Secondhand smoke exposure induces acutely airway acidification and oxidative stress
(2013)
Previous studies have shown that secondhand smoke induces lung function impairment and increases proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of secondhand smoke on airway ...
The effect of performance feedback on cardiorespiratory fitness field tests
(2006)
We investigated the effects of performance feedback (PF) on predicting maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using the 20 m Multistage Shuttle Run Test (MST) and 20 m Square Shuttle Test (SST). The agreement between these two ...
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
(2014)
Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ...
Respiratory and Immune Response to Maximal Physical Exertion following Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in Healthy Adults
(2012)
We assessed the cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical exertion following secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure through a randomized crossover experiment. Data were obtained from 16 (8 women) non-smoking adults during ...
Enhancing specificity in proxy-design for the assessment of bioenergetics
(2004)
The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that improved prediction of bioenergeties may be achieved when proxies are designed to simulate closely gold standard laboratory protocols. To accomplish this, a ...
Physical Fitness and Severity of Injuries in Contemporary Dance
(2009)
Limited data are available on whether different physical fitness levels are associated with injury severity in contemporary dancers. The aim of this study was to investigate this association in female dancers. Five ...
The relevance of stretch intensity and position - a systematic review
(2015)
Stretching exercises to increase the range of motion (ROM) of joints have been used by sports coaches and medical professionals for improving performance and rehabilitation. The ability of connective and muscular tissues ...
Acute and Short-term Effects of Secondhand Smoke on Lung Function and Cytokine Production
(2009)
Rationale: The acute effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) on lung function and the duration of system disruption remain unknown. Objectives: To assess the SHS effects and their duration on lung function and inflammatory markers. ...
Cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical activity following exposure to a typical smoking environment
(2010)
Objective Millions of non-smokers suffer daily passive smoking (PS) at home or at work, many of whom then have to walk fast for several minutes or climb a few sets of stairs. We conducted a randomised single-blind crossover ...
Contribution of muscular strength in cardiorespiratory fitness tests
(2006)
Aim. Reports from laboratory-based studies have revealed a relationship between resistance training and endurance performance in both trained and untrained individuals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate ...
