Background: As a way to train at faster running speeds, add training volume, prevent injury, or rehabilitate after an injury, lower-body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPT) have become increasingly commonplace among athletes. However, there are conflicting evidence and a paucity of data describing the physiological and biomechanical responses to LBPPT running in highly trained or elite caliber runners at the running speeds they habitually train at, which are considerably faster than those of recreational runners. Furthermore, data is lacking regarding female runners’ responses to LBPPT running. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the physiological and biomechanical responses to LBPPT …

Current exercises recommended during pregnancy are prescribed at the same intensity as the general adult population, 3-6 METs. It is unclear whether these MET values can be applied to the pregnant population. Purpose: To determine energy expenditure of pregnant women while participating in three exercises (walking, stationary biking, and prenatal aerobics) during the second and third trimesters. And second, to determine whether the energy expenditure of the exercises would change from the second to third trimester. Methods: Participants were 3 women, ages 23-32, in their second trimester (weeks 14-26) of pregnancy at commencement of the study. Subjects reported to the …
