Novelty search is an algorithm which proposes open-ended exploration of the search space by maximising behavioural novelty, removing the need for an objective fitness function. However, we show that when applied to complex tasks, training through novelty alone is not sufficient to produce useful controllers. Alongside this, the definition of phenotypic behaviour significantly effects the strate...

The physical fitness quality is the basis of the students' comprehensive quality, and it is the essential condition of the development of individual growth. But today's school is more emphasis on the students' learning culture results instead of physical education. With the growth of the level of life, physical quality has declined. This paper expatiates the reason of contemporary students' phy...

Background Aerobic capacity has been shown to be inversely proportionate to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and there is growing evidence that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) appears to be more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in improving cardiorespiratory fitness within the cardiac population. Previously published systematic reviews in cardiovascular...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of exercise training (ET) on metabolic parameters among participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who do not improve their cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with training. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied participants with T2DM participating in the Health Benefits of Aerobic and Resistance Training in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes (HART-D) trial...

Východiska: Oblast fitness je příznačná častými změnami, objevují se nové trendy, metody nebo cviky. Současným trendem "high intensity" neboli způsob cvičení, který spojen s vysokým úsilím, intenzivními prožitky, vysokou tepovou frekvencí apod. "High-intensity" zahrnuto do více oblastí a používáno širokou sportovní veřejností. Vzhledem k rozsáhlému využívání...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the influence of a multiple injury control intervention on injury and physical fitness outcomes among soldiers attending United States Army Ordnance School Advanced Individual Training. METHODS The study design was quasiexperimental involving a historical control group (n = 2559) that was compared to a multiple intervention group (n = 1283). Interventions in the...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the comprehensive physiological alterations that take place during the combination of bench-step aerobics (BSA) and resistance exercise training. METHODS Thirty-five healthy, active women were randomly assigned to one of four groups that either a) performed 25 min of BSA only (SA25); b) performed a combination of 25 min of BSA and a multipl...

PURPOSE To compare the effects of six weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) vs continuous moderate intensity training (MIT) for improving body composition, insulin sensitivity (SI), blood pressure, blood lipids, and cardiovascular fitness in a cohort of sedentary overweight or obese young men. We hypothesized that HIIT would result in similar improvements in body composition, cardiov...
