▼ This thesis examines the regulation of muscle function following
exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), in an attempt to determine whether regulation occurs primarily in the muscle (neuromuscular) or further upstream. Upstream regulation has been hypothesized to occur in the lower brain structures, but one may assume that the efferent output to the muscle should be guided by the motor and pre-motor cortex alongside other associated cortical areas.

▼ In humans, it is thought that both central commands and peripheral feedback from sensory
receptors contribute to the control of locomotion. An important problem that exists in
human locomotion research is the interactions and balance between the individual
contributions of the central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems to the control
of muscles during movement are not fully understood. Applying external perturbations
such as stretches, tendon taps, and electrical stimulation to the neuromuscular system
during walking can help us learn more about how the response to afferent information is
modulated during locomotion. To date, most of the research looking at modulation of the
response during walking has investigated the soleus and quadriceps muscles. Very little
research has focused on the hamstring muscles, which are important during walking,
particularly during late swing. One reason for this is that it is difficult to detect
H-reflexes in hamstrings following electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve. The
purpose of this study was to demonstrate a new sciatic nerve stimulation technique and
use it to study the modulation of the response to afferent feedback during walking.
This study consisted of two parts: 1) Establish the presence of an afferent mediated
response (H-reflex) during prone lying in hamstrings muscles, and 2) Investigate the
modulation of this afferent feedback during walking. Subjects underwent single and
double pulse stimulations to the sciatic nerve during prone lying, followed by
electrical stimulation at 12 different phases of the gait cycle. For each phase,
stimulus response curves were created in which maximal direct (M-wave) and afferent
mediated responses (H-reflex) could be determined. Maximal H-reflex (Hmax) was
normalized to maximal M-wave (Mmax) to create an H:M ratio that was used to compare
modulation of the responses between phases and subjects. Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve elicited detectable H-reflexes in biceps
femoris during prone lying and walking. The modulation of the response to afferent
feedback is not the same for all phases of the gait cycle, particularly in late swing
when it has a higher amplitude than the rest of the gait cycle. This modulation was not
simply related to background EMG as would be expected during isometric contractions.
Thus, there must be both central and peripheral influences on the response.
Understanding the control of human locomotion is important for developing rehabilitation
programs for patients with lesions of the central nervous system such as stroke or
spinal cord injury.

▼ PURPOSE: To compare potential differences in mechanical and physical characteristics of knee flexors and extensors in collegiate male soccer players following different warm up protocols.
METHODS: Sixteen collegiate male soccer players (20.33 ± 1.33 years, 176.97 ± 6.72 cm, and 78.43 ± 7.42 kg) participated in this study. A small sided games warm up (SSG), a dynamic warm up (DYN), and a plyometric warm up (PLY) were completed using a randomized crossover design. Tensiomyography (TMG) was used to assess contraction time (Tc), delay time (Td) and maximal displacement (Dm) of the rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) of both legs before (PRE) and after (POST) each warm up. POST assessment included: TMG of the RF and BF, countermovement jump height (CMJ-h), CMJ flight time (CMJ-ft), 20m sprint time (20m), T-test time, and sit and reach (SR) distance. All TMG measures were analyzed using a three-way [condition × time x leg] analysis of variance (ANOVA). All performance variable data were analyzed with a repeated measures ANOVA.
RESULTS: There was no difference between warm up protocols for T-test, CMJ-h, or CMJ-ft. 20m significantly improved following SSG (p=0.020) compared to DYN and PLY. SR was significantly greater following PLY (p=0.022). Three-way ANOVA did not reveal a significant interaction for any of the measured TMG variables. However, main effects of time were seen PRE to POST for BF-Tc (p=0.035), RF-Td (p < 0.001) and BF-Td, (p=0.008) and a main effect of condition was seen for RF-Tc (p=0.038).
CONCLUSION: Warm-up specific improvements were demonstrated in sprint speed and flexibility measures following SSG and PLY, respectively. While no differences were shown between the examined protocols, the present study revealed PRE to POST changes in certain TMG measures (RF-Td, BF-Td, and BF-Tc) following a warm up in male collegiate soccer athletes.

▼ The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effects of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) and beta-alanine supplementation on performance in recreationally active men. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: hypoxia + beta-alanine (HB, n = 10), hypoxia + placebo (HP, n = 9), normoxia + beta-alanine (NB, n = 11) and normoxia + placebo (NP, n = 8). All participants completed a total of 8 training sessions (each consisting of 3 sets of 5 × 10-s sprints at a resistance of 7.5% of body mass, with 20-s rest intervals between sprints) over 4 weeks on a cycle ergometer either in hypoxia (Oxygen fraction: FiO2 = 14.2%) or normoxia (FiO2 = 20.9%). Participants were instructed to consume a daily dosage of 6.4g (two 800 mg tablets ingested 4 times per day at 3-4 hour intervals) of either beta-alanine or placebo. Changes in performance in a graded
exercise test (GXT), repeated sprint test (RST) and 3-min all-out test (3MT) were examined before and after 28-days of training and supplementation. Aerobic performance was measured by maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), peak power output (PPO).
Exercise intolerance was assessed from critical power (CP), oxygen consumption (VO2RCP) and power output (PRCP) at respiratory compensation point.
Exercise capacity was measured by total work (TW) during 3MT. Anaerobic capacity was evaluated via anaerobic working capacity (AWC), heart rate response to RST (RST_HR60) and lactate responses to RST (RST_La) and 3MT (3MT_La). Repeated sprint performance was estimated through average power output of the last sprint (RST_AP5) and all sprints (RST_AP). No between-group differences were observed for training volume or supplementation compliance. Anthropometric and hematological measures remain unchanged before and after intervention in all groups. A main effect of altitude was shown for VO2RCP, PRCP, RST_AP5, RST_HR60, and TW, with post-intervention values in the hypoxia groups significantly (p < 0.05) higher (lower for RST_HR60) than the normoxia groups. A main effect of beta-alanine was detected in AWC, with post-intervention values in the beta-alanine groups being significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the placebo groups. Results of this investigation demonstrated that RSH and beta-alanine benefit performance from different perspectives. RSH improved aerobic performance,
exercise tolerance, cardiovascular recovery and
exercise capacity, while beta-alanine supplementation maintained anaerobic working capacity in recreationally-trained men during the four-week repeated sprint training intervention.

