White suckers are important both ecologically and economically as baitfish. Wild white suckers and baitfish suckers are affected by viral diseases. In 2010, the La Crosse Fish Health Center (LFHC) isolated a novel virus ...

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 ...

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of the Elevation Training Mask on maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and performance variables. 25 subjects (13 mask, 12 control) completed a 6-week high intensity cycle ergometer ...

Introduction: The Rockport Fitness Walking Test is a submaximal test that predicts V02ma" to be used in fitness assessment and exercise prescription. This test requires subjects to walk at a brisk pace. However the ability ...

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 ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the kinetics and kinematics of running in HOKA shoes to standard shoes. Sixteen subjects (8 male, 8 female) who ran at least 6 miles per week and had not had a lower extremity ...

Maximal oxygen consumption (VOzmax) is considered the gold standard reference for the evaluation of aerobic metabolism. Emerging evidence suggests that ventilatory threshold (VT) is a better way to prescribe exercise ...

The ElliptiGO is a hybrid between a bicycle and an elliptical cross-trainer and is meant to be used outdoors. The purposes of this study were to 1) to determine the relative exercise intensity of exercise on the ElliptiGO, ...
