Prevalence of Low Bone Mineral Density in Female Dancers
(2015)
Background and Objective While some authors report that dancers have reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporosis, others have stressed the positive effects of dance training on developing healthy ...
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
(2005)
Objective: Maximal oxygen uptake ( Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo2CR screening ...
Longitudinal modeling of adiposity in periadolescent Greek school children
(2005)
Purpose: Obesity has an etiology that is multidimensional in nature. Given the dearth of longitudinal data, we examined changes in adipose tissue (Ad) in relation to physical activity levels (PA), aerobic fitness (AF), and ...
Prediction of (V) over dotO(2max) from a new field test based on portable indirect calorimetry
(2010)
We assessed the validity and reliability of the new 15 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting laboratory treadmill test (TT) maximal oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2max)) compared to the 20 in multistage shuttle run ...
Autonomic nervous system modulation during an archery competition in novice and experienced adolescent archers
(2011)
We assessed autonomic nervous system modulation through changes in heart rate variability during an archery competition as well as archery performance by comparing novice and experienced adolescent archers. Seven novice ...
Early life mammalian biology and later life physical performance: maximising physiological adaptation
(2011)
The malleability of mammalian biology during early life, which carries considerable weight throughout the course of the lifespan, may contribute to the creation of a human phenotype ideal for prime physical performance. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
