Download or read book Energy Availability and Sleep Quality on Training Responses and Sport Performance in Collegiate Division I Swimmers written by Megan Conklin and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given their frequent, intense training sessions and competitions, elite collegiate athletes often struggle to adequately fuel for their high energy needs, resulting in a high prevalence of low energy availability (EA) among elite collegiate athletes. In those with low EA, metabolic fuel repartitioning occurs to conserve energy, which, when left unaddressed, can have serious consequences on reproductive and bone health; meanwhile, low EA's impact on training adaptations and athletic performance is less well understood, making this issue one of great importance. Also common among elite collegiate athletes is poor sleep, often attributed to the time demands of balancing academic responsibilities with rigorous training schedules. Inadequate sleep has been found to impact health and appears to impair training responses and athletic performance, although more research is needed to understand the relationship between these variables. Additionally, sleep deprivation is associated with changes in metabolic hormones that are remarkably similar to the changes that occur with metabolic fuel repartitioning in response to low EA, making the relationship between EA, sleep, training responses, and sport performance even more interesting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the interrelationships between EA, sleep quality, training responses, and sport performance. To do so, this study used WHOOP wearable technology (WHOOP Inc., Boston, MA) to collect data on sleep quality and training (strain, average HR, and maximum HR). Three-day food logs were completed through the MyFitnessPal (Under Armour Inc; Baltimore, MD) app to collect energy intake data. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to quantify body composition, and a 200-yard time trial swim time (TTperf) was used to quantify athletic performance in 26 male and female NCAA Division 1 Swimmers during heavy training. Collection of EA was matched to sleep and training responses, but not matched to TTperf. Sleep measures were also recorded on the day preceding TTperf. Pearson correlations were utilized to determine relationships between variables when no sex effects persisted, whereas linear regression analyses were utilized to control for sex-differences. In all swimmers, there was a trend toward a correlation between EA and sleep duration hours (R=0.33; p=0.06). EA positively correlated with REM hours (R=0.64; p=0.001). When controlling for sex, EA was a predictor of SWS hours (R^2=0.448; p=0.001). Also in all swimmers, sleep duration hours and sleep debt hours were related to strain (R=-0.85; p=0.01, R=0.35; p=0.045, respectively), and ExHRavg (R=-0.65; p=0.001, R=0.51; p=0.01, respectively). SWS hours was inversely related to ExHRavg (R=-0.41; p=0.04). When controlling for sex, sleep duration hours and SWS% the night preceding the race predicted TTperf (R2 = 0.881; p

Book excerpt: Just one hundredth of a second separates elite swimmers from the podium, but what are the physical forces at work behind these tiny margins, and how can an understanding of them be used to improve your own technique in the pool? Swimming Science investigates, with each chapter focussing on a different area. From swimming technology, physiology, and psychology to hydrodynamics, the key principles of swimming science are addressed, with the content organised around a series of questions. What creates the drag in the water? How have swim suits evolved? Which muscles generate propulsion? How much force do elite swimmers use? Each question is investigated using up-to-date science and explanatory info-graphics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Three studies were conducted to examine current coach!$,implemented injury prevention and management practices in high!$,performance competitive swimming. Coach and swimmer perceptions of the use of and importance of coachimplemented injury prevention and management behaviours were also investigated. Study One employed one!$,on!$,one semi!$,structured interviews to survey perceptions of elite coaches (N=12), injured swimmers (N=5), and sports medicine professionals (N=6) from the United States and Australia on what coaches should do to prevent and manage injuries. Participant responses reflected a four!$,phase cycle of injury prevention and management, starting from Injury Prevention and continuing through Short!$,term Injury Management, Long!$,term Injury Management, and culminating in Return to Full Training. Responses also revealed that the coach plays a pivotal role in the technical coaching aspects of injury prevention and management, and also performs a critical role in the social support of injured athletes as they rehabilitate and transition back to full training. Study Two leveraged knowledge from Study One to develop a profiling tool to measure the degree of coach!$,implemented injury prevention and management behaviours as well as the perceived importance of those behaviours. The Injury Prevention and Management Profile for Swimming (IPMP!$,S), was comprised of four sections of the injury prevention and management cycle from Study One and included specific behaviours for injury prevention and management. The IPMP!$,S was administered to high performance coaches (N=18) and swimmers (N=135) from the United States and Australia. Results of a series of repeated measures Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that swimmers and coaches rated the importance of injury prevention and management behaviours significantly higher than the degree to which they perceived their coach (or the coach self!$,reported) to enact those behaviours. One!$,way ANOVAs also revealed that swimmers perceived their coaches to implement injury prevention and management behaviours to a significantly lesser degree than coaches reported enacting behaviours. In Study Three, a coach!$,implemented injury prevention and management intervention was introduced to a high performance national swim squad comprised of male and female adolescent aged swimmers (N=19 swimmers, N=1 coach) and using knowledge gained from the first two studies. Members of two other comparable clubs (N=16 swimmers, N=2 coaches) acted as controls over the duration of a 3!$,month competitive season. Prior to the outset of the season, the coach of the intervention squad underwent consultation with the primary investigator to create an injury prevention and management program for their squad. To measure the effectiveness of the injury prevention and management program, all swimmers (N=35) and their coaches (N=3) completed the IPMP!$,S preand post!$,intervention. Swimmers also completed the Life Events Survey for Collegiate Athletes (LESCA) and the Recovery Stress Questionnaire for athletes (RESTQ!$,76 Sport). These measures were used to determine a relationship between life stress and injury rate in swimming. Results revealed no relationship between life stress and injury occurrence in competitive swimming...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Designed to help readers understand and evaluate the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk, this book presents evidence for the "J-shaped" relationship between exercise load and infection risk. It also describes the components of the human immune system and key functions that protect the body from disease, the impact of acute and chronic psychological stress on immune function, and practical guidelines for minimizing the risk of immunodepression and infection in athletes. Further chapters explore different ways of measuring immune function, as well as the effects of heavy training on innate and specific (acquired) immunity, exercise in environmental extremes, and nutrition. Connections between exercise, infection risk, and immune function in special populations (elderly, obese, diabetic and HIV patients) are also addressed. Authored by a team of highly experienced experts. The "J-shaped" relationship between exercise load and infection risk is described, backed by current research and evidence. Components of the immune system and normal immune function are explained in detail, as well as methods for measuring immune function. The impact of acute and chronic psychological stress on immune function is presented, along with suggestions for minimizing the risk of immunodepression and infection in athletes. The effects of heavy training, exercise in environmental extremes, and nutrition are discussed with regard to their impact on innate and specific (acquired) immunity. Immune function in special populations (elderly, obese, diabetic and HIV patients) is also addressed, exploring links between exercise and infection risk in these groups. Evidence-based coverage includes a list of references in each chapter, as well as suggestions for further reading that direct readers to important texts and review articles. Information is presented in an easily accessible format, following a logical progression of material. LEach chapter begins with a list of learning objectives and ends with a list of key points to reinforce learning. A glossary at the end of the book defines all key terms and abbreviations.

