Download or read book Optimization of Exercise Countermeasures for Human Space Flight Lessons from Terrestrial Physiology and Operational Implementation written by Tobias Weber and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human spaceflight has required space agencies to study and develop exercise countermeasure (CM) strategies to manage the profound, multi-system adaptation of the human body to prolonged microgravity (μG). Future space exploration will present new challenges in terms of adaptation management that will require the attention of both exercise physiologists and operational experts. In the short to medium-term, all exploration missions will be realised using relatively small vehicles/habitats, with some exploration scenarios including surface operations in low (<1G) gravity conditions. The evolution of CM hardware has allowed modern-day astronauts to return to Earth with, on average, relatively moderate levels μG-induced adaptation of the musculoskeletal (MS) and cardiovascular (CV) systems. However, although the intense use of CM has attenuated many aspects of MS and CV adaptation, on an individual level, there remains wide variation in the magnitude of these changes. Innovations in CM programs have been largely engineering-driven, with new hardware providing capability for new modes of exercise and a wider range of exercise protocols, which, in turn, has facilitated the transfer of traditional, but effective, terrestrial concepts based around high frequency resistance (multiple-set, multiple repetition) and mediumintensity continuous aerobic training. As a result, International Space Station (ISS) CM specialists have focused their efforts in these domains, taking advantage of hardware innovations as and when they became available. However, terrestrial knowledge in human and exercise physiology has expanded rapidly during the lifetime of the ISS and, consequently, there is potential to optimize current approaches by re-examining terrestrial knowledge and identifying opportunities to implement this knowledge into operational practices. Current terrestrial knowledge in exercise physiology is the product of a large number of intervention studies in which the variables that contribute to the effects of physical activity (mode, frequency, duration, intensity, recovery) have been controlled and systematically manipulated. However, due to limited opportunities to perform intervention studies in both spaceflight analogues – head-down bed rest (HDBR) being considered the ‘gold standard’ – and spaceflight itself, it will not be possible to systematically investigate the contribution of these factors to the efficacy of in-flight CM. As such, it will be necessary to draw on terrestrial evidence to identify solutions/strategies that may be best suited to the constraints of exploration and prioritise specific solutions/strategies for evaluation in HDBR and in flight.

Download or read book If You Like Exercise Chances Are You Re Doing It Wrong written by Gary Bannister and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In If You Like Exercise... Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong, author Gary Bannister tells us that “the power-to-be have all but destroyed the value of muscle isolation, discredited the use of machines in general, ignored everything related to the work of Arthur Jones and replaced it with a ten-cent solution.” He claims that until the field of exercise defines what is true and what is not, it will never have the impact that it could. Muscle strength, the only factor that can produce human movement and the only factor that performs work, is disappearing from today’s training regimens. This study and guide analyzes current concepts and training systems-such as Pilates, “functional” training TRX, cross-training, kettlebells, and more-and compares their benefits to those of proper strength training to provide a clear picture for everyone. If You Like Exercise... Chances Are You’re Doing It Wrong rekindles the high intensity strength-training principles of Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. Bannister focuses on the concepts of intensity, form, frequency, duration, number of repetition, speed if movement, and muscle fatigue, supporting them with current research. Logically applied, proper strength training is the only system capable of satisfying all five potential benefits of exercise-an increase in strength, flexibility, cardiovascular condition, body-composition, and injury prevention.

Download or read book Exercise Physiology written by William D. McArdle and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and graduate students integrates basic introductory material into the complete picture required by the exercise specialist. The 30 text chapters are organized among 7 principal sections grouped under 2 specific text parts. The first part (3 sections), covering exercise physiology, includes: an overview of nutrients and optimum nutrition as the basis for human performance; human energy intake, transfer, and expenditure; and body systems for delivering and utilizing energy. The second part (4 sections), covering applied and exercise physiology, includes: training for enhancing energy capacity and performance; work performance and environmental stress; the interassociations among body composition, energy balance, and weight control; and exercise for reducing cardiovascular disease risk during aging. Reference data and guidelines for energy expenditure, water density, basal metabolic rate, nutritionally dense foods, meal-exercise plans, etc., are provided in 7 appendices. Copious illustrations and references are provided throughout the text.
