External Workloads Vary By Position And Game Result In Us-Based Professional Soccer Players, Gary M. Long, Sam M. Joyce, Robert T. Herrington, Kyle B. Fox, Jack E. Mumaugh
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(6): 688-699, 2023. Professional soccer is a physically demanding sport that requires players to be highly trained. Advances using GPS allow the tracking of external workloads for individual players in practice and competition, however, there is a lack of evidence on how these measures impact match results. Therefore, we analyzed external workloads by player position and determined if they vary depending on the result of competitive matches. External workloads were analyzed in professional soccer players (n = 25) across 28 competitive games. One-way ANOVA determined if workloads varied by position (striker – ST, wide …

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 …

Western Kentucky University Stormwater Utility Survey 2023, Warren Campbell, Emily G. Davis
SEAS Faculty Publications
The main goal of this survey is to identify as many U.S. Stormwater Utilities (SWUs) as possible. Because many stormwater professionals do not have the time to respond to questionnaires, our primary method of identification was Internet searches. We searched key terms such as “stormwater utility”, “stormwater fee”, and “drainage fee”. We scoured online municipal codes such as Municode, AmLegal, Sterling, LexisNexis, General Code, and others. We searched through many city web websitesing to find utilities. We have also had many people contact me to update fees and identify new utilities. However, the data primarily comes from Internet sources and …

Heart Rate Response And Locomotor Activity Of Female Skateboarders, Bipoc Skateboarders, And Non-Skateboard Users During A Typical Session At A Community Skatepark, Jeff A. Nessler, Alivia L. Lundquist, Natalie Casas Jimenez, Sean C. Newcomer
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(7): 599-612, 2023. Prior research has demonstrated that male adults and youth engaged in skateboarding at community skateparks achieve heart rates that meet or exceed recommendations for exercise by the CDC. However, these studies do not adequately evaluate other non-traditional or ethnically diverse users who may differ in how they utilize the skatepark and in their cardiovascular response. The purpose of this experiment was to measure heart rate response and locomotor movement in three lesser studied groups that frequently utilize community skateparks, and to compare these results with those reported previously in male adult and …

Comparison Of A Ramp Cycle Ergometer And A Staged Assault Fitness Assaultbike Protocol For The Assessment Of Vo2max, Regis C. Pearson, Sara A. Garcia, Nathan T. Jenkins
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(4): 613-619, 2023. We propose a new VO2max test using a progressive staged protocol on an Assault Fitness AssaultBike. Twelve healthy males performed a traditional ramp cycle ergometer test (TRAD) and a progressively staged AssaultBike protocol (AB) in a counterbalanced order. AB elicited higher immediate post-exercise lactate, absolute and relative VO2max, and maximum heart rate than TRAD (P = 0.006, P = 0.014, P = 0.007, and P = 0.001, respectively). The protocol outlined herein may provide a more accurate assessment of VO2max due to greater skeletal muscle mass recruitment that is more representative …
