Effects of training background to acute psychological stress biomarkers

2016

Stressi on laajalti tutkittu aihe ja kroonisen stressin aiheuttamat terveysvaikutukset ovat merkittäviä maailmassa. Stressi käsitteenä voidaan ajatella tarkoittavan tilannetta, jolloin homeostaasia järkytetään. Stressi voidaan jakaa henkiseen ja fyysiseen sekä pitkäaikaiseen ja lyhytkestoiseen. Ihmisen kokiessa stressiä, niin henkistä tai fyysistä, tapahtuu hermoston toiminnan johdosta erilaisia fysiologisia muutoksia ihmiskehossa. Reaktio stressiin johtaa esimerkiksi sykkeen kiihtymiseen, verenpaineen kohoamiseen sekä erilaisten hormonien erittymiseen, kuten: adrenaliini ja kortisoli. Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkoituksena tutkia miten erilaisen harjoitustaustan omaavien henkilöiden fysiolog…

Modulations of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion in skill- and endurance-trained athletes

2022

Abstract Purpose Long-term sports training, such as skill and endurance training, leads to specific neuroplasticity. However, it remains unclear if muscle stretch-induced proprioceptive feedback influences corticospinal facilitation/inhibition differently between skill- and endurance-trained athletes. This study investigated modulation of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion between well-trained skill and endurance athletes. Methods Ten skill- and ten endurance-trained athletes participated in the study. Corticospinal excitability was tested by single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMS) at three different latencies following passive rapid ankl…

Effects of hormonal contraceptives on physical performance and body composition

2016

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of hormonal contraceptive use on neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and body composition adaptations following combined strength and endurance training period. Methods. Nineteen recreationally active women; 11 who had at least one year of hormonal contraceptive use (age 294 yr; BMI 212 kg/m2; VO2max 444 ml/kg/min) and 8 who had never used hormonal contraceptives (age 315 yr; BMI 222 kg/m2; VO2max 414 ml/kg/min) participated in the present study of combined strength and endurance training for 10 weeks. Training consisted of two maximal and explosive strength training sessions, and two high-intensity interval training sessions pe…

Changes in nocturnal heart rate variability and endurance performance during a high-intensity or high-volume endurance training period in recreationa…

2014

It is known that endurance training affects the modulation of the autonomic nervous system and heart rate variability (HRV). As a method HRV may be a potential tool to monitor trainability and endurance training adaptation. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in nocturnal HRV indices and endurance running performance during high intensity versus high volume endurance training. In total, 28 recreational male and female endurance runners (35 ± 8 year, VO2max 50 ± 5 ml/kg/min) were matched into two training groups after the 8 week basic training period (BTP) according to HRV, endurance performance and training adaptation during BTP. During the 8 week hard training period (HTP), th…

Cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular and cardiac autonomic adaptations to combined endurance and strength training in ageing men and women

Predicting and monitoring individual endurance training adaptation and individualizing training prescription : with endurance performance, cardiac au…

2016

Humans adapt differently to standardized endurance training programs. While some individuals may achieve huge improvements in physical fitness, other individuals may even suffer from negative adaptations. Special attention should be paid to identification of non-responders, which would enable to modify training to be more effective. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether running performance, cardiac autonomic regulation and neuromuscular performance can be used in 1) predicting subsequent endurance training adaptations; 2) monitoring training adaptations; and 3) individualizing training prescription in recreational endurance runners. Three longitudinal training s…
