Concurrent Heart Rate And Energy Expenditure Validity Of Polar Verity Sense Devices During Light And Moderate Intensity Resistance Training In Recreationally Active Adults: A Pilot Study, Collin Dawson, Spencer Maxwell, Olivia Perez, Setareh (Star) Zarei, Devin Green, Bethany Hoag, Michael Wong, Dustin Davis, Jeffrey C. Cowley, Merrill Funk, James W. Navalta Facsm, Marcus M. Lawrence
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Wearable technology is again the top fitness trend from ACSM for 2024. Our lab recently found that bicep-worn devices (Polar Verity Sense) are valid for measuring average/maximal heart rate (HR) but are not valid for estimating energy expenditure (EE) during acute resistance exercise training (RT). We postulated that the errors may have been due to the device’s algorithms assuming higher intensity during RT, but no study has directly tested these outcomes with various RT intensities. PURPOSE: To determine the concurrent validity of identical Polar Verity Sense bicep-devices to record valid measures of average and maximal HR as well as estimated …

Yoga is one of the few activities that directly strengthens muscles involved in balance and coordination. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to analyze how postural stability differs between female yoga athletes and a control group for single-leg dynamic movements by exacerbating balance parameters between participant groups using a fatigue protocol. METHODS: After a brief warm up, eight female participants performed a modified Wingate test procedure on the stationary ergometer to simulate fatigue, followed by a transition pose to Warrior III for 10 seconds. A modified enhanced Helen Hayes marker set consisting of 32-retroreflective markers was placed …

Functional Recovery In Volumetric Muscle Loss After Receiving A Minced Muscle Transplant, Zachary Rasmussen, Jake Sorensen Facsm
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) refers to the traumatic or surgical loss of a substantial portion of skeletal muscle, which lacks the ability to regenerate naturally, leading to chronic functional deficits. Current therapeutic interventions have shown limited success in restoring both muscle structure and function, highlighting the need for novel regenerative approaches. Purpose: This study aimed to enhance muscle regeneration and functional recovery following VML injury through the use of a minced muscle transplant (MMT), designed to restore the structural and cellular components lost during the injury. Methods: Eight rats received a full-thickness, 6 mm VML injury in the left tibialis …

Much of the literature on marathon pacing is based on flat courses often neglecting the impact of terrain. Runners are often advised to run an even effort throughout a marathon, but it is difficult to establish optimal paces for a hilly race like the Boston Marathon. PURPOSE: This study created a model for effectively pacing the Boston Marathon intending to optimize individual performance. METHODS: 121 runners (72 female, 49 male qualifiers, ages 18-30) entered in the 2023 Boston Marathon participated. Finish times and split times were taken from the official Boston Marathon website, with entry times collected via …

Occupational heat exposure increases sweat production, which can potentially lead to dehydration. A previous pilot study observation during a regular summer workday suggested that construction workers arrive at the worksite in a dehydrated state but do not experience further dehydration during their shift. This finding raises questions about whether these observations can be replicated in a larger cohort and whether hydration status declines progressively throughout the workweek. PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a work shift on the hydration status of construction workers in the summer. A secondary purpose was to compare …

Patellar tendinopathy is a frequent overuse injury among collegiate athletes, especially in football players, due to the intense strain on the patellar tendon. Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is an effective way to analyze blood flow (BF) within the tendon and correlates to patellar tendinopathy and pain. A healthy and normal tendon should have a score of 0 on the Arias scale. PURPOSE: This study aims to determine the number of players with increased BF and to determine if the BF at origin and insertion of the patella tendon is influenced by time on team or by position category (big: OL/DL, …

Exercise Acutely Modulates Mitochondrial Function In Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells, Morgan K. Daniel, Clover Crenshaw, Antonio Ballardo, Kayla Kumagai, Robert Musci
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Exercise trained individuals have greater immune system function, which may be attributed to enhanced peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) function. Exercise training is a potent stimulator of mitochondrial adaptation, which may explain improvements in immune system function. However, the mechanisms by which exercise acutely modulates PBMCs to lead toward beneficial adaptations remain unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this pilot was to test the hypothesis that exercise acutely modulates PBMC mitochondrial function. METHODS: Ten participants (eight males, two females, 22.81 ± 4.49 years) had blood drawn prior to a bout of exercise that included a graded exercise test (VO2max: …
