The Effects Of Music On A Submaximal Exercise Performance, Ashley Gonzales, Sabrina Garcia
The Effects Of Music On A Submaximal Exercise Performance, Ashley Gonzales, Sabrina Garcia
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Individuals who work out several times a week often use music as a motivation or a distraction. However, will listening to music actually help the individual workout harder and longer or is it just a distraction affecting the intensity of the exercise. It has been suggested that music is more beneficial for longer distances and improves performance by “distracting” the individual who is exercising. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of music on a 30-minute submaximal exercise test on the cycle ergometer. METHODS: Five males (age 21.4 ±1.62 yrs) of the UTA Kinesiology department, …
The Effects Of Caffeine On Maximal Exercise, Amber D. Rey, Brenda Romero
The Effects Of Caffeine On Maximal Exercise, Amber D. Rey, Brenda Romero
Kinesiology Student Research
Caffeine is classified as an ergogenic and central nervous system stimulant. Research shows that there are benefits of consuming caffeine. These include increased mental alertness, decreased fatigue and increased delay to the onset of fatigue, decreased reaction time and increased use of muscle triglycerides. Research has also shown that ingesting caffeine prior to exercise significantly elevates plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol. It is known that the accumulation of FFA reduces the rate of glycolysis via the inhibition of phosphofructokinase. Therefore, ingestion of caffeine is expected to alter carbohydrate metabolism and the rate of lactate production.

Submaximal Exercise Capacity Between Beet Juice And Caffeine, Andrew Ballard
Kinesiology Student Research
Both caffeine and beet juice have been used by athletes and trainers around the world in order to help boost their energy levels and perform longer. Beet juice is used because it contains healthy and natural substances that are essential for the body. However, the main one that athletes are looking for in beet juice is nitrate, because it causes vasodilation in the blood vessels. Caffeine, on the other hand, is the most common substance used by athletes. It is used by athletes because it is an ergogenic aid, which is through to give athletes enhanced energy levels for improved …

Effects Of C4 On Maximum Testing During Bruce Protocol, Darshan Patel
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: The Bruce Protocol is a commonly used test for determining maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). The VO2maxvalue is a measure of an athlete’s aerobic endurance. VO2maxcan be reported in absolute terms (L/min) or it can be reported in relative terms (ml/kg/min). C4 is one of the most popular pre-workout supplements on the market. Research has showed that C4 can improve an athletes’ anaerobic power and endurance, but not much research has been done on how C4 can affect aerobic endurance. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects that C4 had on subjects during maximal exercise testing …

The Effects Of An Energy Drink Containing Caffeine On Maximal Exercise Performance, Kandice Reed
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Consuming energy drinks before exercising has become popular among young adults. Most people consume energy drinks to increase their exercise intensity and duration. Investigations have been performed to analyze the effects of the caffeine from various energy drinks on exercise performance. During maximal exercise performance, heart rate, Rate of Perceived Exertion, and systolic blood pressure increase linearly with exercise time and workload. Diastolic blood pressure generally, changes very little with increasing exercise intensity. PURPOSE: The purpose of this research study was to examine the effect that caffeine in an energy drink has on maximal exercise performance. METHODS: Five male, …

Does The Ingestion Of The Different Forms Of Gatorade Prime 01 Prior To Submaximal Exercise Affect The Distance Traveled?, Stacy Thomas
Kinesiology Student Research
Carbohydrates are ingested by athletes to provide energy before a workout routine. Gatorade has been available for many years and has developed different forms of carbohydrates for an athlete to consume. Research has often been used to show the effect of liquid carbohydrates but not often has the research been on the comparison of solid (S) to liquid (L) carbohydrate ingestion and its effect on performance. This study will examine not only the distance traveled, but the heart rate, blood pressure, and the rate of perceived exertion while ingesting different forms of Gatorade Prime 01. 8 male students were used …

Intensity Levels Of Men's Collegiate Basketball Players During Scrimmage., Meghan Humphrey
Kinesiology Student Research
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise. It is expressed either as an absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) or as a relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). The vector magnitude is the measurement of physical activity (accelerometer counts/min) which can provide a measure of movement during activity and is assessed with an accelerometer. Previous research has shown that maximal oxygen consumption and vector magnitude are both indicative of intensity level of physical activity.

The Supplement Beast Mode And Its Effect On Anaerobic Power, Isaac Majors
The Supplement Beast Mode And Its Effect On Anaerobic Power, Isaac Majors
Kinesiology Student Research
Anaerobic metabolism is the production of energy in the absence of oxygen and anaerobic power can be measured as either mean or peak power output in exercise that lasts thirty seconds or less. Power is force times velocity and it is measured in Watts. Research has shown that caffeine has a positive effect on sports performance and today many athletes use it as an ergogenic aid. Caffeine’s affect on maximal anaerobic power however are less understood.

The Effect Of Dynamic Stretching On Exercise Performance, Nkechi Offor
The Effect Of Dynamic Stretching On Exercise Performance, Nkechi Offor
Kinesiology Student Research
Dynamic stretching uses speed of movement, momentum and active muscular effort to bring about a stretch. It is similar to ballistic stretching except that it avoids bouncing motions and tends to incorporate more sports-specific movements. Researches show that dynamic stretching tends to have more advantages as compared to static stretching (stretching muscles while the body is at rest). Studies show that static stretching techniques do little to increase flexibility or reduce injury when performed before a workout; they also show that static stretches tend to have a detrimental effect on explosive movements and strength output as compared to dynamic stretching.

The Effects Of Caffeine On A Time-Trial Cycling Performance, Chris Tucker
Kinesiology Student Research
Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed drugs in the world. Its mechanism of action has given it credibility as an ergogenic aid. It has been shown to stimulate the mobilization and oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA), thus sparing muscle glycogen. Caffeine is also well documented as a central nervous stimulant and its direct effect on the central nervous system is found in its role as an adenosine antagonist. It is thought to inhibit adenosine from blocking neuronal transmission thus increasing pain tolerance and reducing fatigue.
