Winter Warfare Training (WWT) is a critical component of military training to prepare individuals to move effectively in harsh conditions. Moving through snow and heavy terrain increases overall stress to the entire human system. PURPOSE: The purpose of this effort was to quantify the stress response during WWT to determine the level of physiological adaptation to extreme environments. METHODS: Mountain and mobility operators (age: 31.5±1.4 years; height: 71.1±0.5 inches; weight: 192.5±6.6 lbs.; body fat percentage: 18.0±5.0%) were recruited for this effort. Participants engaged in baseline laboratory metrics at their home station located in Colorado (CO) prior to WWT for one …

Ingestible Oxygen Supplementation Does Not Impact Maximal Aerobic Performance Measures, Julie E. Taylor, Allison Rowley, Jocelyn Graffius, David Pearce, Kjerstin Woodrum, Tyler Lebaron

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Oxygen supplementation has been used to improve physical performances for decades, most commonly in the form of bottled oxygen. Other forms of inhalable and/or ingestible oxygen have been investigated more recently with mixed results. An ingestible oxygen supplement (Ox66_TM) consisting of oxygen molecules contained within an aluminum ion clathrate structure has been shown to increase SaO₂ at rest and reduce inflammation in clinical settings. This ingestible oxygen enters through the portal vein rather than the pulmonary system. It is unclear whether this oxygen supplement would have an impact on factors related to maximal aerobic capacity (VO_{2 …}

Fluid Intake And Hydration Responses To Mass Participation Gravel Cycling, Brandon Raik, Francis Salmon, Grace Handler, Matthew M. Schubert

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Gravel cycling is a relatively new cycling discipline, with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) hosting their first UCI Gravel World Championships in 2022. Gravel races combine features of road racing, cyclocross, and mountain biking, including various terrain of varying technical difficulty (paved roads, dirt roads, fire roads, single- and double-track trails), long distances, substantial vertical elevation gain, obstacles, and limited opportunities to stop for in-race nutrition. PURPOSE: To date, gravel racing has not been scientifically examined to determine the demands of the sport. Data from cycling road races indicate substantial fluid loss, which may impair exercise performance. This study assessed …

Impact Of Submaximal Versus Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training On Blood Glucose Regulation In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Jennifer A. Weil, Daryl Lee Parker

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an efficient form of exercise that can potentially induce significant and clinically meaningful blood glucose improvements in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is unknown whether certain HIIT interval intensities may be more effective than others in combating hyperglycemia in T2DM. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if submaximal or supramaximal HIIT reduces blood glucose or improves markers of insulin resistance more than the other in T2DM patients using a systematic review and meta-analytical approach. METHODS: Three databases (Embase/MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and PubMed) were systematically searched in July 2021 …

Running Biomechanics And Knee Cartilage Health In Aclr Patients, Jacob K. Palmer, Hyunwook Lee, Minsub Oh, Seunguk Han, Steven P. Allen, Garritt L. Page, Dustin A. Bruening, Robert D. Hyldahl, J. Ty Hopkins, Matthew K. Seeley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients are more likely to subsequently suffer from knee osteoarthritis than non-ACLR counterparts. Exercise is thought to influence articular cartilage, however, it is unclear how running biomechanics are associated with femoral cartilage thickness and composition in ACLR patients. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between running biomechanics and measures of femoral articular cartilage condition (thickness and composition) in ACLR patients and control subjects. METHODS: We used ultrasound and MRI (T2 mapping sequence) to measure articular cartilage thickness and composition, respectively, for 20 ACLR patients (age: 23 ± 3 yrs; …

Effects Of A 16-Week Home-Based Strength Training Randomized Controlled Trial On Depression In Obese Latino Adolescent Boys, Emilio Rodriguez, Rakaihya Thomas, Jonathan Hernandez Aguilar, Melanie Panosian, Alexandra Knipprath, Allan Knox, Louise A. Kelly

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

While the data has shown that the overall prevalence of depression is 6% in adolescents, these statistics are primarily based on white children. Latino children are more likely to suffer anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders compared to their non-Latino peers. While incidents are higher in Latino kids (22% suffer from depression), few receive treatment when compared to white children (8% vs 14% respectively). Given the prevailing burden and impact of mental health disorders in youth, it is essential that effective interventions are identified and implemented. PURPOSE: To assess the effects of a 16-week (2x/week) home-based strength training …

Local Sweating Response To Varying Intradermal Electrical Stimulation Patterns, Gary W. Mack

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The local sweat rate response (LSR) to intradermal electrical stimulation generates a sigmodal stimulus-response curve with a peak sweat rate generated by a 30 s period of continuous stimuli at a frequency of 8-16 Hz. The firing pattern of the sudomotor nerve driving sweat gland function in vivo, however, display a bursting firing pattern. Purpose: To compare the LSR to a 30 s continuous intradermal electrical stimulation frequency to a 30 s bursting pattern with a similar total number of stimuli. We hypothesize that there would be no difference in the LSR response between the two stimuli patterns. Methods: Subjects …

Cultural Normalization Of Risk?: Exploring Brain Injury In The National Football League Using Sociocultural Analysis, Ali V. Willing, Jafra D. Thomas

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The NFL's history includes the organization's fight against numerous lawsuits alleging excessive risk of brain injury to current and former players. A billion-dollar legal settlement by the NFL in 2022 illustrates the issue's gravity. PURPOSE: We aimed to understand why, culturally, the NFL has 'failed' to avert serious harm alleged by the lawsuits, given the lawsuits' magnitude and the known brain-injury risks of playing tackle football. METHODS: The NFL's rhetoric towards safety concerns and recommendations for injury prevention were examined vis-a-vis qualitative analysis of its organizational and media practices. This study was through one undergraduate end-of-term project focused …

Reducing Test-Taking Anxiety In Transitional Associate Degree Nursing Students, Diane L. Hare

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Test-taking anxiety causes physical, emotional, and psychological harm that can influence the results of the test takers' performance on an examination (Fletcher, 2022). Reducing test anxiety in nursing students can increase the number of students achieving success in nursing programs, therefore increasing the number of nurses entering the workforce. The United States estimates there will be a shortage of 12.9 million nurses by 2035 (Tamata & Mohammadnezhad, 2022). The aim of the quality improvement project was to reduce test-taking anxiety in nursing students with relaxation techniques. A convenience sample of forty-six students was chosen. The students attended three educational sessions …
