Acute Effects of High-intensity Resistance Exercise on Cognitive Function

2021

The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of an acute bout of high-intensity resistance exercise on measures of cognitive function. Ten men (Mean ± SD: age = 24.4 ± 3.2 yrs; body mass = 85.7 ± 11.8 kg; height = 1.78 ± 0.08 m; 1 repetition maximum (1RM) = 139.0 ± 24.1 kg) gave informed consent and performed a high-intensity 6 sets of 10 repetitions of barbell back squat exercise at 80% 1RM with 2 minutes rest between sets. The Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) was completed to assess various cognitive domains during the familiarization period, immediately before, and immediately after the high-intensity resistance exercise bout. The repeated measures …

Physical fitness, hormonal, and immunological responses during prolonged military field training

2018

Physical fitness is crucial to warfighters’ performance in the battlefield. Previous studies have shown negative changes in their hormonal and neuromuscular responses induced by military field training (MFT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in hormonal and immunological values and body composition during a prolonged MFT and to find out how warfighters’ physical condition influences these changes. Conscripts (n = 49, age 20 1 years, height 179 9 cm, body mass 73.8 7.8 kg, fat 12.6 3.7% and BMI 23 kg/m²) were measured before, during, after MFT, and after a 4-day recovery period. Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleuk…

Effect of Prolonged Military Field Training on Neuromuscular and Hormonal Responses and Shooting Performance in Warfighters

2018

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that military field training (MFT) has effects on warfighters’ hormonal responses, neuromuscular performance, and shooting accuracy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes in body composition, upper and lower body strength, serum hormone concentrations of testosterone (TES) and cortisol (COR), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and shooting accuracy during prolonged MFT. Methods: Serum hormone concentrations, isometric strength of the upper and lower extremities, and shooting performance were measured four times during the study: before MFT (PRE), after 12 d (MID), at the end of MFT (PO…

Cardiovascular responses to dynamic and static upper-body exercise in a cold environment in coronary artery disease patients

2021

Abstract Purpose Upper-body exercise performed in a cold environment may increase cardiovascular strain, which could be detrimental to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared cardiovascular responses of CAD patients during graded upper-body dynamic and static exercise in cold and neutral environments. Methods 20 patients with stable CAD performed 30 min of progressive dynamic (light, moderate, and heavy rating of perceived exertion) and static (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of maximal voluntary contraction) upper body exercise in cold (− 15 °C) and neutral (+ 22 °C) environments. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and electrocardiographic (ECG) responses were recorded an…

Evaluation of occupational physical load during 6-month international crisis management operation

2018

Objectives Generally, operational military duties are associated with a variety of stressors, such as prolonged physical activity (PA). However, limited information is available on the occupational workload or changes in PA during international military operations. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the changes in body composition, stress biomarkers, PA, and heart rate (HR) responses of 79 male soldiers during a 6-month international crisis management operation. Material and Methods Measurements were conducted 3 times in South-Lebanon during the operation. Body composition was assessed by the bioelectrical impedance method. Blood samples were analyzed for serum testosterone, sex-…

Ricci-flow based conformal mapping of the proximal femur to identify exercise loading effects.

2018

AbstractThe causal relationship between habitual loading and adaptive response in bone morphology is commonly explored by analysing the spatial distribution of mechanically relevant features. In this study, 3D distribution of features in the proximal femur of 91 female athletes (5 exercise loading groups representing habitual loading) is contrasted with 20 controls. A femur specific Ricci-flow based conformal mapping procedure was developed for establishing correspondence among the periosteal surfaces. The procedure leverages the invariance of the conformal mapping method to isometric shape differences to align surfaces in the 2D parametric domain, to produce dense correspondences across an…

Vesiupotusmenetelmien vaikutus fyysisestä kuormituksesta palautumiseen miehillä

2017

Johdanto. Palautuminen on tärkeää erityisesti urheilijoiden harjoittelun ja kilpailujen yhteydessä. Sitä tapahtuu harjoituksen tai kilpailun aikana, välittömästi harjoituksen tai kilpailun jälkeen ja pitkäkestoisena harjoitusten ja kilpailujen välillä. Erilaisia palautumismenetelmiä on lukuisia ja niistä tärkeimpiä ovat aktiiviset menetelmät kuten kevyt aerobinen kuormitus sekä liikkuvuusharjoitukset. Passiivisia menetelmiä ovat uni, ravinto (nesteytys), hieronta, fysioterapia, painemenetelmät, lämpömenetelmät ja kylmäkäsittely. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää aktiivisen palautumisen jälkeen suoritettujen eri vesiupotusmenetelmien sekä pelkän aktiivisen palautumisen vaikutusta fyy…

Long-term effects of physical training on cardiac function and structure in adolescent cross-country skiers : a 6.5-year longitudinal echocardiograph…

2004

Margareetta Tummavuoren 6,5 vuoden seurantatutkimus antoi tietoa harjoittelun vaikutuksista nuorten kestävyysurheilijoiden sydämen rakenteeseen ja toimintaan. Hän selvitti myös maksimaalista toimintakykyä kuvaavan maksimaalisen hapenottokyvyn kehittymistä kestävyysharjoittelun vaikutuksesta. The purpose of this 6.5-year follow-up study was to investigate the impact of training on the structure and function of the heart of young endurance athletes with the help of echocardiographic variables and maximal oxygen uptake (O2max), which indicates the capacity of maximal cardiovascular function. This study also sought to determine at which age the structural and functional changes in the heart too…