▼ Previous research has investigated the use of music as an ergogenic aid for
exercise performance; however, the effect of music on
exercise may differ between individuals of varying levels of mental toughness (MT). Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of MT on the effect of listening to music during
exercise. Methods: The current study used a counter-balanced design, utilizing a mixed-methods approach. Thirty-one recreationally-active individuals (22.13 ± 2.11 yrs, 1.73 ± .10 m, 75.68 ± 14.67 kg, 42.89 ± 5.31 mL·kg·min-1; 65.5% males) were recruited for this study. Participants completed an initial visit to complete a MT questionnaire and create a personalized music playlist of at least 15 songs. Participants completed two familiarization trials and a VO2max test on the treadmill, all on separate days. The experimental trials consisted of two separate conditions: 1) no music (NM); and 2) self-selected music (SSM). For each experimental trial, participants performed a time-to-exhaustion (TTE) run at 80% of their VO2max, separated by at least 48 hours, followed by a post-study interview. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to investigate relationships between performance variables and MT. Moderated regression analysis was used to determine a potential order effect, as well as a potential moderating effect of MT on change in performance between NM and SSM groups. Linear regression analysis was used to determine a potential relationship between MT and change in performance between NM and SSM groups. An alpha level of p ≤ 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. All qualitative data from post-study interviews was transcribed, coded, and categorized into primary themes. All statistical analyses was conducted via the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software for Windows version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Results: Averages were calculated for MT (156.39 ± 9.38), TTE
SSM (14.18 ± 4.79 minutes), and TTENM (12.23 ± 5.24 minutes). Correlations were found between VO2max and TTESSM, TTENM, and MT (r = 0.390, p = 0.030; r = 0.519, p = 0.003; r = 0.404, p = 0.024; respectively). Moderated regression analysis revealed a non-significant interaction between MT, music, and order, indicating no order effect (β = -0.416, p = 0.735). Independent samples t-tests revealed no significant difference in MT, performance, or VO2maz between groups of participants who received music first or music second, indicating no effect of order (F = 0.388; p = 0.538; F = 0.537; p = 0.470; F = 0.070; p = 0.794; respectively. Moderated regression analysis, via linear regression, determined no significant moderating effect of MT on the change in performance between trials (ΔTTE) (F (3, 58) = 0.958, r = 0.217, p = 0.498). Linear regression, however, revealed a significant main effect of MT, indicating an inverse relationship between MT and ΔTTE (F (1, 29) = 4.417, r = -0.634, p = 0.044). Discussion: The results from the current study indicate that greater levels of MT were associated with less…

▼ Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen consumed while running at a submaximal intensity. Along with aerobic capacity (VO2max), RE is an important predictor of running performance. Little research has investigated changes in RE with restricted breathing training [i.e. controlled breath-holding (CFB)] during
exercise. RE may improve ~6% amongst a novice swimming cohort through CFB training, but this has not been established in elite swimmers. The purpose was to further establish that CFB training (16 sessions of 12 x 50-m with ~15 seconds rest between each 50-m, using only ~2 breaths per 50-m) can improve RE in 25 elite college swimmers. CFB training did not alter RE. The day-to-day variability in RE (mL/kg/km), energy cost (kcal/kg/km), and VO2max (L/min) was between 2.4 – 3.4%. There was no association between RE (range = 182 to 224 mL/kg/min) and 200 yard freestyle swimming performance (range = 104 to 129 seconds).

▼ Controlled frequency breath (CFB) holding is a swim training modality that involves holding one’s breath for ~12 strokes before taking another breath. We looked to examine the effects of CFB training on pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO). Elite swimmers (n = 25) were divided into either the CFB or a group that breathed regularly, every ~3rd stroke. The training intervention included 16 sessions of 12 x 50-m repetitions with either breathing pattern. Approximately 60% of the males and ~20% of the females were above the upper limits of normal for diffusing capacity at baseline. However, neither DLNO nor DLCO was altered after ~4 weeks of training. The CFB and control group exhibited no differences for any of the chosen parameters following intervention. In conclusion, DLNO and DLCO is unaffected by a four week period of CFB training.

▼ Strength adaptations from short-term resistance training are thought to be related primarily to neurological adaptations. Considering brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) role in the nervous system, it is possible that BDNF has a role in these adaptations. Fourteen untrained males were randomized into either a resistance training (RT; n =8) or control (CON; n=6) group. Motor unit (MU) recruitment at 50% and 80% of each participant's maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), muscle cross sectional area (CSA) and thickness (MT), as well as one-repetition maximum (1RM) of the squat (SQT), leg press (LP), and leg extension (LE) were performed before (PRE) and after (POST) the training period. Following the MU assessment, the recruitment threshold (RT; % MVIC) and mean firing rate (MFR; pulse per second [pps]) of each MU were determined. Linear regression was used to quantify the slope (pps/% MVIC) and y-intercept (pps) of the MFR versus RT relationship for each participant and time point. Participants completed an acute resistance
exercise bout at PRE and POST consisting of 3 sets of 8 – 10 repetitions with 90 seconds of rest between each set of SQT, LP, and LE. Blood samples were obtained following a 4-hour fast before (BL), immediately-(IP), and one-(1H) hour post resistance
exercise. RT subjects performed the same resistance
exercise protocol at PRE twice a week for 3-weeks. CON subjects were instructed to not perform any resistance
exercise. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis was determined by the trapezoidal method. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to examine selected bivariate relationships. The ΔBDNF AUC was significantly correlated to the relative 80% Δy-intercept (r=-0.626, p=0.030), and trended to be correlated to the relative 80% Δslope (r=0.551, p=0.063). Our results indicate that Δ in plasma BDNF concentrations appear to be related to Δ's MU recruitment at high intensities (80% of MVIC) of
exercise.

