Article Synopsis
- The study examined how elevated core temperature from heat stress affects aerobic exercise capacity in highly trained athletes compared to just heat exposure without increased core temperature.
- Seven athletes went through two conditions: one involving elevated core and skin temperatures (HYP) and the other with only elevated skin temperature (SKIN), followed by tasks to induce mental fatigue.
- Results showed that athletes had shorter exercise time to exhaustion in the HYP condition (about 8.9 minutes) compared to SKIN (around 12.6 minutes), indicating that both high core temperature and mental fatigue negatively impact performance in hot conditions.
Effects of Different Isometric Training Programs on Muscle Size and Function in the Elbow Flexors.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
February 2023
It remains unknown whether a regimen of a combination of high- and low-intensity resistance training increases muscle size and maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) simultaneously. This study aimed to clarify the effect of the combination of high- and low-intensity resistance training on muscle size and neuromuscular function in the elbow flexors. Sixteen male adults participated in a 9-week isometric training regimen in elbow joint flexion of each arm.
