Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise. It is expressed either as an absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) or as a relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). The blood glucose level is defined as the concentration of glucose in the blood, measured in milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood. Carbohydrate drinks are consumed before exercise because it is believed that it enhances performance by decreasing the rate of muscle glycogen stores, but those drinks …

Optimal Levels Of Creatine Monohydrtate Supplementation For Increases In Anaerobic Performance, Jan Eric Schneider
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
Creatine monohydrate is a commonly used supplement amongst athletes in the hopes to improve upon their athletic performance. The theory behind supplementing creatine monohydrate is to add to the body’s own creatine stores so that more is available to be used during high intensity exercise. Creatine is stored as creatine phosphate in skeletal muscles and is used during the initial onset of exercise for about 30 seconds while other fuel systems are increasing their contribution to energy production. Some studies have shown the creatine supplementation can be beneficial to anaerobic performance while other studies have shown no differences between supplement …

Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise. It is expressed either as an absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) or as a relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). The vector magnitude is the measurement of physical activity (accelerometer counts/min) which can provide a measure of movement during activity and is assessed with an accelerometer. Previous research has shown that maximal oxygen consumption and vector magnitude are both indicative of intensity level of physical activity.

Does Race Matter? The Role Of Race In The Blood Lactate Levels Of Sub-Elite Runners., Nicole Azuogu
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
Lactic Acid is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate undergoes fermentation instead of entering into the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which occurs during aerobic glycolysis. During fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to lactate. At about 50-70% of VO2max, there is a substantial increase in lactate accumulation, otherwise known as the Lactate threshold. At this work rate, energy is obtained from glycolysis. Glycolysis at high intensity exercise increases CO2 levels which in turn trigger an increase in ventilation and heart rate. This system is short lived and fatigue sets in quickly due to glycogen depletion, a decrease in …

Caffeine has been recognized for years as an ergogenic aid to exercise performance. Commonly found in energy drinks, sports gels and pre workout supplements caffeine is also a primary ingredient in one of American’s highly sought after quick fix__ diet aids. Not regulated by the FDA and commonly abused, diet pills fail to address what impact, if any, they may have on one’s exercise response that could compromise safety. With recent research finding exercise performance to be enhanced after ingestion of caffeine and appetite suppressant mixture as compared to either drug alone, this study sets out to investigate the effects …

Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) describes a phenomenon of muscle pain or soreness that frequently occurs as a result of strenuous physical activity. DOMS occurs especially during the first few days after such activity. Because DOMS results in functional loss and related activity restriction, prevention and treatment are both important factors to recreational and competitive athletes, and to anyone who participates in vigorous exercises and activities of daily living. Lactic acid and its accumulation was once thought to be a major cause of DOMS, however this is not the case. Research suggested that blood lactate returns to resting levels within one …

The Effects Of Bicycle Warm Up On Maximal Exercise Performance, Bruce Lamotte
The Effects Of Bicycle Warm Up On Maximal Exercise Performance, Bruce Lamotte
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
Warm up is widely used in athletic events. Warm up is primarily used to increase performance through increasing muscle and core temperature. The increase in muscle and core temperature is thought to increase blood flow throughout the body, and therefore increase oxygen delivery to the exercising muscles (Bishop et al, 2002). Warm up also acts to reduce muscle and joint stiffness, increase transmission rate of nerve impulses, and change the force velocity relationship (Bishop, 2003)
The Accuracy Of The Traditional Predicted Maximal Heart Rate And Related Equations, Melvin Ibana
The Accuracy Of The Traditional Predicted Maximal Heart Rate And Related Equations, Melvin Ibana
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
Most aerobic exercise programs are based on a percentage of an individual’s maximal heart or heart rate reserve, of which maximal heart rate is a component. Maximal heart rate is the highest heart rate achieved by an individual while working at their maximal intensity, usually to fatigue. Maximal heart rate is related to an individual’s age but is not completely dependent upon it. But there are risks that come with exercising maximally and some people do not want to put forth the effort; hence, prediction equations were created. Numerous equations for the prediction of maximal heart rate have been created, …

Effects Of Cooling And Heating Fans On Thermoregulation, David Cooley
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION: The human body must maintain a constant internal environment for optimal operation of cellular activity. This homeostatic balance is maintained at rest but becomes more of a challenge during exercise. An important internal regulatory mechanism is thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is defined as the ability of an organism to maintain a core body temperature within certain boundaries, even when internal and external temperatures are altered. The hypothalamus is responsible for keeping the body’s core temperature within a normal range, around 97 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit, at rest and during exercise. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects …

Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
1 in 3 older adults will experience a fall each year. Falls are the leading cause of accidental death in adults over 65 years, and are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma. Most falls occur during locomotion, and impaired gait and postural control have many implications that affect stability during walking. Dynamic posturography has been shown to be a good measure of postural stability, while measures of gait have been linked to age-related changes as well as discriminating between fallers and non-fallers
