The study purpose was to prove the effectiveness of zumba exercise on VO₂max, agility, and muscle power in students at Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri, East Java, Indonesia.
 Materials methods. This research is a pre-experimental design with One group Pretest-Posttest Design. A total 15 female from Student Activity Unit aerobic dance Indonesia, aged 19–24 years, body mass index (BMI) 19....

PURPOSE To develop a sailing ergometer that accurately simulates upwind sailing exercise. METHODS A sailing ergometer that measures roll moment accompanied by a biofeedback system that allows imposing a certain quasi-isometric upwind sailing protocol (ie, 18 bouts of 90-s hiking at constantly varying hiking intensity interspersed with 10 s to tack) was developed. Ten male high-level Laser sai...

Fitness and health are important aspects that must be owned by a person. One of the things is cardiovascular fitness (cardiorespiratory) because it known to affect individual levels for person, measurements can expressed maximum oxygen volume (VO2max). factors cause heart disease low cardiorespiratory fitness. The purpose this study was determine relationship between body mass index, macronutri...

nurse specialist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Wash. lengths in the red and infrared spectra through an optical fiber to illuminate the blood. The red blood cells absorb various amounts of light depending on the amounts of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin that are present. The light reflected by the blood cells is transmitted through a second optical fiber to the photodetector, wh...

Changes in performance parameters over four consecutive maximal incremental cycling tests were investigated to determine how many tests can be performed within one single day without negatively affecting performance. Sixteen male and female subjects (eight trained (T): 25 ± 3 yr, BMI 22.6 ± 2.5 kg·m(-2), maximal power output (P(max)) 4.6 ± 0.5 W·kg(-1); eight untrained (UT): 27 ± 3 yr, BMI 22.3...

The increase in nuclear magnetic resonance transverse relaxation time (T(2)) of muscle water measured by magnetic resonance imaging after exercise has been correlated with work rate in human subjects. This study compared the T(2) increase in thigh muscles of trained (cycling VO(2 max) = 54.4 +/- 2.7 ml O(2). kg(-1). min(-1), mean +/- SE, n = 8, 4 female) vs. sedentary (31.7 +/- 0.9 ml O(2). kg(...

We determined whether a low-fat diet reduces intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) concentration, whole body lipolyis, total fat oxidation, and calculated nonplasma fatty acid (FA) oxidation during exercise. Seven endurance-trained cyclists were studied over a 3-wk period during which time they exercised 2 h/day at 70% of maximum O2 uptake VO(2 max) and consumed approximately 4,400 kcal/day. During...
