International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 15(4): 231-244, 2022. The present study investigated acute muscular performance and metabolic responses to resistance training (RT) with inter-set stretching (ISS). Seventeen resistance-trained men (age: 30.0 ± 5.6 years; body mass: 81.8 ± 13.4 kg; height: 173 ± 6.2 cm; RT experience: 4.6 ± 1.7 years) completed the ISS and traditional training (TT) protocol seven days apart in a randomized order. In both protocols, 7 sets of the seated cable fly exercise were performed with a 10-repetition maximum (10-RM) load. During the ISS protocol, subjects completed inter-set passive static stretching of the agonist muscles for …


A Submaximal Field Test Of Aerobic Capacity Does Not Accurately Reflect Vo2max In Career Firefighters, Davis Hale‡, Roger O. Kollock, Jacob Thomas, Gabriel J. Sanders, Will Peveler, Andrew Mangan, Blake Landon Jan 2022

A Submaximal Field Test Of Aerobic Capacity Does Not Accurately Reflect Vo2max In Career Firefighters, Davis Hale‡, Roger O. Kollock, Jacob Thomas, Gabriel J. Sanders, Will Peveler, Andrew Mangan, Blake Landon

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 15(4): 221-230, 2022. Adequate aerobic capacity is crucial to maintaining firefighter safety. The purpose of this study was to compare predicted VO2max scores from a submaximal and maximal step test. Eighteen career male firefighters from a medium sized urban municipality completed both a submaximal Forestry step test and a maximal laboratory WFI step test. A lack of association (p = .017) and low level of agreement (p = .015) was determined between step test protocols producing a mean bias of ± 5.61 mL.kg-1/min-1 with most scores being overestimated. Use of the Forestry …


Muscle Daily Undulating Periodization For Strength And Body Composition: The Proposal Of A New Model, Douglas Leão Peixoto, Bruno Magalhães De Castro, Anderson Geremias Macedo, Christiano Bertoldo Urtado, Paulo Soares Lima, Richard Leite, James W. Navalta, Jonato Prestes Jan 2022

Muscle Daily Undulating Periodization For Strength And Body Composition: The Proposal Of A New Model, Douglas Leão Peixoto, Bruno Magalhães De Castro, Anderson Geremias Macedo, Christiano Bertoldo Urtado, Paulo Soares Lima, Richard Leite, James W. Navalta, Jonato Prestes

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 15(4): 206-220, 2022. The traditional linear periodization model is designed for modifications to be performed over several weeks, whereas alterations in the undulating model are applied on a more frequent basis. The study investigated a novel periodization scheme, the muscle daily undulating periodization model (mDUP). Thirty-seven men were randomly assigned into 2 groups: (a) a group that performed 12 weeks of daily undulating periodization with fix overload (DUP-F) resistance training (n = 19) and (b) a group that performed 12-weeks of muscle daily undulating periodization with variation overload (mDUP) (n = 18). Body …


Analysis Of Total And Segmental Body Composition Relative To Fitness Performance Measures In Law Enforcement Recruits, Kyle S. Collins, Bryan Christensen, Robin Marc Orr, Joe Dulla, J. Jay Dawes, Robert G. Lockie Jan 2022

Analysis Of Total And Segmental Body Composition Relative To Fitness Performance Measures In Law Enforcement Recruits, Kyle S. Collins, Bryan Christensen, Robin Marc Orr, Joe Dulla, J. Jay Dawes, Robert G. Lockie

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 15(4): 245-260, 2022. Law enforcement agencies often test the fitness performance and body composition of incoming recruits. This study investigated the relationships between whole and segmental body composition, and fitness tests in law enforcement recruits. A retrospective analysis of 72 male and 11 female recruits was performed. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) variables were: lean mass (LM), upper-extremity lean mass (UELM), trunk LM, lower-extremity lean mass (LELM), fat mass (FM), upper-extremity fat mass (UEFM), trunk FM, and lower-extremity fat mass (LEFM). Fitness tests included: vertical jump (VJ), peak anaerobic power (PAPw), 75-yard pursuit run (75PR), push-ups, …


Fluid Restriction Dehydration Increase Core Temperature During Endurance Exercise Compared To Exercise Induced Dehydration, Jessica E. Sansone, Mary S. Guyer, Elizabeth M. Mullin, Brian Thompson Jan 2022

Fluid Restriction Dehydration Increase Core Temperature During Endurance Exercise Compared To Exercise Induced Dehydration, Jessica E. Sansone, Mary S. Guyer, Elizabeth M. Mullin, Brian Thompson

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 15(2): 166-176, 2022. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in heart rate and core temperature during aerobic exercise between two forms of dehydration: exercise-induced (EI) and fluid restricted (FR). Twenty-two subjects (N = 22; 83.35 ± 13.92 kg) completed the current study, performing a familiarization session, a pre-experimental exercise session, and two exercise testing sessions. The EI exercise trial (81.52 ± 13.72 kg) was conducted after performing exercise in a hot environment to lose three to four percent of body weight and partial rehydration. The FR exercise trial (81.53 ± 14.14 kg) …


The Effects Of A 2-Hour Surfing Session On The Hydration Status Of Male Recreational Surfers, Bryon O'Neill, Eric Leon, James Furness, Ben Schram, Kevin Kemp-Smith Jan 2022

The Effects Of A 2-Hour Surfing Session On The Hydration Status Of Male Recreational Surfers, Bryon O'Neill, Eric Leon, James Furness, Ben Schram, Kevin Kemp-Smith

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 14(6): 1388-1399, 2021. Surfing is a popular sport globally which is performed in varied environmental conditions. With limited research in the field exploring hydration, monitoring the effect of surfing on subject hydration is warranted. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between surfing intensity and hydration status. A total of ten recreational male surfers were recruited for this study where hydration status was assessed pre-and post-surf session by measures of body mass (BM) and urine specific gravity (USG). Intensity of the surf session was quantified by Global Positioning Systems and Heart Rate …