▼ The primary purpose of this study was to compare the metabolic influence of varying work-to-rest ratios during upper body sprint interval training (SIT). Forty-two recreationally trained men were randomized into one of three training groups [10s work bouts with two minutes of rest (10:2, n = 11) or four minutes of rest (10:4, n = 11), or 30s work bouts with four minutes of rest (30:4, n = 10)] or a control group (CON, n = 10). Participants underwent six training sessions over two weeks with four to six 'all-out' sprints. During pre- and post-intervention visits, participants underwent a graded
exercise test to determine maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and peak power output (PPO), four constant-work rate trials to determine critical power (CP), anaerobic working capacity (W'), and electromyographic fatigue threshold (EMGFT), and an upper body Wingate test to determine peak power (PP), mean power (MP), and total work (TW). Oxygen consumption and blood lactate during the Wingate test generated estimates of oxidative, glycolytic, and ATP-PCr energy system provisions. An analysis of covariance was performed on all testing measurements collected at post with the associated pre-values used as covariates. VO2peak was greater in 30:4 (p = .007) and 10:2 (p = .036) compared to CON and PPO was greater in 30:4 than CON (p = .007). No differences were observed between groups in CP (p = .530), W' (p = .900), EMGFT (p = .692), PP (p = .692), MP (p = .290), or TW (p = .291). Relative energy contribution (p = .026) and energy expenditure (p = .019) of the ATP-PCr energy system was greater in 10:4 compared to CON. SIT protocols with larger work-to-rest ratios induce enhanced aerobic adaptions, whereas smaller work-to-rest ratios may enhance ATP-PCr utilization in the upper body over a short-term two-week intervention.

▼ Blood flow restriction (BFR) in combination with
exercise has been shown to result in favorable effects on skeletal muscle mass and function. However, most protocols have used an arbitrary pressure or they have based the restrictive pressure off of brachial systolic blood pressure, which is not a valid predictor of arterial occlusion in the lower body. This study sought to determine the most effective low load protocol with and without different degrees of BFR (determined based on limb circumference) and determine how it compares to higher load (HL) resistance
exercise. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare acute skeletal muscle changes following differing resistance
exercise protocols. In addition, the perceptual response to each of those protocols was investigated. METHODS: Participants completed five separate visits. On the first visit, participants: 1) completed paperwork; 2) were screened further for eligibility (Blood Pressure; BMI); 3) completed one repetition maximum testing on the knee extension; and 4) were familiarized with the BFR stimulus. Following the first visit, participants were randomly assigned to either group A, group B, or group C. Within each group, the participants were further randomized into which condition they completed first, second, third, and fourth. The conditions included three
exercise conditions and one control condition. During each visit, participants had their muscle thickness and circumferences measured on their non-dominant leg. Following this, their dominant leg was prepped for electromyography (EMG). Participants completed a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) with their dominant leg, rested for five minutes, and then completed the protocol designated for that day. The protocols within Group A included HL
exercise at 70% 1RM,
exercise at 20% 1RM with 40% estimated arterial occlusion (20%/40 BFR),
exercise at 30% 1RM with 40% estimated arterial occlusion (30%/40 BFR), and a non-
exercise control (CON). The protocols within Group B included
exercise to failure at 30% 1RM,
exercise at 20% 1RM with 50% estimated arterial occlusion (20%/50 BFR),
exercise at 30% 1RM with 50% estimated arterial occlusion (30%/50 BFR), and a non-
exercise CON. The protocols within Group C included
exercise to failure at 20% 1RM,
exercise at 20% 1RM with 60% estimated arterial occlusion (20%/60 BFR),
exercise at 30% 1RM with 60% estimated arterial occlusion (30%/60 BFR), and a non-
exercise CON. The 70% 1RM protocol was completed with one minute rest between sets. All other protocols were separated by 30s rest. In addition, after every set of
exercise, RPE and discomfort were quantified. During the CON conditions, participants sat in the knee extension device for ~5.5 minutes to mimic the estimated time to complete a normal
exercise bout. A comparison across groups was plotted and visually examined to descriptively compare conditions when effect sizes were unable to be calculated (i.e. EMG, perceptual responses). RESULTS: Forty-five physically active males passed initial…

▼ This study focused on the pronator-flexor mass of the elbow and its role in the overhead throwing motion. This specific muscle group is responsible for primary pronation and flexion at the elbow joint, while also reducing valgus stress from compromising the ulnar collateral ligament.
Twenty-three participants were put through a short throwing progression that was focused on their velocity and overall distance thrown from a standing position. After baseline testing was completed participants underwent a short intervention to determine if the intervention would impact all dependent variables. Experimental and non-experimental groups were compared using a repeated measures ANOVA which found no statistically significant difference.
The hypothesized relationship between the flexor-pronator group strength and the elbow range of motion would have resulted in increased overall valgus stability of the UCL due to an active warm-up which, in turn, would have increased pitching velocity and distance. This theoretical improvement would not only have decreased the possibility of injury as well as pain but improved the individual's overall functionality.

▼ The current study examined the incidence of non-response to a traditional 30:240 s sprint interval training (SIT) protocol, as well as for 2 modified SIT protocols of 15:120 s, and 5:40 s over 4 wk of training in 84 recreationally active males and females (52m, 32f). Pre- and post- testing measures included: aerobic capacity (V̇O2max), aerobic performance (5-km time trial), and anaerobic capacity (30 s sprint). Non-response was determined using 2x typical error for each variable. Chi square analysis indicated a significant difference (P = 0.032) in the frequency of non-responders for aerobic performance where the 30:240 group had significantly fewer non-responders than both modified groups (30:240 – 30%, 15:120 – 59%, 5:40 – 65%). There was also a significant difference (P = 0.037) in the frequency of non-responders for time to peak speed where the 30:240 group had significantly more non-responders than both modified groups (30:240 – 87%, 15:120 – 52%, 5:40 – 65%). There was no significant difference (P > 0.095) for all other measures (aerobic capacity: 30:240 – 36%, 15:120 – 61%, 5:40 – 59%; peak speed: 30:240 – 52%; 15:120 – 78%, 5:40 – 52%; average speed: 30:240 – 83%, 15:120 – 83%, 5:40 – 70%; minimum speed: 30:240 – 91%, 15:120 – 87%, 5:40 – 78%). These results suggest that these SIT protocols produce similar improvements to aerobic capacity, indicating that modified SIT protocols can be a viable training method to improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). However, when examining more running performance-related variables, different SIT protocols can induce different magnitudes of adaptation, as it appears SIT protocols with longer sprint and rest durations benefit longer distance performance (i.e., 5 km), while those SIT protocols with shorter sprint and rest durations benefit short distance performance (i.e., 30 s sprint).

