Traditional treadmill training has been shown to moderately decrease exercise blood pressures but the degree to which aquatic running alters exercise blood pressures has not been fully investigated. PURPOSE: To compare the exercise blood pressure responses after land treadmill (LTM) training to an equivalent …

The handball is characterized by a variety of movements accomplished with intensity alternation. In this way, the knowledge about the predominant energy sources in the actions, with the intention of bringing more effectiveness to the structuring and the prescription of the training, becomes fundamental. Because of that, the objective of this study was to determine the physiological characteristics of female handball athletes. The sample was constituted of 20 female athletes, participants of the Associação Atlética Universitária de Concórdia team - SC, in 2007. The maximum aerobic power (Bruce Protocol); maximum anaerobic power (Wingate Test) and lactate threshold were evaluated. The …

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is considered an important physiological parameter to determinate cardiorespiratory capacity and has been used to predict the performance in middle and long-distance running athletes. Also the ventilatory threshold speed (sVT) and respiratory compensation point speed (sRCP) are important tools to predict performance and for training prescription. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the changes in sVO2max, sVT, sRCP and running performance during the 2008 training season. Seven master runners (50.4 ± 8.4 years), six men and one woman, with more than five years experience running training were selected. The training period was divided …

Although VO2max is the index which represents maximum aerobic power, the corresponding exercise velocity (vVO2max) can be different in athletes with the same VO2max values. This study investigated associations between absolute (VO2pabs), relative (VO2pre) VO2peak, and vVO2max for aerobic performances determined in the field. Thirteen runners, aged 20.1±2.1 years, height 170±0.1 cm, and weight 66.0±3.7 kg participated from the 13th Armoured Infantry Battalion (Brazilian Army) based in Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil. Participants were submitted to an exhaustive progressive test in a treadmill with 12km.h-1 initial velocity, 3min stages, and 1 km.h-1 increments. Breath-by-breath gas samples were collected (Parvomedics – TrueOne, …
