This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Purpose of this study was to determine the most effective method of recovery from an exhausting workout by comparing passive, active, and cold-water immersion (CWI). Exercise induced muscle damage (EIDM) is the micro trauma that occurs during strenuous exercise. Recovery is the physiologic response period following intense exercise where the body repairs EIMD, adapts to exercise, and refuels tissue for performance. There are many physiological and psychological factors involved in recovery. For example, active recovery may be advantageous because it promotes greater blood circulation to the damaged tissue. CWI may be advantageous because it serves to limit inflammation. By manipulating these factors it was hypothesized that CWI would be the most effective method of recovery. The Hanover College Institutional Review Board approved this study.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving adequate and appropriate recovery from exercise is essential in ensuring optimal performance during repeated bouts of exercise. The use of various recovery interventions has become popular in an attempt to enhance subsequent performance and accelerate post-exercise recovery. The application of various post-exercise hydrotherapy interventions has become increasingly popular, however, the majority of current recovery practices appear to be based largely on anecdotal evidence as opposed to rigorous scientific research or evidence based findings. Physiologically, various hydrotherapy protocols have been shown to affect the body via fluid shifts (interstitial to intravascular space), changes in blood flow and cardiovascular function, and reductions in oedema. The possible psychological effects of water immersion must also be considered, with athletes commonly reporting reduced sensations of fatigue and soreness following immersion. Current literature suggests both hydrostatic pressure and water temperature to be important factors influencing the success of hydrotherapy. The overall aim of the present thesis was to enhance current knowledge and understanding with regards to the physiological and performance effects of various forms of hydrotherapy, used as a post-exercise recovery intervention. Initially, four cold water immersion interventions were compared to active recovery, performed between two bouts of high intensity cycling in hot environmental conditions. Effectiveness of recovery was determined via performance in a subsequent exercise bout; in addition, core body temperature, lactate, and heart rate were recorded. The remaining studies were designed to investigate the effects of cold water immersion, hot water immersion, contrast water therapy, and passive recovery 4 (control) following exercise-induced fatigue and exercise-induced muscle damage. Rate of recovery was assessed through changes in performance, core body temperature, thigh girths, blood markers, and perceived exertion/soreness. The results of the combined studies indicate cold water immersion to be more effective than active recovery when performed immediately post-exercise between two bouts of high intensity cycling in hot environmental conditions. Additionally, both cold water immersion and contrast water therapy were effective in aiding recovery from exercise-induced fatigue and exercise-induced muscle damage. Performance variables indicated an improved maintenance or return of performance following these recovery protocols. The present studies have provided additional information to the limited knowledge base regarding the effect of post-exercise hydrotherapy interventions, specifically, the effect of such interventions on subsequent athletic performance. In conclusion, cold water immersion and contrast water therapy appear to be superior to hot water immersion, active recovery, and passive recovery following fatiguing and muscle damaging exercise. Functional and physiological recovery was enhanced following the use of these two recovery protocols.
