The Effect Of Training Status On Critical Power And Work Prime, Ari Young, Jessica Linde, Jessica Rose Collins, Olivia Leach, Megan Sherman, Kiese Mpongo, Jaron Quirante, Jayson Gifford

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Critical Power (CP) represents a threshold of sustainable endurance exercise; work prime (W’) represents the amount of metabolic disturbance one is capable of enduring above CP before exhaustion. CP increases with endurance training, but it is unclear how much of this can be explained by differences in muscle mass and body mass. PURPOSE: Characterize relationship between training status and CP and W when normalized for body and muscle mass. METHODS: We recruited 23 individuals (10 untrained individuals; 7 female, 3 male age= ~23.8yrs and 13 trained individuals; 7 female, 6 male, age= ~25.8yrs). A graded VO₂max …

Time Course Evaluation Of Mapk Phosphorylation To Resistance Exercise: A Systematic Review, Justin X. Nicoll, Christopher J. Lee

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) are intramuscular cell signaling proteins that regulate adaptations to resistance exercise (RE). The MAPKs extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p90RSK, and p38-MAPK increase during and after RE. Despite the well-known increase in post-RE phosphorylation responses of MAPK, the time-course and pattern of their activation remains unclear and poorly described. The ability to clearly define phosphorylation patterns during recovery are limited due to the variety of RE protocols implemented and populations tested when investigating MPAK responses to RE. PURPOSE: To systematically review literature on exercise-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38-MAPK, and …

Use Of Ar To Bring Medical Simulation To Life, Zhenhua Yu, Richard L. Doolittle, Caroline J. Easton

Frameless

Use of simulation facilities and equipment in medical training has become the fabric of curricula across nearly all professions, most notably medical school, nursing, and related medical sciences programs. The gold standard for simulators is SimMan3G, Laerdal Inc., which offers a static electronic mannequin that affords the opportunity to create disease states, signs/symptoms, and real physiological/vital sign data complemented by voice interactions between faculty (within the control room) and student. All sessions are videotaped and, through a 15-30 minute debriefing, students exchange thoughts and impressions with faculty and engage in a deep reflective learning experience. The other option for medical …

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the preferences in the use of nutritional supplements and the correctness of their selection in training among recreational athletes attending classes at the gym. Material/Methods: A group 169 of recreational athletes was surveyed in "AWF Warszawa" and "Warszawianka" gyms; they were 26.6 years old ±6.48 yrs and had 4 years ±4.57 of training experience. The diagnostic survey method was used, with questionnaires developed by the authors of this study. Results: A significantly smaller proportion of respondents declared the use of supplements. The supplementation declared most often involved the use of chain …

The Assessment Of Intellectualisation Of The Movement Techniques Teaching In Terms Of Effective And Pro-Health Training In Young Football Players, Henryk Duda, Dariusz Mucha, Tadeusz Ambrozy, Jaroslaw Omorczyk, Ewa Dybinska, Dawid Mucha

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: Sporting success puts high requirements in terms of physical stress, it causes a major threat to an athlete’s health. Therefore, there is a need for effective training methods in order to reduce the number of contusions and sports injuries. For this purpose a method of intellectual training in the mastery of motor actions (playing technique) of young football players is recommended. Material/Methods: The influence of intellectualization on the training process and the state of health was studied in young football players (16 years old), students of the Sports School in Cracow. Continuous research was conducted from 1996 to 2001. …

Generic Versus Specific Sprint Training In Young Soccer Players, Zbigniew Jastrzebski, Lukasz Radziminski, Robert Dargiewicz, Ewelina Jaskulska, Wojciech Barnat, Pawel Rompa

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of two 8-week sprint training programs on the speed and sport-specific skills of young soccer players and to determine additional effects of 8 weeks’ whole body rotation. Material/Methods: Twenty-two Under-18 soccer players were divided into two groups: a running group (RG) and a ball group (BG). The RG completed sprint training without the ball, whereas the BG members trained with the ball. The 5-, 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-m sprint times and the level of soccer-specific skills were measured before and after completing the training programs. Results: A significant …

The State Of Knowledge Of Dietary, Physiological And Pharmacological Supplementation And The Preferential Use Of These Substances By Persons Practising Recreational Bodybuilding, Marek Kruszewski, Wladyslaw Jagiello, Rafal Kutwin

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: The aim of the study was to establish preferential use of dietary, physiological and pharmacological supplementation by persons practising recreational bodybuilding and to check whether it results from the respondents’ knowledge or whether it is accidental. Material/Methods: The group of subjects comprised 100 persons practising recreational bodybuilding in four well-known Lodz gyms. In the study the method of a diagnostic survey was used. A questionnaire containing 31 closed and opened questions constituted the research tool. Results: It was demonstrated that the state of knowledge concerning dietary supplementation is insufficient, despite its optimistic self-assessment, and because of that the preferences …

Training Modifications In Endurance Athletes Due To Covid-19 Restrictions, Birinder Nijjar, Meena Shah, Kamiah Moss, Andreas Kreutzer, Austin J. Graybeal, Robyn Braun-Trocchio, Yan Zhang, Ryan R. Porter

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The COVID-19 pandemic created a situation that abruptly altered the life of nearly every individual, forcing them to adjust their daily habits. Adults who regularly engaged in daily physical activity, either as recreational, collegiate, or professional athletes prior to lockdowns had to subsequently adapt and change their training regimens. PURPOSE: To determine which characteristics (age, sex, education level, socioeconomic status, primary endurance sport, whether the athlete is being coached or following a training program, and prior competition medaling) of recreational, collegiate, and professional endurance athletes were associated with training changes due to COVID-19 safety restrictions. METHODS: A cross-sectional …

The Effect Of Sport-Specific Resistance Training On Athletic Performance Outcomes Of College Rodeo Athletes, Kenneth L. Bowen Jr.

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Resistance training yields significant improvements to athletic performance outcomes among multiple sports. A sport-specific approach for resistance produces greater adaptation and transfer to various sports. However, few studies have examined the potential benefit of sport-specific resistance training for the sport of rodeo. PURPOSE: The aim of the current investigation was to assess the effect of sport-specific resistance training on athletic performance outcomes of rodeo athletes. METHODS: Seventeen college rodeo athletes (12 females; 5 males) participated in an 8-week, 3-days per week, sport-specific resistance training program. Muscle cross sectional area (CSA), mid-thigh pull maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MVC), height (HT), …
