Light Exercise Heart Rate On-Kinetics: A Comparison Of Data Fitted With Sigmoidal And Exponential Functions And The Impact Of Fitness And Exercise Intensity, Karl M. Trounson, Spencer Robert, Aaron Balloch Jun 2017

Light Exercise Heart Rate On-Kinetics: A Comparison Of Data Fitted With Sigmoidal And Exponential Functions And The Impact Of Fitness And Exercise Intensity, Karl M. Trounson, Spencer Robert, Aaron Balloch

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study examined the suitability of sigmoidal (SIG) and exponential (EXP) functions for modeling HR kinetics at the onset of a 5‐min low‐intensity cycling ergometer exercise test (5MT). The effects of training status, absolute and relative workloads, and high versus low workloads on the accuracy and reliability of these functions were also examined. Untrained participants (UTabs; n = 13) performed 5MTs at 100W. One group of trained participants (n = 10) also performed 5MTs at 100W (ETabs). Another group of trained participants (n = 9) performed 5MTs at 45% and 60% max (ET45 …


Are Small-Sided Games An Effective Training Methodology For Improving Fitness In Hurling Players? A Comparative Study Of Training Methodologies, Shane Malone, Brian Hughes, Kieran Collins Jan 2017

Are Small-Sided Games An Effective Training Methodology For Improving Fitness In Hurling Players? A Comparative Study Of Training Methodologies, Shane Malone, Brian Hughes, Kieran Collins

Articles

The current investigation compared the effects of specific small-sided games training versus generic continuous aerobic training on team sport related exercise performances. Forty-eight hurling players (age: 25 ± 6.4 years; height: 180.2 ± 20.4 cm; mass: 80.5 ± 3.2 kg; V·O2max" role="presentation" style="display: inline; line-height: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">V⋅O2maxV·O2max: 58.78 ± 3.05 ml·kg·min−1) completed either traditional continuous aerobic training (n = 24) or team sport-specific small-sided game training (n = 24), consisting …


Effect Of Game Design, Goal Type, And Player Numbers On The Physiological And Physical Demands Of Hurling-Specific Small-Sided Games, Shane Malone, Kieran Collins Jan 2017

Effect Of Game Design, Goal Type, And Player Numbers On The Physiological And Physical Demands Of Hurling-Specific Small-Sided Games, Shane Malone, Kieran Collins

Articles

The current study examined the effect that game design modification, goal type, and player numbers on the running performance and physiological demands of small-sided hurling games (SSG). Forty-eight hurling players (age, 25.5 ± 3.2 years; height, 178.9 ± 3.2 cm; body mass, 78.5 ± 4.5 kg) performed 4 types of SSG (possession [P], normal play [NP], regular goals [RG] and small goals [SG]) in 4-a-side, 5-a-side, and 6-a-side formats. Heart rate (Polar Electro Oy) and global positioning system technology (VX Sport, 4-Hz, Lower Hutt) were used to analyze the physical and physiological differences between SSG. Total distance (m), high-speed running …


The Influence Of Pitch Size On Running Performance And Physiological Responses During Hurling-Specific Small-Sided Games, Shane Malone, Kieran Collins Jan 2017

The Influence Of Pitch Size On Running Performance And Physiological Responses During Hurling-Specific Small-Sided Games, Shane Malone, Kieran Collins

Articles

The current study examined how the impact of pitch dimensions influences physiological and running performance during 4-minute small-sided games (SSGs). Twenty-four (n = 24) hurling players were monitored with global positioning system and heart rate monitors during the in-season training period. Total distance (in meters), high-speed running distance (in meters) (≥17 km·h), very high-speed running distance (≥22 km·h) (in meters), total accelerations (n), acceleration distance (in meters), and peak and mean velocity (in kilometers per hour) were calculated. Additionally, SSGs rate of perceived exertion (RPESSG; AU), % maximum heart rate, and individualized training impulse (iTRIMP; AU) were collected. The current …


Comparison Of Perceived Exertion While Exercising At The Same Intensity On Land And Aquatic Treadmills, Amanda D. Montemayor, Iris A. Javersak Jan 2017

Comparison Of Perceived Exertion While Exercising At The Same Intensity On Land And Aquatic Treadmills, Amanda D. Montemayor, Iris A. Javersak

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine if at the same intensity, two separate modalities of exercise could be perceived to have different difficulties. The modalities chosen for this study were underwater treadmill versus land treadmill. It was hypothesized that at the same sub maximal protocol, the underwater treadmill would be perceived as easier than the land treadmill. Both an objective measure, heart rate, and a subjective measure, a 10-point Borg rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale (Borg, 1982), were used. Ten healthy University of Akron students from the ages 19-23 were used for this study. The students did …