Download or read book Exercise Immunology written by Michael Gleeson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise immunology is an important, emerging sub-discipline within exercise physiology, concerned with the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk. This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and evidence-based introduction to exercise immunology, including the physiological and molecular mechanisms that determine immune function and the implications for health and performance in sport and everyday life. Written by a team of leading exercise physiologists, the book describes the characteristics of the immune system and how its components are organised to form an immune response. It explains the physiological basis of the relationship between stress, physical activity, immune function and infection risk, and identifies the ways in which exercise and nutrition interact with immune function in athletes and non-athletes. The book shows students how to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the evidence linking physical activity, immune system integrity and health, and explains why exercise is associated with anti-inflammatory effects that are potentially beneficial to long-term health. Every chapter includes useful features, such as clear summaries, definitions of key terms, discussions of seminal research studies and practical guidelines for athletes on ways to minimise infection risk, with additional learning resources available on a companion website. This is an essential textbook for any course on exercise immunology or advanced exercise physiology.

Download or read book Overtraining Syndrome in Athletes written by Flavio Cadegiani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses major changes in our understanding of the most prevalent non-orthopedic, sports-related condition – overtraining syndrome (OTS), arguing that it should be considered as the manifestation of burnout in athletes, rather than simply the result of excessive training. While the chronic adaptations of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems to exercise are well documented, those of the endocrine system are less well known, and adaptations of the hormonal ranges for athletes are yet to be determined. There is also a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria, consistent assessment methods and biomarkers. This book offers a systematic review of the hormonal aspects of overtraining syndrome, and a comparison with sports-related syndromes triggered by chronic deprivation of different sorts, including the female athlete triad (and its derivative, RED-S) and burnout syndrome of the athlete (BSA). It demonstrates that these conditions, although studied separately from each other, may all be different manifestations of the same condition, leading to ‘maladaptive’ (dysfunctional forced adaptations to a hostile environment) changes in response to chronic depletion of energy and mechanisms of repair, causing multiple dysfunctions. The author proposes that OTS/Paradoxical Deconditioning Syndrome (PDS), RED-S/TRIAD and BSA are parts of a same condition, or at least a group of similar conditions. Further, the book offers a chronological overview of OTS, based on preliminary research. Given its broad scope, this concise reference book will appeal to a range of health professionals. It allows readers, including those without a strong academic background, to gain a systematic understanding of OTS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the proceedings of the Reisensburg workshop which took place at Reisensburg Castle in November 1997". The castle is built on the site of an - cient Roman compound and situated in the south of Germany at the Danube river. Sci- tists from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States participated in the workshop. Like the 1996 workshop, the proceedings of which will be published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Ex- cise in 1998, the 1997 workshop also focused on the topic of overtraining in its widest sense to deepen our knowledge in this particularly sensitive field of sports science and sports practice. The authors see the present volume in a context with the proceedings p- sented by Guten (ed. ) "Running Injuries"; Saunders, Philadelphia (1997) and Kxeider, Fry, and O'Toole (eds. ) "Overtraining in Sport"; Human Kinetics, Champaign IL (1997). Overtraining, that is, too much stress combined with too little time for regeneration, can be seen as a crucial and threatening problem within the modern athletic community, of which significance can already be recognized reading daily newspapers: ". . . During the 1996 European championships, a gymnast shook his head almost imperceptibly, closed his eyes briefly and left the arena without looking up. He was fatigue personified. 'Suddenly, I just couldn't do any more. I just wanted to rest'". A look at his schedule showed why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides athletic specialists, trainers, and coaches with resources for monitoring athletes to avoid over-training, burnout, and decreased performance. The questionnaire is based on the hypothesis that an accumulation of stress in different areas of life, with insufficient opportunity for recovery, leads to a compromised psychophysical state. Stress states are based on 12 nonspecific and seven sports-specific scales. The questionnaire package offers tools to measure and track an athlete's recovery, including two complete questionnaires (72- and 56-item forms), manual scoring keys, profile sheets, and a user manual that describes questionnaire development and data and profile interpretation.c.
