Book Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption Response to a Bout of Resistance Exercise

Download or read book Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption Response to a Bout of Resistance Exercise written by Mark Schuenke and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To examine the excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) response following a bout of heavy resistance exercise (HRE), seven healthy males (age = 22 f 3 yr; height = 177 -+ 8 cm; mass = 83 f 10 kg, percent body fat = 10.4 f 4.2%) who weight trained recreationaly, engaged in a 31-minute bout of HRE. The bout consisted of four circuits of bench press, power cleans, and squats, selected to recruit most major muscle groups. Each set was performed using the subject's predetmnined ten-repetition maximum and continued until failure. Each set was followed by a two-minute rest interval. Oxygen consumption (Va)m measurements were obtained at regular intervals throughout the day, before and after HRE (34 h pm, 29 h pre, 24 h pre, 10 h pre, 5 h pre, immediate post, 14 h post, 19 h post, 24 h post, 38 h post, 43 h post, 48 h post). Postexercise V02 measurements were compared to the baseline measurements that corresponded with the same time of day. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed that EPOC was significantly elevated @ 5 0.05) immediately, 14.19, and 38 hours post-exercise. Mean daily V q values for both post-exercise days were also significantly elevated above the baseline day. These results suggest that EPOC duration and magnitude following HRE may exceed the EPOC produced by following moderate aerobic exercise. Furthermore, the cumulative energy expenditure as a result of EPOC following HRE may exceed the combined total energy expended during and after aerobic exercise.

Book Differences in Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption  EPOC  After Reduced Exertion High intensity Interval Training  REHIT  on the Cycle Ergometer and Rowing Ergometer

Download or read book Differences in Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption EPOC After Reduced Exertion High intensity Interval Training REHIT on the Cycle Ergometer and Rowing Ergometer written by Rasmus D. Clausen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Reduced exertion high intensity interval training (REHIT) is a form of sprint interval training (SIT) with extremely low volume that increases maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) and reduces body fat with as little as 10 minutes of exercise per session. However, REHIT is rarely studied on other modalities than the cycle ergometer, on which SIT is often associated with feelings of displeasure and low enjoyment. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in oxygen consumption (V̇O2), ventilation (V̇E), EPOC, energy expenditure (EE), and blood lactate concentration (BLa) in response to REHIT performed on the cycle ergometer and rowing ergometer. Methods: Eight habitually active men and women (age = 29 ± 9 yr) initially completed two assessments of maximal oxygen uptake at least 24 hours apart. Subsequently on two separate days, participants completed REHIT consisting of three 20 s "all-out" sprints on the cycle-ergometer (REHIT-CYC) and rowing ergometer (REHIT-ROW), followed by 60 minutes of rest during which gas exchange data and BLa were measured. Results: V̇O2 increased significantly in response to REHIT (0.18 ± 0.04 L/min vs. 1.11 ± 0.21 L/min and 0.18 ± 0.04 L/min vs. 1.35 ± 0.30 L/min, p 0.001) and remained elevated for 15 minutes post-exercise in both modalities (0.31 ± 0.07 L/min and 0.30 ± 0.06 L/min, p

Download or read book Skeletal Muscle Circulation written by Ronald J. Korthuis and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this treatise is to summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms for blood flow control to skeletal muscle under resting conditions, how perfusion is elevated (exercise hyperemia) to meet the increased demand for oxygen and other substrates during exercise, mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of regular physical activity on cardiovascular health, the regulation of transcapillary fluid filtration and protein flux across the microvascular exchange vessels, and the role of changes in the skeletal muscle circulation in pathologic states. Skeletal muscle is unique among organs in that its blood flow can change over a remarkably large range. Compared to blood flow at rest, muscle blood flow can increase by more than 20-fold on average during intense exercise, while perfusion of certain individual white muscles or portions of those muscles can increase by as much as 80-fold. This is compared to maximal increases of 4- to 6-fold in the coronary circulation during exercise. These increases in muscle perfusion are required to meet the enormous demands for oxygen and nutrients by the active muscles. Because of its large mass and the fact that skeletal muscles receive 25% of the cardiac output at rest, sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction in vessels supplying this tissue allows central hemodynamic variables (e.g., blood pressure) to be spared during stresses such as hypovolemic shock. Sympathetic vasoconstriction in skeletal muscle in such pathologic conditions also effectively shunts blood flow away from muscles to tissues that are more sensitive to reductions in their blood supply that might otherwise occur. Again, because of its large mass and percentage of cardiac output directed to skeletal muscle, alterations in blood vessel structure and function with chronic disease (e.g., hypertension) contribute significantly to the pathology of such disorders. Alterations in skeletal muscle vascular resistance and/or in the exchange properties of this vascular bed also modify transcapillary fluid filtration and solute movement across the microvascular barrier to influence muscle function and contribute to disease pathology. Finally, it is clear that exercise training induces an adaptive transformation to a protected phenotype in the vasculature supplying skeletal muscle and other tissues to promote overall cardiovascular health.

Book Military Strategies for Sustainment of Nutrition and Immune Function in the Field

Download or read book Military Strategies for Sustainment of Nutrition and Immune Function in the Field written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-05-13 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every aspect of immune function and host defense is dependent upon a proper supply and balance of nutrients. Severe malnutrition can cause significant alteration in immune response, but even subclinical deficits may be associated with an impaired immune response, and an increased risk of infection. Infectious diseases have accounted for more off-duty days during major wars than combat wounds or nonbattle injuries. Combined stressors may reduce the normal ability of soldiers to resist pathogens, increase their susceptibility to biological warfare agents, and reduce the effectiveness of vaccines intended to protect them. There is also a concern with the inappropriate use of dietary supplements. This book, one of a series, examines the impact of various types of stressors and the role of specific dietary nutrients in maintaining immune function of military personnel in the field. It reviews the impact of compromised nutrition status on immune function; the interaction of health, exercise, and stress (both physical and psychological) in immune function; and the role of nutritional supplements and newer biotechnology methods reported to enhance immune function. The first part of the book contains the committee's workshop summary and evaluation of ongoing research by Army scientists on immune status in special forces troops, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The rest of the book contains papers contributed by workshop speakers, grouped under such broad topics as an introduction to what is known about immune function, the assessment of immune function, the effect of nutrition, and the relation between the many and varied stresses encountered by military personnel and their effect on health.
