Download or read book The Effect of Selected Rest Intervals on Total Work Volume and Blood Lactate Levels During High Intensity Elbow Flexion Exercise at a Fixed Relative Resistance written by David Ablack and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of male subjects (N = 8) were used to examine the effects of two selected rest intervals on total work volume and blood lactate during a maximal effort elbow flexion resistance exercise performed at a fixed relative resistance (70% IRM). The rest intervals were set at 30 seconds (R$\sb{30}$) and 180 seconds (R$\sbþ$) and were based on the half and full recovery times respectively of the high energy creatine phosphate (CP) system. The exercise continued until a computerized light sensor system detected a movement speed decrease to a pre-determined level of fatigue. R$\sbþ$ resulted in a significantly greater volume of work (247%) achieved without a statistically significant increase in blood lactate (10%) compared to R$\sb{30}$. It was concluded that a rest interval between repeats of elbow flexion exercise of 180 seconds versus 30 seconds significantly increased the ability to do work without a significant increase in the contribution of the anaerobic lactic system.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between set rest intervals (RI) are one of the most important variables in resistance training; however, no known research has investigated the effects of RIs greater than 5-min during strength training (>85% of 1RM). The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of three different RIs (2, 5, and 8-minute) on training volume (kg, sets x reps x resistance) and repetition sustainability during a high-intensity bench press exercise (> 85% of 1RM). Fifteen resistance trained males (mean+sd, age = 26+5 yr, height = 161+6 cm, body mass = 79+6 kg, bench press 1RM ratio = 1.39+0.1) completed 3 experimental sessions, during which 4 sets of the bench press were performed with 85% of a 1RM load. During experimental sessions, the bench press was performed with a 2, 5, or 8-minute RI in a random counterbalanced design. Data was analyzed using both a one and two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. As sets progressed, repetitions were significantly different (p

Download or read book The Acute Effects of Active Recovery During High intensity Interval Training on Lactate Clearance and Sprint Performance in College aged Students written by Mark Ian Flury and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of exercise used to counter the effects of obesity. HIIT consists of low volume, but increased intensity in a short period of time followed by a relative recovery period, which can be active or passive. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of different recovery modalities and durations between high-intensity interval training on lactate clearance, sprint performance, heart rate, and the rating of perceived exertion. METHODS: Forty students participated in the study [(Age: 21.9 +/- 0.3 years; Height: 172.6 +/- 1.6 cm; Weight: 79.4 +/- 2.4 kg; Body Fat %: 18.1 +/- 1.3 (BodPod)]. Subjects were randomly assigned into recovery conditions (modality x duration) which was one of four groups: active recovery for 10 minutes (AR10), active recovery for 5 minutes (AR5), passive recovery for 10 minutes (PR10), or passive recovery for 5 minutes (PR5). The exercise protocol consisted of 3 total maximal-effort sprints each followed by the assigned group recovery phase. Each sprint trial covered a 75-foot distance between a starting line and wall, in which each subject sprinted down to the wall and back to the starting line a total of 3 times, for a total of 450 feet per sprint trial. Following each sprint trial, sprint time, blood lactate concentration, heart rate, and the rating of perceived exertion were recorded. RESULTS: There was significant main effect on blood lactate concentrations seen from recovery modality across all the trials ( p = .038, eta2 = .088). The mean difference across the trials for blood lactate concentration when comparing the active recovery modality to the passive recovery modality was -1.51 mmol/l ( p = .038, 95% CI [-2.92, -0.86]). There was only a significant interaction effect between the trials and recovery duration on blood lactate concentration (p = .002, eta2 = .118). Only an interaction effect between the trials and recovery duration on the rating of perceived exertion was found (p = .034, eta2 = .065). No main or interaction effects were found for either sprint times or heart rate. CONCLUSION: Active recovery is more beneficial for lactate clearance when compared to passive recovery during high-intensity interval training. The effect of recovery duration on lactate clearance and sprint performance must be further investigated.

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused on muscle hypertrophy. Readers will find up-to-date content so they fully understand the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to designing training programs. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, a leading authority on muscle hypertrophy, this text provides strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors with a definitive resource for information regarding muscle hypertrophy—the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and current nutrition guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers: • Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date. • Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development. • Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s utility as a reference tool. • An image bank containing most of the art, photos, and tables from the text allows instructors and presenters to easily teach the material outlined in the book. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this text allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy in their athletes and clients. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs in the text show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for strength and conditioning professionals seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains and those searching for the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current research in the field.

Download or read book The Effect of Total Work Performed During Acute Heavy Resistance Exercise on Circulating Lymphocytes in Untrained Men written by Neil A Kelly (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lymphocytes are one of many leukocytes which exert a biphasic response to acute intense resistance exercise. Exercise volume (i.e. total work) has been shown to have an immunomodulatory effect. This study evaluates the effect of total work performed during an intense resistance exercise protocol on lymphocyte concentrations in the circulation. Untrained, college-aged (18-35) males who performed high amounts of work (HW) were compared to those who performed low amounts of work (LW). Resistance exercise testing consisted of 6 sets of 10 repetitions of the squat exercise with 2 minutes rest between sets. Both HW and LW performed the same relative intensities (~60% 1RM) throughout the test. At 15 min post-exercise the HW group displayed a significantly higher amount of NK cells in circulation when compared to the LW group. No significant differences were found between groups for any other lymphocytes or physiological responses (i.e. lactate, heart rate), however, both groups suffered lymphocyte suppression 60 min post-exercise. Differing strength levels and thus varied total work performances during a relative acute heavy resistance exercise bout did not result in differences in the time course or pattern of immunomodulation during recovery from exercise. Elevations in NK cell concentrations in the HW group point toward an influence of total work on differential NK cell recruitment patterns in males.
Download or read book Eccentric Exercise written by Hans Hoppeler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eccentric muscle contraction, during which a muscle lengthens while under tension, is a fundamental process of human movement but a surprisingly under-researched area of exercise science. Evidence suggests that training programmes which incorporate both eccentric and concentric contractions can result in greater strength gains than concentric contractions alone, and this clearly has important implications for training and rehabilitation in sport and health. In Eccentric Exercise, leading international sport scientist Hans Hoppeler introduces the fundamental physiology and pathophysiology of eccentric muscle work, and explores the key applications of eccentric exercise in sport, rehabilitation and health. The book examines the molecular mechanisms responsible for tissue and organismic adaptations and discusses eccentric muscle-related pathology, specifically delayed onset muscle soreness. It assesses the use of eccentric exercise training in the treatment of certain disease states such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart insufficiency and sarcopenia, while a concluding chapter points to open research questions, shows the limits of the available data and highlights problems with current exercise modalities. This book is important reading for all sport and exercise scientists, clinicians working in rehabilitation, and high-level strength and conditioning coaches and trainers.

Download or read book Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.