▼ We investigated the acute testosterone response to four different resistance-training protocols. We observed testosterone levels pre-workout, immediately post-workout, and 60-minutes post-workout following a bout of upper body
exercise at 70%,1 RM, 90% 1 RM, and lower body
exercise at 70% 1 RM and 90% 1 RM. Total training volume was held constant but all amount of weight, sets, and reps were different. 10 healthy, male, resistance trained individuals volunteered for the study. The performed each
exercise condition on separate days. Capillary blood was taken via finger prick at the time points specified above. Blood samples were analyzed via Accubind Testosterone ELISA and we found that immediately post-workout following the upper body and lower body moderate intensity (70% 1 RM) workouts testosterone was significantly higher compared to pre-workout (p < 0.05). Following the high intensity (90% 1 RM)
exercise protocol testosterone levels were elevated but not statistically significant (p > 0.05). We concluded that 70% 1 RM is a large enough stimulus to observe a significantly higher testosterone response post-workout. 90% 1 RM has been shown previously to be enough of a stimulus, however, this current study did not support those findings.

▼ Purpose: One purpose of this study was to assess changes in body composition throughout an off-season of two consecutive seasons, by measuring changes in body mass, fat mass, and lean body mass before and after a 16-week off-season training program. The second purpose of this study was to assess changes in macronutrient composition. Methods: 46 male college football players participated in this study during Season-1. 29 male college football players participated in this study during Season-2. A pre-test, post-test study design tracked body composition from post-season through offseason. Results: Significant changes in lean mass were not observed during the offseason training program. Surprisingly, the change in muscle area at the 66% site of the lower leg significantly increased in area. Total body mass and body fat did not change during the off-seasons. Conclusion: No significant changes in total body lean mass and leg lean mass were observed during a 16-week offseason training program. Because of the low number of participants, comparisons across groups, linemen and skill players, and upper- and lower-classmen were not made. Surprisingly, the change in muscle area at the 66% site of the lower leg significantly increased in area, an indication that the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle increased in mass. A significant difference in macronutrient composition was only found in fat consumption.

▼ Objective: To measure the physical activity levels of Division I collegiate female soccer players with the use of accelerometers to help determine compensatory changes and help establish appropriate training rhythms through the course of a season. Design: 25 female Division I soccer players volunteered to participate in a 7-day observational study. Players wore an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer during waking hours. Five second epochs were recorded and age appropriate physical activity cut points were used to determine the minutes of sedentary time (ST), light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during each day as well as during practice and outside of practice. Results: ST was significantly greater during days of no practice compared to all other days of the week. VPA and MVPA were also lowest on non-practice days. LPA showed no significant difference between all days when looking at time spent out of practice. When looking at practice time only, there was no significant difference between practice sessions and ST, LPA, MVPA, and VPA. This resulted in the idea that the coach’s perception of the physical demands within a practice session were not significantly apparent. Conclusion: The use of accelerometers can be used to help measure the activity intensities of soccer athletes throughout the course of a week. Utilizing the accelerometers for an entire season may provide additional information to be used for designing training programs. With the addition of other technology (heart rate and global positioning system (GPS)), there could be a greater sense of training load experienced for each athlete both on and off the field. Compensatory changes in activity was not observed through the collection of the data in this study.

▼ The prevalence of obesity is rapid across the world. Knowledge of the actual energy expenditure (EE) of walking and running can lead to a more precise
exercise prescription which may lead to an obesity reduction or avoidance. Limited research has focused on EE during walking and running. Therefore, the aims of this study included developing ethnic based cross validated EE prediction equations for African American, Asian and Caucasian adults, and a multiple regression equation developed that included all three ethnic groups. Also, the energy expenditure among these three ethnic groups was compared. A total of 224 subjects, including 71 Caucasians, 68 African Americans and 85 Asians were recruited to test EE through indirect calorimetry. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for over- all significance with post Hoc Scheffe test to compare EE in three groups (normal weight walkers, overweight walkers and runners). Multiple regression analysis was employed for EE prediction, and a dependent t-test and chow statistical test were used to cross-validate. The results showed that EE in runners was significantly higher than that in normal weight walkers in African Americans. When EE was expressed relative to body weight, similar difference was observed between walkers and runners in both African Americans and Asians. When EE was expressed relative to fat free mass, normal weight walkers expended less energy than runners, both among African Americans and Asians. Furthermore, EE in African Americans was significantly higher than that in Caucasians and in Asians. Three EE prediction equations were developed specifically for African Americans, Asians, and the three ethnic groups. Through cross-validation, all the three equations were valid and they were all recommended to apply for calculating EE during walking or running one mile. The overall prediction equation was: EE=0.978 bw-4.571 gender (m=1, f=2)+3.524 ethnicity (Caucasians=1, AA=2, Asians=3)+32.447 (r=0.77; see=12.5 kcalâ·mile-1).

