Stabillity Ball Sitting Elevates Peak Arm Ergometry Oxygen Consumption And Heart Rate, Charles R.C Marks, Leah Dupuie, Jennifer Patros
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 5(4) : 360-366, 2012. This study compared sitting on a stability ball (B) to sitting on a chair (C) during arm ergometry to determine the impact on peak VO2, peak heart rate (HR), and exercise intensity prescription. Open-circuit spirometer, blood pressure, and HR were monitored during rest and continuous graded exercise test to exhaustion using an arm ergometer. Twenty-seven apparently healthy adults exercised twice, once at B and the other trial C (order randomized), with 60 minutes of rest between trials. ANOVA for repeated measures (a < 0.05) and paired t testing using Holm's-sequential Bonferroni were used …

Energy Drinks: Ergolytic Or Ergogenic?, Joe Sillivent, Jennifer Blevins-Mcnaughton, Kayla Peak
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 5(3) : 214-222, 2012. Despite the growing popularity of energy drinks, many do not realize the negative effects on the cardiovascular system. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of energy drink ingestion on estimated VO2max, heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP, respectively), rate pressure product (RPP), and RPE at rest and during exercise. Seven healthy adults (age: 24.3 ± 3.5 yrs; body mass: = 66.0 ± 2.2 kg) participated in this randomized double blind, crossover study. Subjects ingested a placebo (PL) or Redline (RL) energy …

The Impact Of Physiologic Reductions In Blood Pressure Upon Oxygen Uptake During Moderate Intensity Leg Cycling, Cory L. Butts, Paul Mcdonough, David Keller, Mitchel Samels, Davor Krnjajic
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
INTRODUCTION: Control of oxygen uptake (VO2) during the rest-to-exercise transition is thought to be dominated by intracellular processes rather than oxygen delivery. However, large changes in arterial pressure (i.e., supraphysiologic) have been shown to alter VO2 and its kinetics. Importantly, no studies have investigated the consequence of physiologic alterations in blood pressure on VO2 and its kinetics during exercise in humans. PURPOSE: The aim of this preliminary study was to assess the effect of modest reductions in MAP achieved via neck suction upon Vo2 across the rest-exercise transition, to test the hypothesis that physiologic reductions in arterial …

Traditional treadmill training has been shown to moderately decrease exercise blood pressures but the degree to which aquatic running alters exercise blood pressures has not been fully investigated. PURPOSE: To compare the exercise blood pressure responses after land treadmill (LTM) training to an equivalent …

We tested the hypothesis that a short-term increase in intraluminal pressure, to mimic a 1 h bout of exercise, would attenuate or reverse age-induced impairments in acetylcholine (ACh)-induced dilation in soleus muscle feed arteries (SFA). In addition, we hypothesized that …

Many health issues are associated with high blood pressure (e.g., arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis). Some suggestions to control high blood pressure include to adopt an active lifestyle (e.g., maintain physical activities a few times a week) and to pay attention to the daily diet (e.g., minimize salt intake). However, a few studies found that the systolic blood pressure of the participants dropped …
An Investigation Of Expired Gas Influence On The Shape Of The Heart Rate Response At Maximal Effort In Cyclists, Alissa Donaldson, Frank Wyatt, Lon Kilgore
An Investigation Of Expired Gas Influence On The Shape Of The Heart Rate Response At Maximal Effort In Cyclists, Alissa Donaldson, Frank Wyatt, Lon Kilgore
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
PURPOSE: To use mathematical examination to determine if expired gases, (i.e. VO2 and VCO2), influence neural response and affect the shape of the three phases of a heart rate (HR) response during a maximal, incremental cycling test. METHODS: Archived data from ten (10) well-trained cyclists (mean VO2 max 68.7 ml/kg/min) who performed VO2 maximal tests using the Australian Institute for Sport (AIS) protocol was used to calculate group mean HR, VO2 and VCO2 values for each phase of a test to volitional fatigue. A trend line of best fit was assigned to each …

Resistance training can reduce the effects of inflammatory diseases and contribute to skeletal muscle repair and regeneration. Cortisol functions to reduce inflammation in the body however, it can impair the immune system. Elevated levels of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM-1) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Chemical dependency is also associated with immune impairment. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to …
Stability Ball Sitting Versus Chair Sitting During Sub-Maximal Arm Ergometry, Charles R.C Marks, Kristina E. Hylland, Jacob Terrell
Stability Ball Sitting Versus Chair Sitting During Sub-Maximal Arm Ergometry, Charles R.C Marks, Kristina E. Hylland, Jacob Terrell
International Journal of Exercise Science
Purpose: It was predicted that sitting on a stability ball during arm ergometry would elevate cardiovascular parameters when compared to sitting on a chair and that this would be associated with greater recruitment of trunk and leg skeletal muscles. Methods: Open-circuit spirometry, video taping, blood pressure, heart rate, and EMG were conducted during rest and four minute stages of 15 W, 30 W, and 45 W using a Monark arm ergometer. Twenty-six apparently healthy adults exercised twice, once sitting on a stability ball and the other sitting on a chair (order randomized), with 45 to 60 minutes of rest between. …
