PURPOSE: During competitive events, pacing strategies are dependent upon how an athlete feels at a specific moment and the distance of the race remaining, the Hazard Score (HS). HS has been shown to provide a measure of ...

Session Rating of Perceived Exertion (sRPE) has been used to monitor training as an alternative to traditional measures such as heart rate, blood lactate and VO2. The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of time ...

This study examined the accuracy of non-maximal tests: the Talk Test (TT), Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) extrapolation, Rockport Walking Test (RWT) and non-exercise VO2max prediction equation for predicting exercise ...

The TT (Talk Test) has been a useful tool when prescribing exercise intensity. It has been shown to have significant relationship to the Ventilatory Threshold (VT) and Respiratory Compensation Threshold (RCT). There ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to cross validate two new equations for the Rockpo1t 1-mile walking test to n1ore accurately predicted V02max and V02 at the Ventilatory Threshold (VT). Methods: Eighty-nine ...

Purpose: To determine changes in caloric expenditure and heart rate when wearing the Cool Fat Burner and the Cool Gut Buster. Methods: Twelve male (aged 20.9 ± 1.78 years) and eight female (aged 22.4 ± 2.00 years) subjects ...

Warm-up (WU) is considered an essential part of exercise training in athletic, preventative and rehabilitative exercise programs. Exactly how WU augments exercise performance is unclear. Previous studies during free range ...

This study was designed to compare mean heart rate (HR) responses in prusik climbing and indoor rock climbing. Twenty-eight college-aged participants (18-25 yrs.) were randomized into Group 1 (n = 14) and Group 2 (n = 14). ...

Log rolling vvas once a sport found only at traditional lumberjack competitions, but now has evolved into a recreational physical activity available to the public. The advent of the Key Log� has made this possible. The Key ...

The purpose this study was to determine the effects of wearing an 8 pound Titin \Veighted compressio11 shirt on heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (V02), and caloric expenditure (kcal) during exercise. Eight male and eight ...
