effect Of Moderate Intensity Cycle Ergometer Exercise In Normoxia And Hypobaric Hypoxia On Markers Related To Autophagy – A Pilot Study, Quint N. Berkemeier, Zachary Mckenna, Zachary Fennel, Roberto Nava, Christine Mermier, Ann L. Gibson
Effect Of Moderate Intensity Cycle Ergometer Exercise In Normoxia And Hypobaric Hypoxia On Markers Related To Autophagy – A Pilot Study, Quint N. Berkemeier, Zachary Mckenna, Zachary Fennel, Roberto Nava, Christine Mermier, Ann L. Gibson
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Autophagy is a process by which damaged and dysfunctional cellular components are transported to and decomposed in the lysosome, which is integral for maintenance of healthy cellular function and homeostasis. Among many health benefits, exercise is shown to catalyze autophagy. However, limited research exists on the effect of high-altitude exercise (>2500m) on autophagy in humans. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of exercise in hypoxia (HYP) on autophagic markers compared to intensity-matched exercise in normoxia (NORM). METHODS: 8 healthy and active males (23.3 ± 2.4 yrs, 75.2 ± 10.7 kg, 49.6 ± 6.5 ml/kg/min) completed 1hr of moderate intensity cycling …
Determining The Attitudes & Use Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine (Cam) Among Collegiate Athletes, Baylee C. Rejcek, Andrea L. Green, Megan B. Haynes
Determining The Attitudes & Use Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine (Cam) Among Collegiate Athletes, Baylee C. Rejcek, Andrea L. Green, Megan B. Haynes
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
There are many different approaches to medicine, so it is necessary to expand current knowledge on what patients and clinicians are using. Efforts to expand complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) research will enhance clinicians’ perspectives by not only creating an interest in becoming educated on the topic, but also by challenging negative perspectives to become more unbiased. Clinicians should educate themselves and patients in a way that is non-discriminatory. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to gain insight on what medicinal practices collegiate-level athletes are utilizing in effort to heal themselves, whether that be physically, mentally, or spiritually. METHODS: …
Intermittent Hypoxia Increases Erythropoietin Levels In Healthy Individuals, Frank Wojan, Sten Stray-Gundersen, Mercedes J. Nagel, Sophie Lalande
Intermittent Hypoxia Increases Erythropoietin Levels In Healthy Individuals, Frank Wojan, Sten Stray-Gundersen, Mercedes J. Nagel, Sophie Lalande
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Few minutes of hypoxic exposure stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, resulting in erythropoietin (EPO) gene transcription and production. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to identify the shortest intermittent hypoxia protocol necessary to increase serum EPO levels in healthy individuals. We hypothesized that two separate intermittent hypoxia protocols would significantly increase EPO levels in healthy individuals. METHODS: A total of seven individuals (4 women and 3 men, age: 28±7 years, height: 177±9 cm, weight: 79.7±18.4 kg) participated in the study. In Experiment 1, the spontaneous EPO changes under normoxia (NORM) and the EPO response to five 4-minute cycles of …
