This study aimed to investigate the effect of RMT on ventilatory parameters, aerobic fitness and rowing ergometer performance among professional rowers in Sri Lanka. Twenty national male rowers, aged 20-35 years were grouped randomly into an experimental (n=11) a control (n=9) group. Prior study, baseline measurements functions, (VO2max) assessed by portable spirometer, 2000m 5000m Monark cycle...

Prediction models of the oxygen uptake (VO2) from electromyograms (EMG) lower limb and respiratory muscles during an incremental exercise test were examined. Healthy male adults (n=15) underwent using a cycle ergometer. To predict patterns VO2, we used type recurrent neural network, long short-term memory. The measured VO2 as training data for deep learning, two prediction input values set: mus...

Strategies to encourage exercise have led to research on cycle ergometer 'exergaming', as a means of enhancing exercise enjoyment. This research has typically prescribed the exercise intensity and used one exercise mode. The aim of this study was to compare self-selected exercise intensity on a cycle ergometer with and without exergaming modes activated. A total of 20 participants aged between ...

An “all-out” tethered running on the treadmill represents an alternative form of exercise used for the assessment of anaerobic capacity. Contrary to the well known and frequently used “all-out” test on the cycle ergometer (Wingate anaerobic test), there is a lack of information concerning the parameters of anaerobic capacity obtained from tethered running on the treadmill. The aim of our study ...

BACKGROUND Cycle ergometer training (CET) has been shown to improve exercise performance of the quadriceps muscles in patients with COPD, and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may improve the pressure-generating capacity of the inspiratory muscles. However, the effects of combined CET and IMT remain unclear and there is a lack of comprehensive assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one pati...

BACKGROUND Astronauts may have difficulty adhering to exercise regimens at vigorous intensity levels during long space missions. Vigorous exercise is important for aerobic and musculoskeletal health during space missions and afterwards. A key impediment to maintaining vigorous exercise is motivation. Finding ways to motivate astronauts to exercise at levels necessary to mitigate reductions in m...

Four subjects, whose ages averaged 24.3 years, were examined to assess the isometric component of dynamic exercise during the following 4 conditions: treadmill running, cycle ergometry, aerobic exercise following a video, and during hip extension exercise (lunges). The isometric component of exercise was characterized by examining heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), muscle fatigue, oxygen ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex condition, characterized by severe disabling fatigue with no known cause, no established diagnostic tests, and no universally effective treatment. Several studies have proposed symptomatic treatment with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) supplementation. The primary endpoint was to assess the effect of...
