Chronotypical And Habitual Exercise Timing Effects On Physical Activity And Sleep Quality, Elias M. Malek, Michael Dial, Graham Mcginnis 8954626
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
An individual's circadian rhythm and chronotype, or circadian preference, influence physical activity (PA) and sleep patterns during the 24-hour period, with people who prefer later exercise exhibiting poorer sleep patterns and reduced physical activity (PA) levels. Previous work comparing exercise timing’s relationship with chronotype examined single bouts of exercise, indicating the need to examine habitual exercise trends on a longer-term basis. PURPOSE: To analyze the interaction between chronotype and long-term exercise timing preference on physical activity and sleep quality. METHODS: Data were analyzed retrospectively from an open-source data set collected by Cunningham et al. from 05/2020 – 11/2021. Chronotype was …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Homocysteine (HCY) is a clinically implicated in inflammation and cardiovascular impairments. Although both betaine supplementation and acute resistance (both high-load [HL] and low-load blood flow restriction [LL-BFR]) training notably attenuate HCY concentrations, it is hitherto unknown if these independent modalities synergistically interact. PURPOSE: to determine whether a combination of betaine supplementation, as well as acute HL and/or LL-BFR training can attenuate post-exercise HCY more effectively than either isolated modality. METHODS: Eighteen recreationally trained males (25±5y) were randomized in double-blind fashion to supplement 6g/day of either betaine anhydrous (BET) or identically dosed cellulose placebo for 14-days.

The Role Of Gut Health In Parkinson’S Disease: The Impact On Motor Symptoms And Fitness Levels, Kaylie Zapanta, E Todd Schroeder, Beth E. Fisher
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
While Parkinson’s disease (PD) has traditionally been considered a central nervous system disease, recent groundbreaking research argues that PD symptomology is influenced by gut microbiota alterations (dysbiosis).1 People with PD suffer from dysbiosis,2-6 and gut symptoms characteristic of dysbiosis, like constipation.7,8 Given this evidence, strategies that improve gut health in PD are warranted. One possible strategy is exercise. In non-PD populations, fitness status is linked to gut health,9-13 and exercise which increases fitness status improves the gut.14-19 It is now known that exercise improves motor symptoms in PD,20-23 but the gut may be a …

Impact Of Mask Wearing On Post-Exercise Hemodynamics, Payton J. Price, Zachary Zeigler, Luke Heikka, Adarius West, Sofia Harman, Anthony Acevedo
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
As the guidelines regarding COVID-19 regressed, many fitness centers established regulations requiring mask-wearing during exercise. Data suggest that the impact of a mask during exercise has minimal effects on exercise hemodynamics. The post-exercise period has been described as a window of opportunity to lower blood pressure, a phenomenon called post-exercise hypotension. The impact of wearing a mask on post-exercise hemodynamics is unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of mask-wearing during exercise on post-exercise hemodynamics. METHODS: Nine total participants aged 18-30 yr were recruited for this experimental cross-over study. This within-subject design involved …

Mood Responses To Various Exercise Types Using The Ontological Definitions Of Exercise, Nathalie Barrios, Sucharitha Dodamgodage, Olaoluwa Ogunleye, Madushi Wickramasinghe, Sumona Mondal, Andreas Stamatis, Ali Boolani
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Recently, a new ontological way of exploring sport and physical activity (PA) has been proposed: the type of PA performed is classified using the four ontological dimensions. This phenomenon has classified PA as individual (I-me), encounter (I-You), team (I-Society), and nature (I-Nature). There has only been one study that has examined how participating in these various types of PA influences moods; however, that study asked individuals to recall what types of PA were performed and how they felt more than 60 days before the commencement of the study. PURPOSE: To identify whether daily moods differ based on the four …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Educational-based psychological skills training (PST) is effective in terms of Positive Psychology outcomes. Mental toughness (MT), a Positive Psychology construct, is positively associated with sports performance via mostly correlational research. Sports training emphasizes working on the weaknesses of the athlete. Positive Psychology is rooted in strength-based interventions. In Applied Sports Positive Psychology, where females are underrepresented, the two approaches appear contradictory. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of deficit- versus strength-based interventions on MT levels of female collegiate athletes. METHODS: Out of 161 female SUNY Plattsburgh athletes, 95 participated. MT scores were collected via the eight-item, Mental Toughness Index …

Grit Had A Positive Impact On Moderate-To-High Intensity Physical Activity During The Covid-19 Health Crisis, Kyle Pellerin, Thomas Parrillo, Grant Morgan, Joel Martin, Shane V. Caswell, Nelson Cortes, Ali Boolani, Andreas Stamatis
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Recently, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) has attracted additional scientific interest (e.g., ACSM recommendations) not only thanks to a) the physical and psychological benefits that can be experienced by the general population following just a single bout, but also b) since high levels of MVPA seem to mitigate the mortality risk associated with high levels of sedentary behavior, such as sitting. Non-pharmaceutical interventions against the COVID-19 (e.g., stay-at-home orders) have altered people’s lifestyles (e.g., physical activity, sitting time). Grit, a higher-order personality trait based on two lower-order components (i.e., perseverance and consistency), is highly predictive of both success and performance. …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Power training affects gait patterns. Power training also affects basketball performance. The Efficiency index (EFF) is the most used in-season basketball performance metric in the US. Strength and conditioning coaches measure power output via specific jumping tests. Could the pre-season relationship between power and gait provide additional information in foreseeing performance before the basketball season starts? PURPOSE: To a) confirm that pre-season standing broad jump (SBJ) scores correlate with post-season EFF and b) explore if pre-season SBJ scores and pre-season gait metrics (Jumping Point Gap Broad Jump, Stride, and Speed) are correlated. METHODS: Participants (n=17) were recruited from …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Cancer cachexia is characterized by progressive muscle wasting that can lead to symptoms such as anemia, severe weight loss, and fatigue. These symptoms can lead to limitations in activities of daily living and can cause resistance to chemotherapy treatments in cancer patients. There are no current treatments available to treat cancer cachexia and a critical need remains to identify mechanisms of cancer cachexia. Recently, our group identified mitochondrial disfunction precedes muscle atrophy in males but not females in a model of lung cancer induced atrophy. However, it is unknown whether this finding is replicated when studying a different type of …
