Exercise-based correlates to calcaneal osteogenesis produced by a chronic training intervention.

Thirty workouts on a gravity-independent device (Impulse Training Systems, Newnan GA) evoked significant calcaneal bone mineral content (BMC, +29%) and density (BMD, +33%) gains. High speeds and impact loads were produced per repetition. We examined exercise performance variables from the 30-workout intervention to identify correlates to delta (∆) calcaneal BMC and BMD variance.

Load-Power Relationships for High-Speed Knee Extension Exercise.

Chen, L, Davison, SW, Selimovic, EA, Mueller, RE, Beatty, SR, Carter, KA, Parmar, PJ, Symons, TB, Pantalos, GM, and Caruso, JF. Load-power relationships for high-speed knee extension exercise. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1480-1487, 2019-Seventy subjects did 4 knee extensor workouts with their left legs to assess load-power relationships produced on a high-speed trainer (HST; Newnan, GA, USA).

Health care for all: effective, community supported, healthcare with innovative use of telemedicine technology.

Almost half of the world's total population reside in rural and remote areas and a large number of these people remain deprived of most basic facilities like healthcare and education. It is deemed impossible for government with scarce resources in developing countries to open and run a health facility in every remote community using conventional means. One increasingly popular unconventional mean is the use of existing technology to improve exchange of medical information for the purpose of improving health of underprivileged communities.

Impact of acceleration on blood lactate values derived from high-speed resistance exercise.

Acceleration, or an increase in the rate of movement, is integral to success in many sports. Improvements in acceleration often entail workouts done at intensities that elicit higher blood lactate concentrations (BLa). The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of acceleration on BLa.

Performance evaluation of a high-speed inertial exercise trainer.

A high-speed, low-resistance inertial exercise trainer (IET, Impulse Training Systems, Newnan, Ga) is increasingly employed in rehabilitative and athletic performance settings. Repetitions on an IET are done through a large range of motion because multijoint movements occur over more than one plane of motion, with no limitation on velocities or accelerations attained. The current study purpose is to assess data reproducibility from an instrumented IET through multiple test-retest measures.
