Comparison of non-maximal tests for exercise prescription and outcome assessment
(2017-12)
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 ...
Measuring the talk test as a continuous as opposed to a categorical variable
(2014-12)
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 ...
Cross validation of Rockport II
(2015-05)
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 ...
Effects of wearing a cold vest on caloric expenditure
(2017-05)
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 ...
Effect of warm-up on VO2 kinetics during heavy exercise
(2009-06-10)
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 ...
Analysis of the effect of prusik climbing and indoor rock climbing on heart rates
(2015-05)
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). ...
Heart rate response and energy cost of log rolling
(2015-03)
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 ...
Energy cost of wearing Titin compression gear during exercise
(2015-03)
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 ...
Translation of the talk test to exercise prescription
(2010-05-03)
In exercise prescription, intensity is the most difficult variable to define. Intensity is defined by %HRmax or % of maximal METS. An alternative method of measuring exercise intensity is the TT (Talk Test). The purpose ...
The development, implementation, and evaluation of the Logan Strides, an eighth-grade after-school program at Logan Middle School, La Crosse, WI
(2017-08)
This graduate project details the development, implementation, and evaluation of a sixweek Logan Strides program, for the Logan Middle School in La Crosse, WI. The program was borne out of adolescent and community need. ...
