Evolución de la masa corporal, la altura y el IMC en participantes del Ultratrail CSP-115
Introduction: this study analyses anthropometric changes in terms of body mass, height and body mass index (BMI), in 32 finishers of the Ultratrail-CSP-115. The aims of the study are: to analyse the differences of body mass, height and BMI between the start and the finish of the race; and to describe the evolution of the weight during the event. Methodology: the body mass, height and BMI were compared using a T-Student test. To describe the evolution of body mass during the race an analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was used. Results: significant changes were observed in the analysis of both objectives. Discussion and conclusions: the results are consistent with other simila…
Hydration Status, Executive Function, and Response to Orthostatism After a 118-km Mountain Race: Are They Interrelated?
Martínez-Navarro, I, Chiva-Bartoll, O, Hernando, B, Collado, E, Porcar, V, and Hernando, C. Hydration status, executive function and response to orthostatism after a 118-km mountain race: are they interrelated? J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 441-449, 2018-The present study aimed to explore whether blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) responsiveness to orthostatism, jointly with executive function (EF) performance, was diminished after an ultra-endurance mountain race. Besides, we wanted to assess whether hydration status was related to either performance or the abovementioned alterations. Fifty recreational ultra-endurance athletes participating in the Penyagolosa Trails CS…
