متن کاملModerate dose of watercress and red radish does not reduce oxygen consumption during graded exhaustive exercise
Objective: Very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. This research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and red radish (Raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test following a standard Bruce protocol controlled...

Introduction: The dynamics of oxygen after exercise is considered as an important indicator of fitness and cardiovascular health. The objective of this study was to compare the dynamics of oxygen consumption in the recovery period after two maximum exercise continuous and interval in female basketball players. Methods: In this study,7 women basketball players were selected and in three separat...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Peak Oxygen Consumption and Pulmonary Function Indices: Measured by Spirometry and Allometry Equation in Male Students
Purpose: Allometry is a method to express the relationship between physiological and anatomical variables. It can be used to measure the vital capacity through mathematical equations. This study aimed at evaluating lung function indices to estimate the maximal aerobic power by respiratory gas analysis device and the allometric equation. Methods: This study was a descriptive and correlational r...
متن کاملCardiovascular changes in the exercising emu.
Cardiovascular variables were studied as a function of oxygen consumption in the emu, a large, flightless ratite bird well suited to treadmill exercise. At the highest level of exercise, the birds' rate of oxygen consumption (VO2) was approximately 11.4 times the resting level (4.2 ml kg-1 min-1). Cardiac output was linearly related to VO2, increasing 9.5 ml for each 1 ml increase in oxygen con...