▼ The purpose of this study was to compare the muscular strength and hypertrophic response following a four week training intervention involving resistance
exercise utilizing only eccentric muscle contractions with, or without blood flow restriction (BFR), as well as a control group maintaining their current training regimen. Sixteen young male volunteers were recruited to participate in this study. Prior to the training intervention, subjects attended three sessions in order to obtain demographic information (age, height, body mass) and familiarize each of the participants with the testing and training equipment. After the familiarization session, muscular strength was assessed via elbow flexion one repetition maximum (1-RM), defined as maximal weight successfully lifted throughout concentric range of motion (ROM), and by grip strength dynamometer. Additionally, upper-arm muscle CSA (cross-sectional area) was assessed using an estimation equation derived from the circumference and skinfolds. Subjects were then randomized into three training conditions, eccentric resistance training only (ECC), eccentric resistance training with BFR (OCC), and a control training group (CON). Following training, results indicated a significant increase in both right and left grip strength, but not elbow flexion strength for the group as a whole. However, there was no significant difference between groups for any of the strength variables. Muscle CSA increased significantly following training for the group as a whole, but no significant difference was found between groups. The findings of the current study indicate that the addition of BFR to eccentric resistance
exercise does not provide superior muscle strength nor size adaptations compared to eccentric resistance training without BFR, or regular resistance training.

▼ Resistance
exercise eliciting muscle damage results in an immune response, leading to increases in circulating cytokines, and immune cell mobilization. Classical monocytes respond to muscle damage, however, little is known about the intermediate or nonclassical monocyte response to resistance
exercise. Moreover, the impact of polyphenol supplementation in conjunction with resistance
exercise on the innate immune response is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the immune response following resistance
exercise with (PPB) and without (PL) polyphenol supplementation. Thirty-nine untrained men were randomized into three groups: PPB (n=13, 21.8±2.5yrs, 171.2±5.5cm, 71.2±8.2kg), PL (n=15, 21.6±2.5yrs, 176.5±4.9cm, 84.0±15.7kg) or a control group (CON) (23.3±4.1yrs, 173.6±12.0cm, 77.8±15.6kg). Blood samples were obtained pre- (PRE), immediately- (IP), 1- (1H), 5- (5H), 24- (24H), 48- (48H) and 96- (96H) hours postexercise (PPB/PL). CON rested for one hour between PRE and IP blood draws. Changes in granulocyte and monocyte subset proportions and adhesion characteristics (CD11b) were assessed via flow cytometry, while plasma cytokine concentrations and markers of muscle damage were analyzed via multiplex and spectrophotometric assays, respectively. Creatine Kinase and myoglobin were elevated at each time point for PPB and PL (p < 0.050). Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 was significantly elevated at IP in PPB (p = 0.005) and PL (p = 0.006) and significantly greater than CON at 5H (PPB: p < 0.001; PL: p = 0.006). Granulocyte proportions were elevated at 1H (p < 0.001), 5H (p < 0.001) and 24H (p = 0.005; p = 0.006) in PPB and PL, respectively. Classical monocyte proportions were lower in PPB (p = 0.008) and PL (p = 0.003) than CON at IP, and significantly greater than CON at 1H (PPB: p = 0.002; PL: p = 0.006). Nonclassical monocyte proportions were significantly greater in PPB (p = 0.020) and PL (p = 0.028) than CON at IP. Intermediate monocyte proportions were significantly greater in PPB (p = 0.034) and PL (p = 0.001) than CON at IP, and significantly lower than CON at 1H (PPB: p = 0.003; PL: p = 0.008). Intermediate monocyte proportions were also significantly greater in PPB than CON at 24H (p = 0.016) and 48H (p = 0.007). At PRE, CD11b expression was significantly lower in the PPB group than CON and PL for intermediate (p = 0.017; p = 0.045) and nonclassical (p < 0.001, p = 0.019) monocytes, respectively. When groups were combined, CD11b expression was significantly elevated from PRE at IP (p < 0.001) and 1H (p = 0.015) on granulocytes. CD11b expression on classical monocytes was significantly elevated compared to PRE at 1H (p < 0.001), 5H (p = 0.033) and 24H (p = 0.004) when groups were combined. CD11b expression on intermediate monocytes was significantly elevated compared to PRE at 1H (p < 0.001) when groups were combined. Intermediate and nonclassical monocyte proportions also showed significant positive correlations with markers of muscle damage (r = 0.361 to 0.775, p < 0.05). Results indicated that…

▼ [EU]Tesi honek ausazko entsegu kliniko bat barnehartzen du. Helburu nagusia ariketa fisikoan oinarritutako hiru esku-hartze desberdinen (osagai anitzeko ariketa fisikoko esku-hartzea, dual-task esku-hartzea, eta oinez ibiltzeko esku-hartzea) eraginkortasuna aztertzea da hirugarren adineko egoitzetan bizi diren adineko pertsonetan. Osagai anitzeko ariketa fisikoko eta dual-task esku-hartzeek funtzio fisikoa hobetu zuten arren, lehenengoak bakarrik hobetu zituen hauskortasuna eta afektibitate egoera. Emaitza horiek dual-task esku-hartzearen konplexutasuna eta bertaratze txikiagoarekin batera, ondorioztatzen dugu esku-hartze mota horrek ez duela onura gehigarririk ekartzen hirugarren adineko egoitzetan bizi diren adineko pertsonetan osagai anitzeko ariketa fisikoko esku-hartzeei dagokienez. Bestalde, osagai anitzeko ariketa fisikoko esku-hartzeak eta ibiltzeko esku-hartzeak parte-hartzaileen afektibitate egoera eta bizi-kalitatea hobetu bazuten ere, osagai anitzeko ariketa fisikoko taldeak hobekuntza handiagoak izan zituen funtzio fisikoan, baina era berean, ibiltzea, nahikoa izan zen parte-hartzaileen funtzionaltasuna mantentzeko. Esku-hartzeek ez zuten serumeko BDNF kontzentrazioan aldaketarik eragin. Arestian aipatutakoa kontutan hartuta, ondorioztatu dezakegu hiru esku-hartzeak eraginkorrak direla hirugarren adineko egoitzetan bizi diren adineko pertsonen funtzionaltasuna mantentzeko eta/edo hobetzeko frogatu dugu

