INTRODUCTION: Anaerobic exercise is most commonly identified as short term, high intensity exercise. During this type of exercise a person is able put forth maximum intensity in regards to speed, strength, and power. The duration for this type of exercise is very short lasting from a few seconds to approximately 2 minutes. One of the most common methods of evaluating anaerobic exercise performance is by having a person perform the Wingate Anaerobic Test (Want). The WAnT provides researchers with many different variables to analyze for anaerobic performance therefore, it is the test that will be utilized for this particular study. …

The Effects Of Blood Flow Restriction Training On Muscular Size, Strength And Endurance, Joseph Nguyen
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION:Blood flow restriction training, has been utilized by individuals interested in inducing hypertrophic conditions without the use of heavy weight loads. The idea is to restrict venous return while still allowing arterial blood flow into the muscles being occluded. The metabolites built up would then cause an increase in anaerobic conditions producing lactic acid, fatiguing slow twitch fibers and utilizing fast twitch fibers. PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of blood flow restriction versus standard exercise for hypertrophy, strength, and endurance over a 6 week training period. METHODS: Three men (Age: 23 ±1yrs, Wt: 78.79 ±12.64kg, …

Effects Of Beta-Alanine & Recovery Methods On Lactate Levels & Anaerobic Capacity In Resistance-Trained Males, B Smilie
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
INTRODUCTION: Beta-Alanine, an ergogenic aid, is a nonessential amino acid that is naturally occurring in the human body that contributes to hydrogen buffering during high-intensity exercise (Hobson et al., 2012). High-intensity exercise causes an increase in the metabolite, lactate, or hydrogen ion concentration. This will then cause premature fatigue due to impaired contractile function. This buffering agent will be of use to athletes, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders looking to delay fatigue and increase performance. Active recovery was found to significantly reduce blood lactate concentration when compared to passive rest (Martin et al., 1998). PURPOSE: The purpose of this research study …

INTRODUCTION: Percent body fat (%BF) can be measured in many ways. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is one accepted way. This uses the relation of fat mass to lean mass in the body. A low level electrical current is sent through the body. The flow of the current is affected by the amount of water in the body. Body mass index (BMI) is another way to measure body composition. BMI is calculated by using the equation weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Waist to hip ratio is also a measurement that can be used for body composition. This …

Research has shown that more anaerobically fit soccer players make for better defenders, while the more aerobically fit players are better off being used on the offensive side of the pitch. The Wingate is an anaerobic test, most often performed on a cycle ergometer, which is used to measure peak anaerobic power, as well as anaerobic capacity. On the other hand, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of the body to transport and utilize oxygen (aerobic) during incremental exercise. To obtain VO2max, the Bruce Protocol, which is a standardized multistage treadmill test for assessing cardiovascular health, was used.

The Benefits Of Motor Imagery On Upper Limb Strength, Janet Pacheco
Kinesiology Student Research - Archive
Motor Imagery (MI) is a dynamic state in which an individual mentally stimulates a given action, without an actual motor output. The primary function is to allow the individual to generate a specific predetermined and possible outcome based on past experiences. A generous portion of MI research is primarily focused on rehabilitation rather than a strength training setting. In many cases when a patient is unable to execute a physical movement, the next most relevant scenario is to visualize the execution of that specific movement. Research suggests an increase in strength may be due to an improvement of the motor …

BACKGROUND: Thermoregulation is stated as the potential of an organism to sustain a core body temperature within parameters, as external and internal temperatures are constantly fluctuating from day to day. Exercise, illnesses or intense external conditions are factors that cause elevated core body temperature that can disrupt cellular activity. Literature has shown that in order for the body to allow for physiological processes to occur efficiently it is necessary to be in a homeothermic state. The hypothalamus is the prime mechanism that regulates the core body temperature to maintain it within a normal resting range of 97.0-100.0 ˚F. Hence, the …
