The aim of the study was to examine how the training surface (i.e., clay or carpet) affects the characteristics (i.e., ball velocity, running pressure, running volume, and physiological responses) of a tennis training session. Ten competitive healthy and nationally ranked male tennis players (mean ± SD: age 24.2 ± 1.7 years, weight 81.4 ± 7.6 kg, height 1.88 ± 0.05 m, body mass index 23.1 ± 1.8...

We tested the hypothesis that the work of the heart was not a limiting factor in the attainment of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). We measured cardiac output (Q) and blood pressures (BP) during exercise at two different rates of maximal work to estimate the work of the heart through calculation of the rate-pressure product, as a part of the ongoing discussion regarding factors limiting VO2 max...

abstract: this research was done to determine the effect of using l-carnitine and selected exercises on aerobic capacity and blood lactate. in this study 30 unathletes students of shahid rajaee university took part with the age of 22/63±1/75, height: 176 cm, weight 71/33±1 and bmi: 23/17±2/6. subjects randomly divided into 3 groups, control group who were doing the selected exercises, experimen...

PURPOSE To examine acute responses and recovery of serum hormones and muscle force following combined strength (S) and endurance (E) loading sessions in which the order of exercises is reversed (ES vs. SE). METHODS This cross-over study design included recreationally endurance trained men and women (age 21-45 years, n = 12 men n = 10 women) who performed both loadings. Maximal bilateral isome...