Download or read book The Effects of Cold Water Immersion on Recovery Following the Demands Associated with Team sport Exercise written by Monique Pointon and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The high-intensity, physically demanding nature of team-sport exercise invokes physiological perturbations often resulting in short- and long-term reductions in muscle function and increased symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). When such exercise bouts are performed in hot environmental conditions and/or include exposure to intense physical collisions between opposing players, the physiological load of exercise can be exacerbated. Consequently, post-exercise recovery strategies including cold water immersion (CWI) are commonly implemented in order to minimise the deleterious symptoms associated with team-sport exercise, and optimise the quality of subsequent performance. Despite the increased popularity of CWI, minimal research has focused on the benefits following team-sport exercise and more specifically, there remains a paucity of research evaluating the subsequent effects of cold therapy on the recovery of neuromuscular function following the demands associated with team-sport exercise. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to examine the effects of post-exercise cold therapy on the recovery of neuromuscular function following a variety of exercise conditions related to team-sport activity"--Abstract, p. v.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Cold water immersion (CWI) is commonly used by endurance athletes to speed recovery and maintain performance during subsequent exercise bouts. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of CWI following an acute bout of intense aerobic exercise on 5 km run performance, perceived muscle soreness (PMS) , range of motion (ROM), thigh circumference, and perceived exertion. Nine endurance trained males (35.9 ÷ 7.8 years old) completed 2 trials consisting of 8 repetitions of 1200 m at a running pace equal to 75% ofVO2peak. Following exercise, subjects underwent CWI (12 mm at 12°C) on the lower body or no treatment. A timed 5 km run was completed 24 hr post exercise. No differences were found between 5 km run time for the CWI and control trials. PMS increased significantly from baseline to immediately post exercise (p

This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s competitive sport environment, discovering effective methods of facilitating optimal athletic performance is paramount to success. The recovery period is essential in maintaining athletes’ physical and psychological well-being and crucial in the pursuit of intense physical training and satisfying performances. Recovery for Performance in Sport presents techniques and modalities currently used to enhance athletes’ recovery, optimize training time, and avoid overtraining. Edited by members of l’Institut National du Sport, de l'Expertise et de la Performance (INSEP), Christophe Hausswirth, and Iñigo Mujika, the text encompasses the latest scientific research in the study of recovery and draws from the experience of applied sport scientists working with elite athletes in leading performance and recovery centers. Readers will find proven strategies for enhancing the recovery process and learn the importance of structuring an individualized and evidenced-based recovery plan for improving performance. Appealing to a broad audience encompassing professionals, athletes, coaches, and students, Recovery for Performance in Sport provides a scientific base of information as well as specific elements that allow for practical application in the real world. More than 30 international professionals contributed to chapter content, including case studies of international athletes and coaches. These case studies complement the scientific explanations by bringing additional context to the discussion of safe recovery modalities and how to apply those concepts to specific sports. Cutting-edge research and techniques allow readers to maximize the recovery of their athletes by learning from the proven strategies of international experts. Recovery for Performance in Sport is divided into four parts, each presenting scientific knowledge, practical applications, and related case studies. The first two parts focus on the physiology of optimal training, how to prevent overtraining, and how to peak for optimal performance. Part III is a discussion of current recovery modalities along with strategies for optimizing recovery through the combination of modalities. Focusing on recovery at the muscular level, this part discusses nutrition strategies, electrostimulation, compression, massage, and immersion procedures, among others. Part IV of the text considers situations that offer unique variables to consider when choosing recovery techniques. Differences between men and women in postexercise recovery are detailed along with a current discussion of thermoregulatory responses and adaptations to exercise and heat stress. Consideration is also given to the interventions used to alleviate thermal strain and the limitations of various recovery strategies after exercise in the heat. The physiological responses to altitude exposure and its impact on performance and various factors related to recovery are also discussed along with practical recommendations to facilitate altitude adaptation and recovery. Recovery is one of the least understood and most under-researched components of the exercise-adaptation cycle. Yet, the importance of the recovery period cannot be overstated considering that athletes spend more time in recovery than in active training and that many adaptations to training take place during the recovery period. The current knowledge and applied information featured in Recovery for Performance in Sport will assist readers in improving the recovery process to help athletes achieve easier adaptation to training loads, lower their risk of overload and injury, and ultimately improve athletic performance.

Download or read book Cardiac Dynamics written by J. Baan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac Dynamics is the name of a relatively young field of study, born from the fruitful interaction between branches of two different disciplines: medicine and physics. "Dynamics" is the branch of physics which deals with the action of forces on bodies or particles in motion or at rest. "Cardiac" relates to the clinical field of cardiology but also to cardiophysiology, both of which are specialized branches of medicine. Narrower than the well established field of Hemodynamics, Cardiac Dynamics is restricted to dynamic phenomena occurring in and around the heart. The mathematical treatment of such phenomena, however, is vastly more complex because of the intricate nature of the mechanisms involved in the cardiac action. Thus, whereas hemodynamics is concerned with predominantly passive (visco-) elastic structures - vessels - containing time-variant flow of viscous flui- blood -, the mechanical study of the heart requires additional con siderations such as: active elastic components representing the contractile mechanism of cardiac muscle, complex geometry and fiber structure in the myocardial wall, autoregulatory mechanisms, and intricate flow patterns associated with valve motion. Viewed in this light it is not surprising that attempts to describe ventricular pump function and to quantify contractile performance have not reached the level of sophistication which is common in e. g. arterial hemodynamics. For the same reason, many of the often simplified approaches to describe ventricular mechanics failed to stand up to more rigorous theoretical, experimental or clinical testing.
