This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High aerobic capacity has been shown to be a key indicator of physical performance in field based athletes. From having the ability to maintain energy production during long duration activities as well as replenishing other metabolic systems, aerobic capacity is a necessity for athletes performing at high levels. This research set out to look at two different training modalities in improving aerobic capacity in an athletic population. Thirteen participants (9 males and 4 females, 22.1 ± 2.5 years; 171.9 ± 10.0 cm; 74.4 ± 11.3 kg) completed six-weeks of aerobic training three times per week in either High-intensity interval training (120% of VO[subscript 2max]) or Sprint interval training (all out). In this study six participants were in the High intensity Interval group and seven were in the Sprint Interval group. Participants completed an aerobic capacity test pre and post training on a high-speed treadmill in which, VO[subscript 2max], percentage of VO[subscript 2max] at Ventilatory Threshold (VT), VO[subscript 2] at VT, and Fast Slope of Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) were all measured used open circuit spirometry. Following six-weeks of training significant Time main effects were observed for VO[subscript 2] at VT (Pre 30.0 +/- 2.4 mL/kg/min, Post 32.4 +/- 3.0 mL/kg/min), and Fast Slope of EPOC Recovery (Pre 21.7 +/- 3.5 mL/kg/min, Post 23.5 +/- 3.8 mL/kg/min), over the six-week training period. Due to a small sample size, interpretation of this data should be made with caution. However, these findings suggest that HIIT and SIT methodologies do not differ in their impact on adaptations to aerobic performance variables over a six week intervention period. More data collection is necessary to allow for more complete interpretation with appropriate statistical power.

Download or read book The One Minute Workout written by Martin Gibala and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don’t exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology—with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he’s the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala’s first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala’s fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it’s only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala’s latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don’t exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the current global prevalence of overweight and obesity, the associated health risks, and the continuing adoption of sedentary lifestyle, this thesis investigated some of the factors that contribute to exercise adherence, directly comparing high-intensity whole body interval training and continuous endurance training. 68 inactive university aged adults (Age: 21.4±3.4 yrs, BMI: 25.6±4.6 kg/m2, VO2peak 40.1±5.7 ml/kg/min) were randomized into one of three groups; a non-exercise control, whole body high intensity training, or continuous endurance training. Aerobic capacity measurements, time to completion trials, muscular endurance, and core strength measures were taken at pre, post and follow up testing sessions. Psychological questionnaires were also administered during exercise as well as throughout the study. Following the intervention both exercise groups demonstrated equivalent improvements in aerobic performance, with only the interval group experiencing improved muscular and core endurance. After the 2-month follow up testing sessions the interval group lost all aerobic and core adaptation, with endurance only experiencing a partial loss. This finding indicates that the interval group did not adhere to exercise at a level that was high enough to preserve the adaptations associated with training. This finding is further supported by the psychological factors measured throughout this study, including acute affect, enjoyment and intentions to engage in future exercise.
Download or read book Limits of Human Endurance written by Luc J. C. van Loon and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to improve exercise performance capacity through adequate nutrition Nutrition is one of the key factors that modulate exercise performance. In this book, a group of expert scientists discuss the ergogenic properties of various nutritional interventions and present research to show that dietary strategies can be applied to extend the limits of human endurance, lower the risk of illness or injury, and speed recovery rates. More specifically, they discuss recent findings on topics such as caffeine and its effect on the brain, carnitine and fat oxidation, ergogenic properties of beta- alanine, dietary protein and muscle reconditioning, nutrition and immune status, and the importance of proper hydration. This publication will provide the reader with many novel insights into the complex interaction between nutrition and exercise, allowing them to define more effective dietary strategies to improve health and performance. Moreover, while focusing on elite athletes, it is interesting to note that some of the discoveries can be applied beyond this niche, for example to improve performance outcomes in the elderly.

Download or read book Programming Interval Training to Optimize Endurance Sport Performance written by Michael Alexander Rosenblat and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interval training has become an essential component of endurance training programs because it can facilitate a substantial improvement in endurance sport performance. Interval training involves repeated bouts of high intensity exercise lasting from seconds to minutes in duration. There remains a lack of consensus concerning the optimal method to structure an interval training program. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to determine the optimal method to program interval training to maximize endurance sport performance. The results of this thesis showed that interval training produced adaptations in the central and peripheral factors that influence maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) that were dependent on the type of interval training. Interval training programs led to improvements in VO2max, maximal aerobic power and time-trial (TT) performance. The responses were highly dependent on individual and training characteristics. Training status was shown to be the primary baseline characteristics that influenced the response to interval training. With respect to programming variables, long duration intervals (4 min to 5 min) performed during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) produced greater improvements in TT performance compared to sprint interval training (SIT). Exercise performed at any intensity within the severe domain led to similar improvements in TT performance. Consistent training for at least 4-weeks was required to see maximal improvements with HIIT. However, the relationship between total work and performance improvements was not present with SIT. Meta-analyses are highly effective tools that can be used to create best practice guidelines for programming interval training.