▼ The extent of skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to resistance training is highly variable in humans. To explain the nature of this variability, we focused on the myogenic stem cell population, the satellite cell (SC) as a potential mediator of hypertrophy. Twenty-three males (aged 18-35yrs) underwent 16wk of progressive, whole body resistance training, resulting in changes of 7.9%±1.6 (range of -1.9 – 24.7%) and 21.0%±4.0 (range of -7.0 to 51.7%) in quadriceps volume and myofibre cross-sectional area (CSA) respectively. The SC response to a single bout of resistance exercise (80% 1RM), resulted in an expansion in type one fibre associated SC (MHCI-SC) content of 43.7%±10.4 24h post-exercise pre-training, that shifted, post-training, to an increase in type two fibre associated SC (MHCII-SC) content of 47.6%±21.2 72h post-exercise. Analysis of individual SC responses revealed a correlation between the relative change in MHCII-SC content between 24-72h pre-training and the percentage increase in quadriceps lean tissue mass assessed by MRI (r=0.663, p=0.001). The proportion of SC co-localized with MSTN decreased progressively in the acute time-course following exercise and correlated with SC expansion between Pre-24h (r=0.563, p=0.012) and Pre-72h (r=0.454, p=0.045) in the pre- and post-training time-courses. In conclusion, the SC response to exercise appears to become more specific with training; while individual capacity to invoke the SC response is predictive of training induced muscular hypertrophy and may be limited by the degree of MSTN co-localization.

▼ Physical activity (PA) during pregnancy has been shown to be safe and effective for improving maternal and infant health; however, only 23% of pregnant women
exercise in accordance with guidelines. PURPOSE: To determine if the distribution of evidence-based educational resources as well as access to community resources will increase PA levels as well as knowledge/beliefs about PA during pregnancy. METHODS: Participants (8-12 weeks) completed assessments concerning their activity levels, as well as knowledge/beliefs regarding PA, during pregnancy. Next, participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention (IG) or control group (CG). The IG received educational information regarding PA during pregnancy, as well as access to local fitness facilities. At the end of pregnancy (32-39 weeks), all baseline assessments were repeated. RESULTS: Seventy-one women participated in the study (IG: 40, CG: 31). Fourteen women in the IG utilized PA services (prenatal yoga: 11, gym setting: 6, both: 3). There were no differences in step counts or knowledge/beliefs regarding PA between groups. The IG spent less time pushing during labor compared to the CG (p=0.05). CONCLUSION: The intervention was unsuccessful at increasing PA levels to a significant degree. Future interventions should be more involved in order to have a substantial impact on PA-related outcomes; thus, educational materials and community resources are not enough to increase PA levels during pregnancy.

▼ Australian football is a dynamic team sport, which requires players to perform a large number of high-intensity efforts, combined with low-intensity activities throughout a match. Due to the complex and unique demands of the sport, players require an adequate training stimulus to develop and enhance the physical qualities required to succeed at the highest level. The ability to develop physically challenging but appropriate training at an individual level to 1) enhance the technical and physical qualities required, and 2) minimise the negative response to training (i.e. injury, illness, etc.) is a crucial task for practitioners involved in the preparation of elite players.
The cost of injury in elite sport is substantial, with player availability seen as a key factor in the success or failure of any professional sporting organisation. It is typically suggested that teams with higher injury rates are more likely to be negatively impacted through poor team performance, compared with teams with lower injury rates. If injuries (particularly non-contact, soft-tissue injuries) can be considered ‘largely’ avoidable, then the role of workload becomes a key component in any sporting organisation to manage and minimise the risk of injury.
The notion that workload and injury are interrelated is well established, yet the cost of injury remains significant at the professional level of Australian football. The overall aim of this program of research was to use scientific literature to understand the relationship between workload, injury, and performance in elite Australian football players and then improve the understanding of workload management and modelling of workload variables measured using a commercially available microtechnology unit. The program of research in this thesis first produced a comprehensive literature review to identify the current problem (s). The six subsequent chapters of original research built on the literature review to examine, in elite Australian football, (1) a previously suggested fitness-fatigue model on injury risk, (2) the importance of pre-season training on in-season availability, (3) the use of relative speed zones to model workload at an individual level, (4) a newly proposed fitness-fatigue model, (5) the differences between fitness-fatigue models in an applied setting, and finally (6) the application of a training monitoring system on injury rates.
A previously-established monitoring tool, the acute:chronic workload ratio, was used to quantify the relationship between workload and injury in a cohort of professional Australian football players. The size of the acute workload in relation to the size of the chronic workload was calculated as an acute:chronic workload ratio. A very high acute:chronic workload ratio (i.e. > 2.0) for total distance was associated with a 5 to 8- fold increase in injury risk during the season. Similarly, players with a high-speed running acute:chronic workload ratio of > 2.0 were 5-11 times more likely to sustain an injury in both the current…

▼ Sprint performance can be enhanced by interventions for short-term (acute) purposes and/or long-term purposes. Acute neuromuscular responses are usually achieved by using different pre-
exercise routines at the end of the warm-up period. Recently, there have been several studies examining the effects of various pre-
exercise routines on sprint performance, yet there has not been a research study designed that compared the three most commonly used pre-
exercise routines in professional and recreational sports (static stretching, dynamic stretching and foam-rolling). Therefore, this study investigated and compared the results of static stretching, dynamic stretching, self-myofascial release and the control group, in order to provide some general findings in this field of sport performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different pre-
exercise routines on 60-meter sprint performance. Moreover, the study investigated whether static stretching impairs sprint performance. Ten students from a Midwestern U.S. University were recruited to participate in this study, with 8 participants successfully finished the study. Each participant underwent all four intervention protocols in a randomized order. A repeated measures ANOVA statistical analysis indicated a significant main effect with post-hoc testing comparing 60-meter sprint results for each pre-
exercise protocol did not show statistical significance amongst the selected values: SS time - DS time, SS time - CG time, SMR time - DS time, SMR time - CG time, and DS time - CG time (p=0.061; p=0.259; p=0.356; p=0.111; p=0.265; respectively). However, comparing the results from the SS group and the SMR group showed that the SMR had a significantly greater effect than the SS (p=0.024), The findings of this study indicate that using self-myofascial release is a more beneficial pre-
exercise protocol for improving 60-meter sprint performance than either static or dynamic stretching. . Additionally, the results suggest that static stretching does not impair 60-meter sprint performance compared to a control group.

