Comparison of prolonged exercise tests at the individual anaerobic threshold and the fixed anaerobic threshold of 4 mmol.l(-1) lactate.
International journal of sports medicine1982n=19114 influential citationsProlonged physical exercise tests (50 min) at the threshold of 4 mmol . l-1 lactate (ATc) and at the individual anaerobic threshold (IAT) were applied in 19 rowing athletes. In each of the rowers (n = 19) work loads corresponding to the…
Submaximal exercise in persons with stroke: test-retest reliability and concurrent validity with maximal oxygen consumption.
Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation200495 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>To establish the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity with maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) for 3 submaximal exercise tests in persons with chronic stroke: (1) submaximal treadmill test, (2) submaximal cycle…
Self-reported symptoms and exercise-induced asthma in the elite athlete.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise2001n=15885 influential citations<h4>Purpose</h4>The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported symptoms for exercise-induced asthma (EIA) to postexercise challenge pulmonary function test results in elite athletes.<h4>Methods</h4>Elite athletes (N = 158; 83 men…
Energy system contribution during 200- to 1500-m running in highly trained athletes.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise2001n=677 influential citations<h4>Purpose</h4>The purpose of the present study was to profile the aerobic and anaerobic energy system contribution during high-speed treadmill exercise that simulated 200-, 400-, 800-, and 1500-m track running…
Intermittent runs at the velocity associated with maximal oxygen uptake enables subjects to remain at maximal oxygen uptake for a longer time than intense but submaximal runs.
European journal of applied physiology200070 influential citationsInterval training consisting of brief high intensity repetitive runs (30 s) alternating with periods of complete rest (30 s) has been reported to be efficient in improving maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and to be tolerated well even by…
Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and C-reactive protein in men.
Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology2002n=72269 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>This study examined the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and C-reactive protein (CRP), with adjustment for weight and within weight categories.<h4>Methods and results</h4>We calculated median and adjusted…
Physiological responses to maximal intensity intermittent exercise.
European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology199267 influential citationsPhysiological responses to repeated bouts of short duration maximal-intensity exercise were evaluated. Seven male subjects performed three exercise protocols, on separate days, with either 15 (S15), 30 (S30) or 40 (S40) m sprints repeated…
Reliability and variability of running economy in elite distance runners.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise200465 influential citations<h4>Purpose</h4>To establish the typical error (TE) associated with equipment, testing, and biological variation of a running economy (RE) test in 11 elite male distance runners (VO2max 70.3 +/- 7.3 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1)), and measure the…
Effects of acute aerobic and anaerobic exercise on blood markers of oxidative stress.
Journal of strength and conditioning research200564 influential citationsThe purpose of this study was to compare oxidative modification of blood proteins, lipids, DNA, and glutathione in the 24 hours following aerobic and anaerobic exercise using similar muscle groups. Ten cross-trained men (24.3 +/- 3.8…
Validation of the Adult OMNI Scale of perceived exertion for walking/running exercise.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise200464 influential citations<h4>Purpose</h4>Concurrent and construct validity of the OMNI-Walk/Run Scale of Perceived Exertion was examined using young adult women and men (18-36 yr).<h4>Methods</h4>Concurrent validity was established by correlating OMNI-Walk/Run…
