UNLABELLED Regular exercise training improves maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), but the optimal intensity and volume necessary to obtain maximal benefit remains to be defined. A growing body of evidence suggests that exercise training with low-volume but high-intensity may be a time-efficient means to achieve health benefits. In the present study, we measured changes in VO2max and traditional car...

PURPOSE Investigate the physiological responses and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) in elite karate athletes and examine the relationship between a subjective method (Session-RPE) and two objective heart-rate (HR)-based methods to quantify training-load (TL) during international karate competition. METHODS Eleven karatekas took part in this study, but only data from seven athletes who comp...

Manchado C, Pers J, Navarro F, Han A, Sung E, Platen P. Time-motion analysis in women’s team handball: importance of aerobic performance. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 376-390, 2013. Women’s handball is a sport, which has seen an accelerated development over the last decade. Data on movement patterns in combination with physiological demands are nearly nonexistent in the literature. T...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility of individualized workload increments, as used in adults, for exercise testing in children; and to investigate whether this individualized protocol makes it possible to satisfy the usual criteria for maximal exercise (clinical exhaustion, predicted maximum heart rate [HRmax], oxygen uptake [O(2)] plateau, maximal respiratory exchange ratio > 1.1). DES...

This study investigated the physiological difference in recreational runners between a noncontinuous and a continuous endurance training protocol. It also aimed to determine physiological surrogate that could monitor metabolic demand of prolonged running in real-time. For data collection, a total of 18 active male recreational runners were recruited. Physiological (HR, RR, RER, ṼO2, BLa), and o...

Recent evidence supports the use of certain soccer drills for combined technical and physical training. Therefore, it is important to be able to accurately monitor training intensity during soccer drills intended for physical development to allow the optimization of training parameters. Twenty-eight professional soccer players were assessed for heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (...

We investigated the exercise intensity and fitness effects of frequent school-based low-volume high-intensity training for 10 months in 8-10-year-old children. 239 Danish 3rd-grade school children from four schools were cluster-randomised into a control group (CON, n = 116) or two training groups performing either 5 × 12 min/wk small-sided football plus other ball games (SSG, n = 62) or interva...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of concurrent training on rbp4 andinsulin resistance levels in obese middle-age men. for this purpose, 20 obese middle-age men voluntarily participated in this study and were assigned to concurrent training group (n=10, mean age 51.2 ± 2.25 yr and bmi 31.44 ± 0.81 kg/m²) and control group (n=10, mean age 50.3 ± 2.11 yr and bmi 30.32 ± ...

Povzetek. Sodobne organizacije se spreminjajo zelo pogosto. Spremembe se poskuša izvesti hitro in učinkovito. Spremembe pogosto vključujejo spremembe IS zaradi njegovega pomena v organizacijah. Odpor do sprememb spada med ključne dejavnike uspeha večjih projektov in programov IT. Obvladovanje odpora ne pomaga organizacijam zgolj izvesti spremembe hitreje in učinkoviteje, temveč je hkrati tudi p...