Download or read book Recovery from Strenuous Exercise written by Steve Bedford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaches, managers and athletes frequently ask about how they can recover as fast as possible from fatigue and improve subsequent performance. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise informs students, athletes and practicing strength and conditioning coaches and performance therapists on how to use the latest scientific evidence to inform their recovery practice – particularly during high training volumes and competitive cycles. This book empowers the athlete, the coach and the therapist by giving them greater confidence, improving their critical thinking, helping them to avoid poor practice and enhancing their understanding of what causes fatigue and how its effects can be minimised. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise covers many of the aspects required to make a highly skilled, confident, knowledgeable personal trainer, sports therapist or strength and conditioning coach. It also acts as a recovery ‘go-to’ guide for competitive recreational athletes who lack the knowledge and guidance on optimal recovery protocols used by their professional peers. This text serves as a learning and research aid for athletes and those studying vocational personal training and sports therapy courses, and those studying other courses where recovery modalities form part of their undergraduate and postgraduate study, such as strength and conditioning, sports science, sports therapy, sports rehabilitation, osteopathy and physiotherapy.

Download or read book Evening Exercise and Cold Water Immersion written by Elisa Robey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-exercise recovery strategies are commonly used with elite athletes to minimise fatigue experienced post-training. Sleep is widely considered to be the most important period for achieving optimal recovery post-exercise, however, sleep research in athletes is limited. One of the most popular post-exercise recovery techniques is cold water immersion (CWI). While there has been some research into the subsequent performance benefits (~60 min to 72 h) of post-exercise cold water immersion, there has been limited research into the physiological responses in the post-immersion (~90 min) period. As athletes often perform CWI in the evening post-exercise, research is needed to investigate the effects of CWI on subsequent sleep quality and quantity. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effect of evening high-intensity exercise, plus any effect of CWI performed post-exercise, on subsequent sleep quality and quantity. Specifically, study 1 investigated the core temperature and salivary melatonin responses to 15 min of either cold (14°C) or warm water immersion (WWI: 34°C) after a high-intensity cycling protocol in the evening. Study 2 investigated the effect of early evening high-intensity training sessions (over a training phase) on the sleep of elite youth soccer players in their normal sleeping environment using wrist actigraphy, by comparing high-intensity and low-intensity/no training nights. Additionally, as the players regularly engaged in CWI post-training (15 min in 14°C) it was possible to explore any effects of CWI on subsequent sleep. Study 3 combined elements of study 1 and study 2 together, by investigating the effect of evening highintensity cycling with and without the addition of CWI (15 min in 14°C) performed post-exercise compared to a control (no-exercise, no CWI) condition on the sleep of healthy male athletes. Sleep was measured using polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard of sleep measurement. Core temperature, skin temperature and salivary melatonin were also measured as these have all been linked to sleep mechanisms and there has been limited research surrounding their response to evening exercise and CWI. The results from these studies show that performing CWI post-exercise will decrease core temperature at a greater rate than both WWI and a control condition, with the effect lasting for ~2 h post-exercise. In addition, salivary melatonin is unaffected by both high-intensity exercise and CWI, even when controlling for light exposure, which usually inhibits the secretion of melatonin. However, most importantly, high-intensity exercise performed in the evening with or without the addition of CWI performed postexercise does not affect whole night sleep quality and quantity of athletes as measured by both actigraphy and PSG. Therefore, athletes and coaches can be confident that performing CWI post-exercise in the evening does not negatively affect the subsequent sleep of athletes.
