The Physiology of Exercise

Knowledge of exercise physiology is essential for implementing strategies to develop optimal physical performance among individuals with lower limb paralysis due to spinal cord injury (SCI) . Since there can be marked neuromuscular changes, it is necessary to take into consideration specific deficits in neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory function . Indeed, physiologic responses to a...

Clinical Exercise Physiology COMPARISON OF OXYGEN UPTAKE ON-KINETIC CALCULATIONS DURING SUBMAXIMAL EXERCISE

COMPARISON OF OXYGEN UPTAKE ON-KINETIC CALCULATIONS DURING SUBMAXIMAL EXERCISE. Ross Arena, Reed Humphrey, Mary Ann Peberdy, Michael Madigan. JEPonline. 2003;6(2):1-7. The mean response time (MRT) and time constant (TC) are two oxygen uptake (VO2) on-kinetic calculations whose values are presumed to be interchangeable. This study tests the assumption of uniformity among different VO2 on-kinetic...

Effects of Integrating Physiology Lessons to Clinical and Para-Clinical Findings on Medical Students' Attitude and Motivation toward Physiology Lesson

Introduction: Applicability of theoretical material in basic sciences courses of medicine discipline plays an important role in enhancing students' motivation and interest to the lessons. This study aimed to assess the effects of integrating physiology lessons to clinical and para-clinical findings on students' attitude and motivation toward physiology lesson. Methods: This pre-experimental s...

McArdle Disease and Exercise Physiology

McArdle disease (glycogen storage disease Type V; MD) is a metabolic myopathy caused by a deficiency in muscle glycogen phosphorylase. Since muscle glycogen is an important fuel for muscle during exercise, this inborn error of metabolism provides a model for understanding the role of glycogen in muscle function and the compensatory adaptations that occur in response to impaired glycogenolysis. ...
