IntroductionAnaerobically our bodies generate energy using two different energy systems. The first energy system uses adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate. It supplies energy for no more than 6-8 seconds. Activities like jumping and running for short periods of time utilize this energy system. The short-term anaerobic system also produces high-powered energy. However, it is a little more enduring and can provide energy for up to 90 seconds. Runners in the 400m event use this energy system. Motivation has consistently been used as a variable to study performance. Some studies have shown no effects of external motivation on anaerobic test performance …

Effects Of Temperature Change On Fluid Intake On Performance, Juanjose Tello
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION: Fluid intake during exercise is a very important aspect to both health and performance of an athlete. It is known that during exercise, an increase in exercise intensity causes an increase in HR, breathing rate, VO2(L/min), and other physiologic variables. The body must rid itself of heat that builds up due to the breakdown of energy providers such as glycogen, protein, fat, and blood glucose and muscle contraction. Body temperature is another variable that is affected by increase in exercise, but proper hydration helps aid the body in getting rid of excess heat and helps return the body to …

Cordyceps sinesis (Cs) is a Chinese herb extracted from a nontoxic mushroom. Research has shown that this herb increases in ventilation and exercise capacity. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of transportation and utilization of oxygen during incremental exercise. VO2max is expressed in both absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) and relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Research with Cs has shown to increase vasodilation, which increases the efficiency and rate of delivery of oxygen to the working tissues.

Anaerobic exercise is often defined as any short-duration exercise that is powered primarily by metabolic pathways that do not use oxygen. The Wingate test measures peak power and anaerobic capability. The main energy system powering anaerobic exercise is the ATP-PC system, however, during the Wingate test the glycolytic pathway also provides some of the energy. Pre-workout supplements are used as aids to increase tolerance and muscle contractility and provide a short burst of energy during physical activity.

Athletes have found a new way to train to get an edge over their competitors and that is to train in an environment where oxygen is lacking. With a lower supply of oxygen, the body produces the hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to create more red blood cells to form more hemoglobin. Hemoglobin are proteins inside red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues while bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs. When the athlete come back to normal elevation level, he or she usually holds an advantage over their competition due to their temporary elevated hemoglobin …

Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
NTRODUCTION: Kinesiology tape is an elastic cotton blend fabric strip with an adhesive backing. Many different manufacturers claim that their product reduces muscle fatigue and increases blood flow by lifting the skin up off of the underlying fascia and capillaries. This lifting creates a low-pressure are a beneath the skin, referred to as the decompressed skin. Skin that is not decompressed (skin around tape)is said to have a higher pressure, causing the fluids to move from the areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. This fluid dynamic is the basis for the claims that the tape increases blood …

Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION:Blood flow restriction training, has been utilized by individuals interested in inducing hypertrophic conditions without the use of heavy weight loads. The idea is to restrict venous return while still allowing arterial blood flow into the muscles being occluded. The metabolites built up would then cause an increase in anaerobic conditions producing lactic acid, fatiguing slow twitch fibers and utilizing fast twitch fibers. PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of blood flow restriction versus standard exercise for hypertrophy, strength, and endurance over a 6 week training period. METHODS: Three men (Age: 23 ±1yrs, Wt: 78.79 ±12.64kg, …
Effects Of Beta-Alanine & Recovery Methods On Lactate Levels & Anaerobic Capacity In Resistance-Trained Males, B Smilie
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION: Beta-Alanine, an ergogenic aid, is a nonessential amino acid that is naturally occurring in the human body that contributes to hydrogen buffering during high-intensity exercise (Hobson et al., 2012). High-intensity exercise causes an increase in the metabolite, lactate, or hydrogen ion concentration. This will then cause premature fatigue due to impaired contractile function. This buffering agent will be of use to athletes, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders looking to delay fatigue and increase performance. Active recovery was found to significantly reduce blood lactate concentration when compared to passive rest (Martin et al., 1998). PURPOSE: The purpose of this research study …
