Exercise Mobilizes Early And Late Differentiated Cd8 T Cells Expressing A Marker Of Exhaustion, Rebekah Hunt, Mahmoud Elzayat, Emily C. Lavoy
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
T cell differentiation occurs following activation of key functions, such as proliferation and cytokine production. Naïve (NA) and central memory (CM) T cells are early differentiated, whereas effector memory (EM) and RA+ effector memory cells (EMRA) are later differentiated. CD57 expression, a putative marker of exhaustion, has also been used to identify later differentiated cells, although recent data indicate CD57 can also be expressed by NA and CM. Exercise mobilizes EM and EMRA to a greater extent than NA and CM. Separately, exercise has been shown to preferentially mobilize CD57+ cells. Whether these exercise responsive CD57+ cells arise from highly …

Athlete Perceptions Of Flavored, Menthol-Enhanced Energy Gels Ingested Prior To Running In The Heat, Roxanne M. Vogel, Christopher J. Stevens, Christian Swann, Megan L. Ross
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Thermal perception during exercise is known to influence endurance performance and the onset of fatigue. L-menthol, an organic compound derived from peppermint, evokes a cooling sensation through its action on TRPM8 channels which also respond to cold stimuli. Recent work identified that the internal application of menthol-enhanced fluids can be ergogenic during exercise in the heat. Hence, the addition of menthol to energy gels may be practical and beneficial for athletes. PURPOSE: To determine athlete acceptability and preferences for flavored energy gels with different menthol concentrations. METHODS: With a randomized, crossover, and double-blind placebo-controlled design, 27 endurance athletes …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Training variation is an integral part of strength and conditioning programming as it stimulates recovery, various adaptations, enhances athletic performance outcomes, while avoiding overtraining. The structure of set and repetition prescription is often varied to achieve desired adaptive outcomes. Cluster-set (CL), or rest-pause set, training is a method utilized to change the traditional-set (TS) and repetition structure by interrupting the repetitions with a 10-30s rest interval. Results from previous reports describe CL training as optimal for increasing training volume, lift quality, and achieves similar hormonal responses when compared to TS training. However, no studies have examined differences in perceived exertion …
