An Alternate To Accumulated Oxygen Deficit (Aod) For Measuring Anaerobic Contribution: ‘Aodalt’ Is Valid In Normoxia And Hypoxia, Austin Shaw, John Michael Mihalek, David W. Hill

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Accumulated oxygen deficit (AOD) is the gold standard measure of anaerobic contribution; however, its calculation requires several contentious assumptions and it is time-consuming, requiring participants to perform a number of submaximal exercise bouts to establish exercise efficiency. A new method, AODalt, requires performance of only a single bout of exercise, and is based on the presumption that the fast phase of the post-exercise oxygen uptake (VO₂) profile reflects the alactic or phosphocreatine (PCr) contribution and that the exercise-induced increase in blood lactate concentration is quantitatively related to the lactic or glycolytic contribution representing a measure of total anaerobic …

Relationship Between Intestinal Permeability And Microvascular Responses In A High-Risk Hispanic Population Of The Rio Grande Valley, Sophia M. Moreno, Alissa Olvera, Abigail Gomez, Ryan Russell, Melody Cantu, Andrea Toledo, Yu Lun Tai

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) has ~3x higher rates of diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than the US, which combine to be the leading cause of preventable death in the developed world. Microvascular blood flow (MBF) responses are an early indicator of vascular insulin resistance, and is blunted with obesity, T2D, and those at high risk for T2D. We have previously shown that apparently healthy people in the RGV display impaired MBF responses, helping explain the disparities noted with chronic disease. However mechanisms explaining this early vascular insulin resistance remain unexplored. Recent studies indicate that increased …

Systemic Inflammation Persists In Rats With Heart Failure After A Short-Term Endurance Training Protocol, Quinten Pigg, Dillon Harris, Aaron Garcia, Daniela Sayuri Inoue, Mariana Janini Gomes

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Exercise has been shown to produce an anti-inflammatory response and an increased exercise tolerance in heart failure (HF) patients. In rats, monocrotaline (MCT) leads to pulmonary arterial hypertension-induced HF (PAH-HF), resulting in exercise intolerance and chronic inflammation. However, little is known about the effects of endurance training in rats with PAH-HF induced by monocrotaline. PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of an endurance training protocol on systemic inflammatory markers and exercise tolerance in rats with HF. METHODS: 30 male Wistar rats (~250g) were randomly divided into 4 groups: control untrained (CU); control trained (CT), PAH-HF untrained (HFU), and PAH-HF trained (HFT). …

Examining The Effect Of Exogenous Ketone Supplement On Indices Of Peripheral Vascular Health/Function, John Kolade, Alison Ortiz, Prarthi Shah, Ken Perry, R. Matthew Brothers

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. The risk for and prevalence of CVD are elevated by various factors including impaired micro- and macrovascular function. Associated mechanisms are multifactorial but are related to elevated oxidative stress and/or inflammation which contribute to reduced nitric oxide bioavailability and ultimately vasodilatory reactivity. Ketogenic diets, commonly used as a strategy to lose weight and improve health, have been reported to improve mitochondria function, as well as antioxidant and inflammatory status. To the best of our knowledge, the effects on vascular function are less understood. PURPOSE: This …

Effects Of Continuous Aerobic Exercise On Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Induced By Heart Failure, Carolina Tonon, Bertha F. Polegato, Quinten Pigg, Dillon Harris, Aaron Garcia, Daniela S. Inoue, Mariana Janini Gomes

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Heart failure is a common and severe disease that worsens morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. One of the clinical manifestations of heart failure is peripheral muscular atrophy, whose presence impacts the prognosis of heart failure patients. Inflammation is one of the main mechanisms related to muscle atrophy. We hypothesized that inflammation, through excessive activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome, would be tightly associated with skeletal muscle atrophy induced by heart failure. Additionally, aerobic exercise, well known for its anti-inflammatory action, would counteract this condition in a rat model of heart failure. PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the effects of continuous …

The Effect Of Menstrual Phases On Salivary Markers Of Stress And Body Composition, Josey Walker, Nathan Sutton, Matthew J. Mcallister

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Women have been historically excluded in physiology research due to the assumption that the menstrual cycles influence physiological biomarkers. Research has shown that cortisol concentrations are higher during the follicular phase compared to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. In addition, morning cortisol concentrations have been shown to be significantly higher in the morning compared to evening. However, salivary a-amylase (sAA) and secretory immunoglobin-A (SIg-A) have not been researched across the menstrual cycle. sAA is an indicator of sympathetic nervous system activation and is sensitive to acute stress. SIg-A is an antibody that is also an indicator of chronic …

Does 24-48 Or 48-96 Promote Better Rem Sleep Within Firefighters?, Ernesto Balderrama Jr, Raquel J. Cavazos, Cheyenne Martinez, Bryan G. Meek, Hussien K. Jabai, Vipa Bernhardt, Michael D. Oldham

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A firefighter’s work schedule can be very demanding regardless if they work 24 hours followed by a 48-hour time off schedule or a 48-hour on followed by a 96-hour time off. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep could be the deciding factor of how well a firefighter can perform following a certain work schedule. REM sleep is associated with the mental activity of dreaming; an individual averages 20-25% REM sleep of their total sleep time (Carskadon & Dement, 2005). REM is important for recovery because it can impact cognitive functions such as impulse control and decision making (Brunet, et al, 2020). …
