Effect of Acute Altitude Exposure on Anaerobic Threshold Assessed by a Novel Electrocardiogram-Based Method.

Acute altitude has a relevant impact on exercise physiology and performance. Therefore, the positive impact on the performance level is utilized as a training strategy in professional as well as recreational athletes. However, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) and lactate thresholds (LTs), as established performance measures, cannot be easily assessed at high altitudes.

Comparable Analysis of Acute Changes in Vascular Tone after Coffee versus Energy Drink Consumption.

Caffeinated beverages are popular throughout the world, especially due to their stimulating effects on body physiology. However, short- and long-term outcome studies have shown variable results on general health. In this pilot study, we exposed a cohort of 23 healthy individuals to 240 mg of caffeine either in the form of coffee or energy drinks and performed repetitive pulse wave analyses.

Impact of energy drink versus coffee consumption on periodic repolarization dynamics: an interventional study.

Purpose: Caffeinated beverages are consumed daily throughout the world. Caffeine consumption has been linked to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. However, the exact effects are still insufficiently understood.

Impact of Face Masks on Exercise Capacity and Lactate Thresholds in Healthy Young Adults.

Background: Although many countries have introduced strict guidelines regarding mouth and nose coverage in public to contain infection rates during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, more information is needed regarding the impact of wearing face masks on lactate thresholds (LT) and performance parameters during exercise.

Methods: Ten healthy male and 10 healthy female subjects (age = 33.4 [10.
