The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of 4 months of different training modalities on power, speed, skill and anaerobic capacity in 15-16 year old male basketball players. Thirty five Lithuanian basketball players were randomly assigned into three groups: power endurance group (intermittent exercise, PE, n = 12), general endurance group (continuous exercise, GE, n = 11) and contr...

While the physiological adaptations that occur following endurance training in previously sedentary and recreationally active individuals are relatively well understood, the adaptations to training in already highly trained endurance athletes remain unclear. While significant improvements in endurance performance and corresponding physiological markers are evident following submaximal endurance...

While some studies have demonstrated that respiratory muscle endurance training (RMET) improves performances during various exercise modalities, controversy continues about the transfer of RMET effects to swimming performance. The objective of this study was to analyze the added effects of respiratory muscle endurance training (RMET; normocapnic hyperpnea) on the respiratory muscle function and...

Speed, heart rate, lactate and uric acid alterations led to reduced performance and hamper the health status of endurance horses. The aim of this study was to investigate on the effects of speed, heart rate, lactate and uric acid on the performance of Arabian horses during a 120 km endurance race. One hundred and eighty four Arabian endurance horses were physically examined and blood samples we...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES There are very few studies that have investigated the muscle strength and endurance of upper limbs (UL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We undertook this study to measure and compare the skeletal muscle strength and endurance of UL in COPD patients and age matched healthy controls and to study the association between lung function parameters and UL muscl...

In older previously sedentary individuals endurance training imposes a more effective stimulus to enhance cardiometabolic health compared with resistance or sprint training. We examined the effect of replacing a portion of endurance training with combined resistance and/or sprint training and how this influences cardiometabolic health indicators in masters endurance cyclists. Twenty-seven well-...

as the middle-aged in the society as well as stress-induced cognitive disorders and dementia are increasing, sport is identified as a suitable solution to prevent disorders in central nervous system. the aim of the present study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of strength and endurance training on bdnf. for this purpose, 150 male wistar rats participated in endurance training (running wit...

objectives: investigating the effect of endurance training program onthe gait pattern of non-active elderly people. methods & materials: this study has been done by a semi-experience method with 23 old men and women by the average and standard deviation of 70/50±6/9 years old (n=14 people of exercise group, n=9 people of control group). the exercise group took part in this program for eight wee...

conclusions independent of the training sequence, an 8-week concurrent training program caused positive changes in the body composition and physical fitness of our aged female subjects. however, there was no benefit derived from sequence order training. results the intra-session sequence order did not influence the adaptive response of the waist-to-hip ratio (p = 0.55), body fat percentage (bf ...
