The purpose of the study was to compare anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity test scores between young active men and women. Three performance measures of anaerobic power and two of anaerobic capacity were administered to a sample comprising 52 male and 50 female college students (means age = 21.4 yrs). Results indicated significant differences between men and women in body height, weight and...

CrossFit is becoming increasingly popular as a method to increase fitness and as a competitive sport in both the Unites States and Europe. However, little research on this mode of exercise has been performed to date. The purpose of the present investigation involving experienced CrossFit athletes and naïve healthy young men was to investigate the relationship of aerobic capacity and anaerobic p...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of Lignosus rhinocerotis (LRS) supplementation and resistance training (RT) on isokinetic muscular strength and power, anaerobic and aerobic fitness, and immune parameters in young males. METHODS Participants were randomly assigned to four groups: Control (C), LRS, RT, and combined RT-LRS (RT-LRS). Participants in the LRS and RT-LRS groups consum...

Competitive swimming events consist of different distances from 50m to 1500m. Since the exercise intensity and the relative importance of aerobic and anaerobic energy processes vary depending on the exercise time (and thus swimming distance), training regimen should be developed in accordance to time dependent metabolic profile. To understand the time dependent metabolic profile of arm stroke (...

Acute tyrosine ingestion is thought to improve aerobic endurance, muscle strength and endurance, and anaerobic power of men undergoing severe physiologic stress. In a double-blind, crossover study, 20 men (32 ± 1 y old) underwent 2 loadcarriage treadmill sessions, 1 after taking tyrosine (150 mg/kg L-crystalline tyrosine) and 1 after taking placebo. Tyrosine dosage was based on subject weight a...

We hypothesized that the anaerobic power and aerobic power outputs during all-out runs of any common duration between 10 and 150 s would be proportional to the maximum anaerobic (E(an-max)) and aerobic powers (E(aer-max)) available to the individual runner. Seventeen runners who differed in E(an-max) and E(aer-max) (5 sprinters, 5 middle-distance runners, and 7 long distance runners) were teste...

Age related differences in anaerobic mean and peak power outputs were examined in 21 preadolescent (Tanner Stage = 1) boys (age 11.1yrs.±0.3) and 23 male adults (age 20.2yrs.±0.6). The investigation protocol included anthropometric measurements (determination of stature, body weight and fat free mass-FFM by bioelectrical impedence analysis) and the 30-s all-out Wingate anaerobic test on a cycle...

The aim of this study was to verify whether the mean percentage oxygen use in aerobic-anaerobic transition phase or isocapnic buffering (IB) lower women with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) compared healthy women, and if variable could be used as a screening biomarker for diagnosis CFS A cross-sectional conducted. Forty-four adult (22 22 healthy) performed cycle ergometer stress test gas analyse...
