The Effects Of High Intensity Interval Training, In Conjunction With Functional Training Equipment, On Vo2max And Peak Power In Recreationally Trained Individuals, Christopher Sataray, Vipa Bernhardt Feb 2016

The Effects Of High Intensity Interval Training, In Conjunction With Functional Training Equipment, On Vo2max And Peak Power In Recreationally Trained Individuals, Christopher Sataray, Vipa Bernhardt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a training style requiring maximal effort for a short duration of time followed by an even smaller period of minimal intensity exercise. High intensity interval training using functional training (HIIT-FT) equipment is an alternative mode of exercise than traditional workouts performed at a health club which is not only time saving, but also cost effective and can be performed without leaving home. It was hypothesized that a 6-week HIIT-FT exercise program would significantly increase maximal oxygen uptake and PP in recreationally active, college-aged adults compared to those who did not participate in this particular …

Antioxidants Attenuate The Exercise Induced Resetting Of The Arterial Baroreflex In Healthy Human Subjects: Implications For Exercise Induced Hypertension, Noah Jouett, Gilbert Moralez, Daniel W. White, Peter B. Raven Feb 2016

Antioxidants Attenuate The Exercise Induced Resetting Of The Arterial Baroreflex In Healthy Human Subjects: Implications For Exercise Induced Hypertension, Noah Jouett, Gilbert Moralez, Daniel W. White, Peter B. Raven

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Patients with Exercise-induced-Hypertension (EiHT) exhibit exaggerated increases in arterial pressure at the onset of exercise which may prevent EiHT patients from participating in exercise training programs. EiHT is thought to occur due to dysregulated resetting of the arterial baroreflex (ABR). Prior studies in animal models demonstrate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the brainstem scavenge the sympathoinhibitory function of central Nitric Oxide (NO) and, thereby enable ABR resetting of the operating point (OP) pressure and hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that a centrally and peripherally active antioxidant cocktail (CT; composed of Vitamin E and C with Co-Q10) will attenuate …
