International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

CrossFit athletes are frequently subjected to high-intensity training sessions that demand commensurately robust muscular and cardiovascular endurance capacities. Despite the propensity of research investigating the role of aerobically-associated ergogenic aids, few have elucidated their combination in highly trained athletic populations. PURPOSE: to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a novel supplement comprising several empirically-supported ingredients and their potential ability to impact the aerobic performance in experienced CrossFit athletes. METHODS: Six experienced CrossFit athletes (3M/3F; aged 41±13y; training 5±1 times/week) ingested 2.0mL daily of a novel supplement proprietary formulation (Flow, Cerus, Vero Bleach, FL) containing Beetroot (Beta Vulgaris), Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera), Arjuna …


Water Treadmill Versus Land Treadmill Training Effects On Leg Strength And Cardiovascular Endurance, Michelle E. Hudson Ms. Jan 2015

Water Treadmill Versus Land Treadmill Training Effects On Leg Strength And Cardiovascular Endurance, Michelle E. Hudson Ms.

Underwater treadmill running can be used as a means of reducing musculoskeletal loading while maintaining a training intensity equal to that of land running. A variety of cardiovascular benefits are seen in water running, such as greater increases in stroke volume and cardiac output than on land. Additionally, increased drag while water running can significantly improve force production. PURPOSE: To investigate if differences exist between underwater treadmill and land treadmill running on leg strength and cardiovascular endurance through a case study of two 22 year old sedentary males. METHODS: An 8-week aerobic training program was designed incorporating water …
