Swimming Rats’ Model: Influence Of Age And Density On The Maximal Lactate Steady State Test, Ivan Gustavo Masselli Dos Reis, Gustavo Gomes De Araujo, Claudio Alexandre Gobatto

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The aim of this study was to verify wether the density plays a significant role in the swimming model for rats. To verify such possibility the rats’ weight in the water was considered as an additional workload beyond the load increment. Forty Wistar rats divided in groups of 90, 120 and 210 days old were used. The animals had their hydrostatic weight and density determined by an apparatus for water weighing. Later, all the rats were evaluated at the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) test adapted for swimming rats. Statistic Analysis was performed by Anova one-way and Scheffé post hoc …


Reproducibility Of A Vo2max Protocol For Runners Using Treadmill, Thiago Fernando Lourenço, Lucas Samuel Tessuti, Luis Eduardo Barreto Martins, René Brenzikofer 2012 UNICAMP

Reproducibility Of A Vo2max Protocol For Runners Using Treadmill, Thiago Fernando Lourenço, Lucas Samuel Tessuti, Luis Eduardo Barreto Martins, René Brenzikofer

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Test protocols applied to runners should reproduce the real training, outdoor race and should be able to unequivocally determine the submaximal parameters such as ventilatory threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP). However, classical VO2max protocols are still used for athletes, mainly due to familiarity, and most of them differ in methodological characteristics, such as stage duration and increment size. Other difficulty found is the lack of reliability, which can affect the precision assessment of the athlete’s performance. The aim of this study was to verify the reproducibility of an incremental protocol for the treadmill based on metabolic concepts. Eleven …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Several electrocardiogram (ECG) indexes are used to identify cardiac abnormalities in rats. However, there are few studies about the reliability of this tool. The aim of this study was to verify the reliability of a computerized electrocardiography (Heart Ware System) adapted for rats. The ECG was registered under intramuscular anesthesia (Zoletil®, 25mg/kg body weight) in the supine position, using four inserted electrodes in the subcutaneous layer of the animals’ paws (n=11). Three records per day were performed in an interval of fifteen minutes in three distinct days. Six standard leads were obtained (I, II, III, aVR, aVL and aVF) and …


Reference Change Values Of Some Current Blood Parameters In Sports Science In Physically Active Subjects, Lázaro Alessandro Soares Nunes, René Brenzikofer, Denise Vaz de Macedo 2012 University of Campinas

Reference Change Values Of Some Current Blood Parameters In Sports Science In Physically Active Subjects, Lázaro Alessandro Soares Nunes, René Brenzikofer, Denise Vaz De Macedo

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The training monitoring by blood analysis and performance tests may be useful to improve performance. However, effective interpretation of data should take in account the inherent biological and analytical variation. To verify if the difference between two serial results is significant and biologically relevant it can be calculated the Reference Change Value (RCV) from the following formula: RCV = (2)½ * Zp*(CVA2 + CV I 2)1/2, where: 21/2=to verify difference between 2 moments, Zp=Z score (probability 95% =1.96), CVA=analytical coefficient of variation and CVI=intra-individual coefficient of variation. The difference between two consecutive results compared to a calculated RCV make possible …

Ratings Of Perceived Exertion And Repetition Maximum Test In Elderly Women, Leonardo José De Souza, Leandro Ferreira, Sebastião Gobbi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Physical exertion subjective perception based on Borg scale is commonly used in researches and exercise interventions when the determination of physical effort intensity is important. Borg Scale had been largely used to control aerobic exercise intensity but few studies applied it to control resistance exercise intensity. This study aimed to compare ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) responses and real exertion intensity (based in 1 Repetition Maximum- RM) in elderly women. Thirty-six volunteers (aged 60.2 ± 7.2 years) performed knees flexion and extension movement and after each try were asked to determine their RPE (based on Borg scale CR10). To compare …

Non-Invasive Laboratory Test Used To Predict Aerobic And Anaerobic Performances In Army Runners, Raphael Cailleaux, Cristina Dos Santos, Paulo Eduardo Redkva, Vanessa Holtz Franco

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The velocity test is theoretically a non-invasive cheap method for evaluating aerobic capacity (Vcrit) and anaerobic work capacity (AWC). Various authors have validated Vcrit, generally in the field, for predicting aerobic performance. However, the validity of AWC as an anaerobic evaluation tool is still controversial. This study evaluated the capacity of laboratory determined Vcrit and AWC in predicting aerobic and anaerobic performance. Thirteen runners, aged 20.1±2.1 years, height 170±0.1 cm, and weight 66.0±3.7 kg from the 13th Armoured Infantry Battalion (Brazilian Army) based in Ponta Grossa, PR, Brazil were submitted to three exhaustive random efforts on a treadmill at 100%, …

Effects Of A Training Season Of Master Runners On Maximal And Sub-Maximal Prescription Parameters, Lucas Samuel Tessutti, Lúcio Muramatsu, Danilo Lopes Ferrucci, Charles Ricardo Lopes

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is considered an important physiological parameter to determinate cardiorespiratory capacity and has been used to predict the performance in middle and long-distance running athletes. Also the ventilatory threshold speed (sVT) and respiratory compensation point speed (sRCP) are important tools to predict performance and for training prescription. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the changes in sVO2max, sVT, sRCP and running performance during the 2008 training season. Seven master runners (50.4 ± 8.4 years), six men and one woman, with more than five years experience running training were selected. The training period was divided …