▼ Introduction: Moderate-intensity aerobic
exercise has been shown to attenuate the rise in triglycerides in during the postprandial period, however the effects of acute bouts of high-intensity
exercise on postprandial lipemia and glycemia have not been explored. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of acute high-intensity interval training on postprandial lipemia and postprandial glycemia.
Methods: Ten healthy males participated in a randomized crossover design consisting of one high-intensity
exercise session and one sedentary control session, followed by consumption of a mixed meal. Blood triglyceride and glucose concentrations were monitored following the consumption of the meal.
Results: High-intensity interval
exercise produced a lowering effect (p
Conclusion: Postprandial glycemia, but not lipemia, was effected by acute high-intensity interval
exercise. Future studies should explore any prolonged effects of high-intensity
exercise on postprandial lipemia and glycemia.

▼ Skeletal muscle fatigue is a multifactorial process that leads to decrements in the force generating capacity of the neuromuscular system. During a maximal unilateral and bilateral contraction, complex interactions occur along the length of the neuromuscular system. These interlimb limb interactions occur with and without the presence of fatigue, however, it is unknown whether illusionary mirror visual feedback moderates the effects. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the influence of unilateral fatigue, with and without illusionary mirror visual feedback, on the maximal force of the fatigued and non-fatigued limb during unilateral and bilateral contraction. A secondary purpose was to examine the bilateral index and whether sex moderated the responses. Thirty healthy right-hand dominant participants (n = 15 males; 15 females) completed this study. After a familiarization session, the participants completed four experimental visits (no-mirror, mirror, non-dominant, and control) in a pseudo-randomized order. The fatigue protocol required the participants to perform nine, 20 second maximal unilateral handgrip contractions. This protocol was performed with (mirror) and without (no-mirror) illusionary mirror visual feedback with the dominant hand. The fatigue protocol was also performed with the non-dominant (non-dominant) hand without mirror visual feedback. Maximal strength and electromyographic (EMG) amplitude of the flexor carpi radialis and extensor carpi radialis were collected for both hands during unilateral and bilateral contractions before and after the fatigue protocol. The relative change (%Δ) in maximal strength and EMG amplitude was compared between visit, contraction, and sex. The bilateral index was also compared between hands and sex. The main findings show that: 1) bilateral force loss was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than unilateral force loss during the no-mirror and non-dominant visit, but not during the mirror visit (p > 0.05), 2) there were no significant (p > 0.05) changes in maximal force for the contralateral, non-fatigued hand during maximal unilateral contractions, yet there was for the bilateral contraction following the non-dominant visit (p < 0.05), 3) there was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in EMG amplitude for the non-fatigued flexor carpi radialis during the mirror visit, 4) there was a significant (p < 0.05) bilateral deficit and it was greater for the dominant hand compared to the non-dominant hand (p < 0.05), and 5) sex did not have a significant influence on any of the comparisons (p > 0.05). Together, these findings present several novel observations related to neuromuscular fatigue and cross-limb interactions.

▼ Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally. One of the most effective forms of prevention and treatment is physical activity. However, recent studies have suggested that resistance
exercise can increase arterial stiffness. Maintaining adequate strength is critical for performing activities of daily living, occupational-related tasks, and sport movements. The purpose of this project was to determine if novel combinations of resistance and aerobic
exercise could offer musculoskeletal benefits without adverse cardiovascular consequences. In Study 1, we examined the effect of order (i.e. aerobic before resistance, or resistance before aerobic) on arterial stiffness when combining these
exercise modes in a single training session. In Study 2, we compared the effects of acute eccentric and concentric arm cycling on central and peripheral arterial stiffness. Eccentric arm cycling is a unique combination of resistance and aerobic
exercise. We hypothesized that these novel combinations of resistance and aerobic
exercise would not cause arterial stiffening as observed in resistance
exercise alone. In Study 1, we concluded performing resistance before aerobic to be the more beneficial
exercise order in terms of arterial stiffness. In Study 2, we found that eccentric arm cycling reduces arterial stiffness in the arm, but not centrally. Collectively, our results suggest that the key to reducing the negative effects of resistance
exercise on arterial function is to combine it with aerobic
exercise, either first within a single session or simultaneously.

▼ Walking metabolic rate prediction equations are commonly used to estimate oxygen consumption,
exercise intensity and energy expenditure across a wide range of ages and anthropometrics. Despite their widespread use, independent validations of these equations using metabolic data from a large number of individuals are uncommon. PURPOSE: To assess the accuracy of the commonly used ACSM and Pandolf walking metabolic rate prediction equations, along with two new walking metabolic rate predictions equations developed by Weyand et al. and Browning et al., using data from a large number of adults. METHODS: We used demographic, anthropometric, walking speed, and oxygen consumption data from several laboratories (N = 450 (164 Males, 286 females), 18-85 years old, 16.5-44 kg/m2). We estimated oxygen consumption using each prediction equation in 1,078 walking trials ranging from 0.55-2.18 m/s, and 0.5-12% grade. Comparisons between predictive methods were made for all walking trials, as well as among normal weight participants during level and gradient walking, and overweight and obese participants during level and gradient walking. We computed the mean prediction difference (MPD) as the difference between predicted vs. measured rates of oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) for each trial, and examined the relationship between the MPD and measured oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) using modified Bland-Altman plots. Linear regression was used to determine the intercept (fixed bias) and slope (proportional bias) for each equation. The absolute value of the mean prediction difference, and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values were also calculated for each equation and population. RESULTS: For level walking, all prediction equations had mean prediction differences that were statistically different from zero (P ≤ 0.05) except for the Browning et al., equation when applied to normal weight individuals and the Pandolf equation when applied to overweight and obese individuals. Most importantly, all prediction equations had significant (P ≤ 0.05) fixed and proportional bias, and demonstrated large RMSE (7.8-23.5% of mean measured metabolic rate) that were similar across equations and population. In addition, prediction error increased as measured metabolic rate increased for all equations. CONCLUSION: The metabolic prediction equations evaluated here each had considerable error when compared to measured values, regardless of the population in which the equation was created and/or validated. Improvements in prediction equations may require using approaches that aim to minimize RMSE and/or developing population/intensity specific equations.

