Open AccessSubgroup effects in a randomised trial of different types and doses of exercise during breast cancer chemotherapy
The Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Trial tested different types and doses of exercise in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Here, we explore potential moderators of the exercise training ...

Intense hypoxic cycle exercise does not alter lung density in competitive male cyclists
We tested the hypothesis that intense short duration hypoxic exercise would result in an increase in extravascular lung water (EVLW), as evidenced by an increase in lung density. Using computed tomography (CT)...

Aerobic and anaerobic energy during a 2-km race simulation in female rowers
The maximal aerobic power (V˙O2max) and maximal anaerobic capacity (AODmax) of 16 female rowers were compared to their peak aerobic power (V˙O2peak) and peak anaerobic capacity (AODpeak, respectively) during a s...

Altitude Training for Improvements in Sea Level Performance
Altitude training invokes physiological changes that are very similar to those caused by endurance training. As a result, it has been incorporated in the training regimes of elite athletes in an effort to impr...

Ventilatory thresholds during wheelchair exercise in individuals with spinal cord injuries
The ventilatory thresholds of 30 male wheelchair athletes were determined from their respiratory and metabolic responses to a continuously progressive exercise protocol to peak oxygen uptake on a wheelchair er...

Chapter
Inborn Resistance to Hypoxia in High Altitude Adapted Humans
Whereas the theme of these chapters aims to unravel mechanisms of adaptation to the environment, most of our analyses to this point have focused more on the mechanisms and less on adaptation per se. At least a...

Chapter
Surfactant Association: Recent Theoretical and Experimental Developments
A theoretical model describing the association of ionic surfactants into rod-shaped micelles is combined with an approximate formula for the viscosity increase induced by rod-shaped aggregates. It is shown tha...

The Role of Biomechanics in the Epidemiology of Injuries
In this paper a review of the epidemiology of both traumatic and overuse injuries is presented with special emphasis on the role of biomechanics. Biomechanical analysis of injuries and the specific sports has ...

Scintigraphic Uptake of 99mTc at Non-Painful Sites in Athletes with Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are commonly found in athletes attending sports medicine clinics for diagnosis of lower limb pain. Plain radiographs are less reliable than the 99mTc bone scan for diagnosing stress fractures bec...

Perturbation of Micellar Size and Charge by Addition of t-Amyl Alcohol
We have investigated the influence of dilute tertiary amyl alcohol (t-AmOH) on micellar size and charge by dynamic light scattering using two related surfactant/salt systems: CTABr (C16H33N(CH3)3-Br) + NaBr, and ...

Article
Cardiac frequency and anaerobic threshold
The relationships between anaerobic threshold (AT) and cardiac frequency (fc) were examined in trained and untrained subjects. Thirty-three men (ages 17 to 28) performed a maximal treadmill run, with one minut...

Specificity of metabolic and circulatory responses to arm or leg interval training
The purpose of this study was to evaluate metabolic and circulatory responses to interval training of legs or arms during steady-state, submaximal cycling. 15 college males cycled on a bicycle ergometer twice ...
