Exercise blood pressures are lower after aquatic compared to land treadmill training

Alex T. Carradine¹, Brad S. Lambert¹, Nicolas P. Greene², Travis W. Constanzo¹, Steven E. Martin¹, Stephen F. Crouse (FACSM)¹. Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. ²University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.

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 …

Comparative Analysis Of Cardiopulmonary Responses Of Healthy Sedentary Men And Men After Acute Myocardial Infarction, Vandeni C. Kunz, Karina B. Serra, Erica N. Borges, Ana Cristina S. Rebelo

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The aim of this study was to assess the aerobic capacity of men after acute myocardial infarction (G-AMI) and of healthy sedentary men (G-C) at the anaerobic threshold (AT) and at the peak of the exercise (up to physical exhaustion) during a ramp-type ergospirometric test (R-ET). Methods: 22 volunteers divided into two groups: G-AMI (n=10), 55.6 ± 9.7 years old, undergoing β-blocking therapy (atenolol, dosage 46 ± 9.4 mg/day), Killip classification grade I, and G-C (n=12), 53.3 ± 3.2 years old. The G-C subjects took no type of medication. Experimental protocol: R-ET, with power increments of 10W/min for the G-AMI …

Effect Of Cadence To Determine Critical Power Using Non- Exhaustive Protocol In Cycle Ergometer, Wellington De Sousa Assis, Gustavo Gomes De Araujo, Ivan Gustavo Masselli Dos Reis, Álvaro Luis Pessoa De Farias

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

In cycling the exercise power (w) is a product of cadence (rpm) and kilopounds (kp). The purpose of this study was to check the pedaling frequency influence on critical power (CP) determined using non-exhaustive aerobic capacity test (Chassain, 1986). Adult men (n=2) were submitted to four powers (100, 120, 130 and 150 w) in two different cadences (40 and 70 rpm) in cycloergometer (Monark 894 E). Two exercise bouts lasting 180 seconds by 90 seconds of interval were performed at an equal intensity. For each intensity, delta heart rate (ΔHR) was determined by subtraction of the maximum heart rate (MHR) …

Competitive Modeling Of Heart Rate In Brazilian Juniors Soccer Players, Tiago Volpi Braz, Leandro Mateus Pagoto Spigolon, João Paulo Borin

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The heart rate (HR) has been used as indicator of competitive actions intensity in soccer players. The aim of this study was to analyze the competitive modeling of HR in eight brazilian juniors soccer players (18.84 ± 1.04 years; 71.19 ± 8.60Kg; 177.25 ± 6.04 cm) during a preparatory stage game. All were evaluated with Polar® heart rate monitor Team System model in five moments: warm-up (16min and 40s), recovery (8min and 15s), 1st half (48min), interval (7min and 45s), 2nd half (45min and 30s), and the heartbeats saved every 5 seconds. After collection, the data were kept in computational …

Physiological Monitoring Of The Cardiovascular System During A One-Rep Max Bench Press Using The Zephyr Bioharness, Kelly A. Brooks, Kyle T. Craven

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

While much is known about the muscular and neurological responses in the body during a one rep max (1RM) bench press test, there is little research regarding the cardiovascular response. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological response, specifically in the cardiopulmonary system, during 1RM testing in real-time using the Zephyr Bioharness. Thirty college undergraduates who were enrolled in beginning weight training for three months were asked to wear a BioHarness device during a 1RM bench test. Individual 1RM was found one week prior to test. Prior to testing, subjects followed a standardized warm-up and protocol to …