Download or read book Regulation of Endurance Performance New Frontiers written by Alexis R. Mauger and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful endurance performance requires the integration of multiple physiological and psychological systems, working together to regulate exercise intensity in a way that will reduce time taken or increase work done. The systems that ultimately limit performance of the task are hotly contested, and may depend on a variety of factors including the type of task, the environment, external influences, training status of the individual and a host of psychological constructs. These factors can be studied in isolation, or inclusively as a whole-body or integrative system. A reductionist approach has traditionally been favoured, leading to a greater understanding and emphasis on muscle and cardiovascular physiology, but the role of the brain and how this integrates multiple systems is gaining momentum. However, these differing approaches may have led to false dichotomy, and now with better understanding of both fields, there is a need to bring these perspectives together. The divergent viewpoints of the limitations to human performance may have partly arisen because of the different exercise models studied. These can broadly be defined as open loop (where a fixed intensity is maintained until task disengagement), or closed loop (where a fixed distance is completed in the fastest time), which may involve whole-body or single-limb exercise. Closed loop exercise allows an analysis of how exercise intensity is self-regulated (i.e. pacing), and thus may better reflect the demands of competitive endurance performance. However, whilst this model can monitor changes in pacing, this is often at the expense of detecting subtle differences in the measured physiological or psychological variables of interest. Open loop exercise solves this issue, but is limited by its more restrictive exercise model. Nonetheless, much can be learnt from both experimental approaches when these constraints are recognised. Indeed, both models appear equally effective in examining changes in performance, and so the researcher should select the exercise model which can most appropriately test the study hypothesis. Given that a multitude of both internal (e.g. muscle fatigue, perception of effort, dietary intervention, pain etc.) and external (e.g. opponents, crowd presence, course topography, extrinsic reward etc.) factors likely contribute to exercise regulation and endurance performance, it may be that both models are required to gain a comprehensive understanding. Consequently, this research topic seeks to bring together papers on endurance performance from a variety of paradigms and exercise models, with the overarching aim of comparing, examining and integrating their findings to better understand how exercise is regulated and how this may (or may not) limit performance.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to compare a running based High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) protocol to a Continuous Endurance Training (CET) and their aerobic adaptations, such as increased VO2[subscritp max] and improved body composition. Recruitment of participant's occured by flyers on campus. After indicating interest, volunteers answered no, to all questions on the PAR-Q to be eligible. Pre and post testing included a submaximal VO2[subscritp max] test, using the 12 min cooper run test, and body composition using the BOD POD GS (COSMED USA Inc., Concord, California). After testing, the participants were randomly stratified based on matched aerobic capacity scores to either the HIIT, CET or control group. The CET and HIlT group completed 6 weeks of 3 days/week of the training protocol. The HIlT group did 10 X 60 s workload intervals with 60 s of rest in between each interval. The CET group did 40 to 60 min moderate intensity running. Pre to post test values were compared using a student t test with p
Download or read book Effect of High Intensity Interval Training HIIT on Vascular Function and Insulin Sensitivity written by Shinichiro Sugiura and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is characterized by short bursts of vigorous physical activity, interspersed by periods of rest or low-intensity exercise of varying durations. HIIT may be used as an effective alternative to traditional endurance training, resulting in similar or greater improvements in a number of physiological, performance, and health-related indices in both healthy and in individuals with chronic diseases. The present thesis examined the effects of a two-week HIIT program on measures of aerobic fitness, vascular function (Chapter 3) and insulin sensitivity (Chapter 4). The first study demonstrated no effect on flow-mediated dilation or peak oxygen uptake following two weeks of HIIT with L-arginine supplement compared to HIIT alone, although both groups improved time to exhaustion and the peak work rate during progressive ramp exercise to fatigue. The results of the second study demonstrated six session of HIIT had no effect on glucose appearance and removal (i.e. oral glucose tolerance test, OGTT) or insulin sensitivity in healthy individuals with family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or in healthy individuals without a family history of T2DM. However, results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) significantly predicted insulin sensitivity in healthy individuals with a family history of T2DM. In order to prevent chronic diseases, such as T2DM, as well as other diseases that have a sedentary lifestyle as a primary risk factor, it is critical that individuals engage in regular physical activity in an effort to curb the rising trends in the prevalence of hypokinetic diseases. Although the results of the present investigation did not provide significant findings in this group of young, healthy adults, further investigations are necessary, including an examination of the physiological adaptations and compliance associated with longer term HIIT exercise programs, the inclusion of additional patient populations, and the optimal combination of exercise intensity, duration and recovery intervals in order to promote HIIT as an effective, efficient alternative training method.
