چکیده

In this study we investigated the effects of age factors on physiological responses to deep water running (DWR) compared with those of treadmill running (TMR) while the water and ambient temperatures were kept in thermoneutral conditions. Fourteen young healthy non-smoker males (Age = 20.4 +/- 3.3 years, Height = 170.7 +/- 6.2 cm, Weight = 65.1 +/- 11.4 kg) and fourteen middle aged healthy non-smoker males (Age = 38.6 +/- 4.4 years, Height = 171.8 +/- 4.7 cm, Weight = 75.4 +/- 9.6 kg) were selected for the study. Two maximal tests, one on the treadmill and the other running in deep water using the Wet Vest (Lincoln life jacket) were completed by each subject. The order of trial was counterbalanced with half of the subjects in each group completing TMR first and the rest of those completing DWR first. Although the young males had significantly (P < 0.05) higher relative VO2max, HRmax than the middle aged males, there were no significant differences in absolute VO2max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), maximal ventilation (VEmax), ratings of perceived exhaustion (RPE), and peak blood lactate values between the two groups. In conclusion, the VO2max, HRmax, VEmax, and peak blood lactate value in response to DWR were significantly lower than those to TMR in both the young and the middle aged males in the thermoneutral conditions. However, there was no significant interaction between age and exercise modes other than RPE of legs at maximal efforts in the present study. We found that the decrease in the maximal physiological responses to DWR compared to TMR is not different between the young and middle aged males.

Maximal and submaximal physiological responses to adaptation to deep water running.

The aim of the study was to compare physiological responses between runners adapted and not adapted to deep water running at maximal intensity and the intensity equivalent to the ventilatory threshold. Seventeen runners, either adapted (n = 10) or not adapted (n = 7) to deep water running, participated in the study. Participants in both groups undertook a maximal treadmill running and deep wate...

Quantification of the relationships between volume and intensity of exhaustive treadmill running in active young men

ABSTRACT: Aim: Quantifying the relationship between volume and intensity as key components of training is a precise manner that is complicated for most coaches.  The aim of this study was to quantify the inverse relationships between training volume and intensity during exhaustive treadmill running among active young men. Method and Material: 32 active young men aged 21 years selected as subjec...

Maximal physiological responses to deep and shallow water running.

The maximal physiological responses to treadmill running (TMR), shallow water running (SWR) and deep water running (DWR) while wearing a buoyancy vest were compared in 15 trained male runners. Measurements included oxygen consumption (VO2 max), respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and heart rate (HR). Treadmill running elicited VO2 max and HRmax, which were higher than the peaks attained in both wa...

Bone Marrow Stromal Cells With Exercise and Thyroid Hormone Effect on Post-Stroke Injuries in Middle-aged Mice

Introduction: Based on our previous findings, the treatment of stem cells alone or in combination with thyroid hormone (T3) and mild exercise could effectively reduce the risk of stroke damage in young mice. However, it is unclear whether this treatment is effective in aged or middle-aged mice. Therefore, this study designed to assess whether combination of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (BMSCs) wit...

Prior exercise training attenuated Doxorubicin-induced hepatic oxidative stress in Wistar rats: Age-related differences

Introduction: Previous studies have confirmed the sidelong effects of Doxorubicin (DOX) on healthy tissues, but pretreatment effect of regular Aerobic exercise in restrain of hepatotoxicity induced by doxorubicin is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the pretreatment effect of regular aerobic exercise on hepatic oxidative stress induced with doxorubicin of Wistar rats in differ...
