The Effects Of Pre-Exercise Ice-Slurry Ingestion On Thermoregulation And Exercise Performance Of Highly Trained Athletes: A Scoping Review, Gopathi Pranita Ms., Keren Susan Cherian Keren.Cherian@Gmail.Com, Kommi Kalpana Dr
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(2): 1398-1412, 2023. Ice-slurry prepared from plain ice, crushed ice, or sports drink has been used as a cooling strategy before exercise to regulate body temperature and improve exercise performance. However, consensus regarding the benefit is unclear. Therefore, the present review aimed to study the effects of pre-exercise ice-slurry ingestion on thermoregulation and exercise performance of highly trained athletes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used. The data extraction was done using the search engine Google Scholar, and digital repositories such as Cochrane, Scopus, Medline, …
Body Mass Index But Not Physical Activity Level Moderates Lowered Cardiac Baroreflex Sensitivity In People Living With Hiv, Marcus Rangel, Juliana Barros, Deysiane Peres, Pedro Mira, Daniel Martinez, Mateus Laterza, Paulo Farinatti, Juliana Borges
Body Mass Index But Not Physical Activity Level Moderates Lowered Cardiac Baroreflex Sensitivity In People Living With Hiv, Marcus Rangel, Juliana Barros, Deysiane Peres, Pedro Mira, Daniel Martinez, Mateus Laterza, Paulo Farinatti, Juliana Borges
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(2): 700-709, 2023. Reduced cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) is an autonomic marker associated with a worse cardiovascular prognosis. Whether cBRS is lowered in people living with HIV (PLHIV) is yet unclear, as well as potential moderator effects of body mass index (BMI) or physical activity (PA) level. The present study aims to compare the spontaneous cBRS in PLHIV vs. HIV-uninfected controls, and to determine among PLHIV the relationship between cBRS vs. body mass index (BMI) and PA level. Total, upward (cBRS+), and downward (cBRS-) cBRS gains were assessed using the sequential method from beat-to-beat …
Effects Of A Head-Cooling Cap On 5-Km Running Performance In The Heat, Bernhard J. Spannagl, Mark Et Willems, Andrew T. West
Effects Of A Head-Cooling Cap On 5-Km Running Performance In The Heat, Bernhard J. Spannagl, Mark Et Willems, Andrew T. West
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(6): 193-204, 2023. Cooling the head region during exercise can enhance running performance, but this observation is limited to intermittent cooling. This study investigated the effects of continuous head cooling on 5-km running time-trial (TT) performance in hot conditions. Six male and four female triathletes completed two experimental sessions consisting of two 10-minute runs at 50% and 70% O2max followed by a 5-km TT in the heat (32.0±0.3 °C, 50.1±1.2% RH). In a randomized crossover design, either an ice-filled cooling cap or no cooling cap was provided prior to the 10-minute run at 70%O …
