Article Synopsis
  • This study explored how photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) affects the time to exhaustion and energy usage in amateur athletes during treadmill running in both low oxygen (hypoxia) and normal oxygen (normoxia) conditions.
  • * It involved 11 male participants who underwent tests to measure their maximal oxygen uptake and then participated in treadmill runs under various conditions with and without PBMT.
  • * Results showed that time to exhaustion was shorter in hypoxic conditions, but PBMT increased anaerobic energy contribution in hypoxia without improving overall exhaustion times.

The total anaerobic contribution (AC) is a valid and reliable methodology. However, the active muscle mass plays an important role in the AC determination, which might influence its reliability. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of two exhaustive intensities on the reliability of the AC during a one-legged knee extension (1L-KE) exercise.

The aim of this study is to verify the influence of the intensity on muscle and hepatic glycogen depletion and recovery kinetics of Wistar rats, submitted to three acute training sessions with equalized loads. 81 male Wistar rats performed an incremental test to determine maximal running speed (MRS) and divided into 4 groups: baseline group (Control; 9); low intensity training session (G; 24; 48 minutes at 50% of MRS); moderate intensity group (G; 24; 32 minutes at 75% of MRS) and high intensity group (G; 24; 5x5 minutes and 20 seconds at 90% of MRS). Immediately after the sessions and after 6, 12 and 24 hours, 6 animals from each subgroup were euthanized for glycogen quantification in soleus and EDL muscles and liver.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of 24 bicycle training sessions under different oxygen conditions (normoxia, recovery hypoxia, and continuous hypoxia) by measuring factors like heart rate, blood lactate levels, and symptoms of acute mountain sickness.
  • * Results showed that participants adjusted well, with 93% reporting mild or no symptoms of acute mountain sickness, and differences in peripheral oxygen saturation were significant across the groups, indicating that exercise under hypoxic conditions can be effectively tolerated.

This study investigated the physiological and molecular responses of Wistar Hannover rats, submitted to three 5-week chronic training models, with similar training loads. Twenty-four Wistar Hanover rats were randomly divided into four groups: control (n = 6), low-intensity training (Z1; n = 6), moderate-intensity training (Z2; n = 6) and high-intensity training (Z3; n = 6). The three exercise groups performed a 5-week running training three times a week, with the same prescribed workload but the intensity and the volume were different between groups.

Background: Recent studies have indicated that people who live at altitude have a lower incidence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and lesser severity in infection cases.

Hypothesis: Hypoxia exposure could lead to health benefits, and it could be used in the recovery process as an additional stimulus to physical training to improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

Study Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of 6-week specific preparatory period and 2-week taper period on neuromuscular fatigue profile in 100-m front crawl swimming performance. Seventeen competitive-level young-adult swimmers performed a 100-m swimming performance at baseline and after 6-week specific preparatory followed by 2-week taper periods. Neuromuscular fatigue profile was assessed through percutaneous electrical stimuli on the femoral nerve during a maximal voluntary contraction performed before and immediately after each 100-m maximal effort.
