Biomechanical and physiological responses to rowing 1000 m at a power output equivalent to a 2000 m race were compared in 34 collegiate rowers (17 women, 17 men) rowing on a stationary and dynamic Concept 2 ergometer. Stroke ratio, peak handle force, rate of force development, impulse, and respiratory exchange ratio decreased by 15.7, 14.8, 10.9, 10.2 and 1.9%, respectively, on the dynamic ergo...

hemorheology specialists believe that athletes of different sport fields have different hemorheological patterns. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sport field on hemorheological variables following acute aerobic exercise. athletes were divided into three groups of 15 subjects (endurance runners: mean±sd: age 24.6±5.2 yr, bf% 6.8±1.6, bmi 21±1; football players: age 22.5±1....

BACKGROUND Exercise testing has become an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of restrictive lung disease. The reproducibility of variables measured during exercise testing was examined in subjects with stable restrictive lung disease. METHODS Six subjects, who had never previously undergone exercise testing, each underwent three maximal incremental exercise studies on a bicycle erg...
