Back Stress And Assistance Exercises In Extreme Weightlifting, Adam J. Beard
Back Stress And Assistance Exercises In Extreme Weightlifting, Adam J. Beard
Theses : Honours
The purpose or this study was to test the suitability or selected assistance exercises to strengthen the low back for the Olympic lilts in elite weightlifters. Four subjects were filmed by a five-camera Motion Analysis system operating at 120Hz. The subjects completed both or the Olympic lifts (Snatch and Clean) at a near one repetition maximum and four assistance exercises (Bent-over Row, Clean Pull Deadlift, Romanian Deadlift, and Good Morning) at an intensity typically performed at a routine training session. Peak moments, compressive and shear forces about the L5/S1 intervertebral joint were calculated via a top-down inverse dynamics model. Comparisons …
The Specificity And Sensitivity Of The Criteria Used To Measure Vo2max, Geoffrey D. Juranovich
The Specificity And Sensitivity Of The Criteria Used To Measure Vo2max, Geoffrey D. Juranovich
Theses : Honours
The use of V02MAX as a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness is widespread throughout the fields of exercise physiology, physiology and medicine. VO2MAX is described as the maximal rate of oxygen consumption during increasing exercise intensities and is defined by a plateau or levelling off of oxygen consumption (VO2). Taylor et al. (1955) derived the primary criterion for a levelling off (plateau) of VO2 at the end of an incremental exercise test to exhaustion to be a change in VO2 (ΔVO2) /kg/min during the final minute. This primary criterion has been widely accepted …