▼ Assessment of morphological vascular responses to exposure to cardiovascular risk factors in experimental animals requires ex vivo experiments that do not allow assessment of the time course of vascular alterations in individual subjects. We used a slit-lamp biomicroscope (resolution < 1 μm) to photograph the long posterior ciliary artery (LPCA) of the iris in conscious normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY, n=10) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, n=10) on normal-salt diet (NS) and in SHR (n=10) on high-salt diet (HS). The same segment along the LPCA was imaged in consecutive weekly imaging sessions and an imaging software was used to determine the wall to lumen (W/L) ratio. After 10 weeks, systolic blood pressure (SBP) did not change in WKY-NS, but increased significantly in SHR-NS and SHR-HS, (p < 0.05). The time course of the changes in W/L ratio of the LPCA mirrored the time course of the SBP changes. While W/L ratio did not change in WKY-RS, there was a significant increase in W/L ratio in SHR-NS and SHR-HS. Since the LPCA was not dilated pharmacologically the W/L ratio assessed in this study may reflect the combination of morphologic alterations and changes in vascular tone. In vivo imaging of the LPCA may allow assessment of the time course of morphological and functional vascular responses to hypertension in conscious rats.

▼ Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is a persistent cause of time lost in sports that involve high speed running. Clinicians working with sports injuries are therefore often faced with the task of HSI rehabilitation, with the simultaneous aims of minimising time to return to play (RTP) and risk of re-injury. Following rehabilitation and RTP clearance, previously injured hamstrings display elevated risk of re-injury likely, in part, due to persistent deficits in eccentric knee flexor strength and biceps femoris long head (BFlh) fascicle length. Elevated re-injury risk and persistent deficits in hamstring muscle structure and function suggest inadequacies in current rehabilitation practices. The overarching aim of this program of research was to attempt to improve HSI rehabilitation practices.
The aim of chapter 3 was to systematically review criteria used to guide HSI rehabilitation progression and determine RTP clearance. The review identified a wide variety of criteria, which were used to progress HSI rehabilitation across the nine included studies. By far the most common guideline was to only perform and progress HSI rehabilitation in the complete absence of pain, despite the fact that such recommendations have never been compared to an alternative approach. Objective criteria were rarely implemented as part of rehabilitation progression and RTP decision making, especially where knee flexor strength was concerned. Three of the nine studies did implement isokinetic dynamometry as an objective measure of knee flexor strength, which is a lab-based methodology rarely available to clinicians dealing with HSI rehabilitation. As such, the need to develop objective measures of knee flexor strength, which could be implemented by clinicians during HSI rehabilitation, was identified.
The primary aim of chapter 4 was to establish the test re-test reliability of a novel apparatus capable of objectively measuring knee flexor strength during a range of hamstring exercises commonly implemented during HSI rehabilitation. Secondary to this, chapter 4 aimed to investigate whether this apparatus could identify between-leg deficits in previously injured hamstrings during these exercises. The apparatus displayed moderate to high test re-test reliability for isometric knee flexor strength (ICC = 0.87 to 0.92), peak rate of force development (RFD) during isometric contraction (ICC = 0.87 to 0.95) and mean force impulse during the eccentric slider exercise (ICC = 0.83 to 0.90). Previously injured hamstrings displayed large deficits (d range = -0.88 to -1.09) in mean force impulse during the unilateral eccentric slider isometric knee flexor strength and peak RFD. The novel apparatus provides clinicians with an objective tool to monitor knee flexor strength during exercises commonly implemented throughout rehabilitation.
Further to improving objective measures of knee flexor strength, chapter 5 aimed to provide clinicians with exercise-specific guidelines for the progression of a HSI rehabilitation protocol with an…

▼ Acute lower body exercise elicits adverse effects on balance performance and subsequent fall risk. However, little information exists for upper body exercise and postural sway. The series of experimental studies presented in this thesis investigated the effects of acute upper and lower body exercise on postural sway in healthy young and older adults and determined whether the acute negative effects of exercise can be removed by an improvement in training status. Chapter 4 examined the effects of maximal and submaximal (absolute and relative exercise intensities) arm crank ergometry (ACE) and cycle ergometry (CE) on postural sway in young healthy adults. Cycling elicited an immediate increase in post exercise postural sway whereas ACE did not. Chapter 5 compared the effects ACE, CE and treadmill walking (TM) on postural sway in healthy older adults. Based on the findings of Study 1, submaximal exercise was performed at the same relative intensity (50 % HRE). In agreement with Chapter 4, CE and TM elicited post exercise balance impairments lasting for ~ 10 min post exercise. ACE performed at the same relative intensity as the lower body did not elicit post exercise balance impairments in older adults. Collectively, these acute studies suggest that lower limb exercise may acutely increase fall and injury risk in the immediate period after exercise cessation. This is important because practitioners and clinicians should acknowledge that the prescription of conventional training modes might potentially elicit transient impairments in neuromuscular function. However, in this context it appears that seated exercise with the arms may not induce a significant enough stimulus to cause sensorimotor disturbance to postural stability and thus may be a safer alternative exercise mode for fall risk populations or individuals who are very sedentary. Chapter 6 examined differences in balance performance, as measured by quantitative posturography and functional balance tests, among different age groups. Measures of postural sway were able to distinguish between younger (< 60 years) and older ( > 60 years) adults whereas functional performance tests suggested that balance impairments were observed earlier ( > 50 years). This study enabled a range of tests to be determined for use with subsequent training interventions. Chapter 7 examined the effects of 6-weeks upper or lower body exercise training on postural sway. Upper and lower body training elicited similar improvements in specific (~ 25 %) and cross transfer (~ 12 %) exercise tolerance. Both modes of training elicited favourable balance adaptations. Specifically, upper body training improved mediolateral aspects of postural sway, while lower body training improved anteroposterior aspects of sway. It was proposed that an improvement in cross transfer exercise capacity after upper body exercise reduced the physiological strain experienced during CE, thus reducing post exercise balance impairments and that an increase in abdominal and trunk strength from upper body exercise training…
