1. Five males were studied on three occasions, after oral administration of CaCO3 (control), NH4Cl (acidosis) and NaHCO3 (alkalosis), in a dose of 0.3 g/kg, taken over a 3 h period at rest. The subjects then exercised on a cycle ergometer for 20 min at 33% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max.), followed by 20 min at 66% and at 95% VO2 max. until exhaustion. 2. Endurance at 95% VO2 max. was longest w...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To analyse the relation between the longitudinal development of total serum cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and the TC/ HDL ratio and the longitudinal development of the biological parameters body fatness (SSF), lean body mass (LBM), and cardiopulmonary fitness (VO2-max). The relations were analysed with generalised estimating equations (GEE). SE...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in body fat percentage and aerobic capacity in professional soccer players, after the implementation of a specific 4-week training regimen during the transition period. Fifty-eight professional soccer players of the Greek Premier National Division were separated in experimental (n = 38) and control groups (n = 20). Body composition and maxim...

Background. Leukocyte counts may influence peripheral (micro) circulation due to changes in rheology. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between leukocyte counts and peripheral tissue oxygenation/perfusion measured with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in term and preterm neonates. Methods. In this observational study we included term and preterm neonates within th...

We examined the association between an angiogenin gene polymorphism and blood pressure (BP) at rest and in response to acute exercise before and after a 20-wk endurance-training program. Subjects were 737 normotensive and borderline hypertensive subjects (257 black and 480 white). The polymorphism was detected by PCR and digestion with AvaII, yielding an allele of 253 bp or a rare allele of 194...

Dinardi RR, Andrade CR, Ibiapina C. Effect of the Airmax Internal Nasal Dilator on Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow, Aerobic Capacity, and Rating of Perceived Exertion in Healthy Rugby Players. JEPonline 2017;20(1):92-101. Nasal dilators have been widely used by athletes to improve performance. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Airmax internal nasal dilator (IND) on the aerobic capacity...

BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia has been proposed as a risk marker in chronic heart failure, but its value as an independent prognostic is not well established. AIM To determine the prognostic value of hyperuricemia, in patients with chronic stable heart failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty six male patients with chronic heart failure, aged 62 +/- 13 years, were studied. Their election fraction was...
