Input Of Sex Data Does Not Affect Metabolic Variables Returned From The Cosmed K5 Unit During Exercise, Olivia R. Perez, Michael W.H Wong, Dustin W. Davis, James W. Navalta

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

There is a sex-data gap in sport and exercise, which results in an underrepresentation of female participants and increases the possibility of misgendering individuals who identify other than the female-male binary. A potential barrier to gender inclusivity could be that common exercise science equipment and software are limited to binary options for sex, excluding people who identify as gender minorities. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether sex data input into the COSMED K5 had a direct effect on metabolic outcome variables. METHODS: Seven adult participants (age = 29.6 ± 10.8 years, height = 172.6 ± 8.5 …

Erα Governs The Sexual Dimorphism In Hsp72-Mediated Control Of Mitochondrial Function, Exercise Capacity, And Insulin Sensitivity In Mice, Noelle Morrow, Amanda Lin, Zhenqi Zhou, Hirotaka Iwasaki, Brian Drew, Mark Febbraio, Andrea Hevener

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

HSP72 is a chaperone protein upregulated during exercise. Levels are reduced in aging and obesity, and increased levels are correlated with improvements in metabolic health in male mice and humans. Male HSP72KO mice have increased body fat, decreased insulin sensitivity, and a loss of mitochondrial quality control. Specifically, male KO mice have increased cytosolic Parkin levels, but the protein is unable to move to the mitochondria resulting in enlarged, hyperfused mitochondria associated with metabolic dysfunction. PURPOSE: To investigate the role of HSP72 in female mice to better understand the sexual dimorphism involved in the heat shock response. METHODS: …

Influence Of Fitness On Moderate-Intensity Blood Pressure Responses In Normotensive And Hypertensive Individuals, Joseph Larsen, Jayson Gifford

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Early detection and treatment is important in cardiovascular disease because arteries are often occluded by 75% or more before symptoms become apparent. Exercise blood pressure has been shown to be predictive of future cardiovascular disease independent of resting blood pressure. However, many factors affecting exercise blood pressure need to be further investigated and described before exercise blood pressure can become a common practice. PURPOSE: To investigate how exercise intensity and fitness influence the blood pressure response in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. We hypothesized that hypertensive participants would have greater increases in exercise blood pressure than normotensive subjects during a …

Stewart, Lee J Hinkle, Austin Goodrich, Malorie Wilwand, Gabe Davidson, Bryson T. Schaugaard, B. Brett Mortensen, Matthew K. Seeley, A. Wayne Johnson

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

ABSTRACT

The loading forces experienced during exercise may cause morphological and vascularization changes in the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendons of runners decrease in cross-sectional area (CSA) after a distance run. Understanding acute morphological changes as a result of single bouts of exercise gives insight to clinicians about how to organize and recommend training sessions and recovery and may inform injury risk. Purpose: This study aims to characterize changes in tendon thickness, CSA, and blood flow of Division I collegiate football (FB) players before and after a bout of strengthening exercise. Methods: Twenty-nine participants (height: 189±5.62 cm, weight: 106±19.0 kg, …
