The effect of blood glucose extraction on the perception of exertion was examined during prolonged arm exercise. Eight male subjects consumed in counter-balanced order a standard daily diet containing either (1) 75 g dihydroxyacetone and 25 g sodium pyruvate (DHAP) or (2) an isocaloric amount of placebo, to manipulate blood glucose extraction. Following each 7-day diet, subjects exercised to exhaustion at 60% of peak arm oxygen consumption. Ratings of perceived exertion (Borg, CR-10 scale) were obtained for the arms (RPE-A), legs (RPE-L), chest (RPE-C) and overall body (RPE-O) every 10 min of exercise. After 60 min of continuous exercise, blood samples were drawn from the radial artery and axillary vein. Ratings of perceived exertion did not differ between trials during the first 50 min of exercise. At the 60-min time point, perceived exertion was lower (P less than 0.01) in the DHAP than placebo trials for the arms (RPE-A: 4.25 vs 5.50) and overall body (RPE-O: 3.25 vs 4.00). These differences persisted throughout exercise. RPE-L and RPE-C did not differ between trials. Whole-arm arterial-venous glucose difference was higher (P less than 0.05) in the DHAP (1.00 mmol.l-1) than placebo (0.36 mmol.l-1) trials, as was fractional extraction of glucose (22.5 vs 9.0%). Respiratory exchange ratio was the same between trials. Triceps muscle glycogen was (1) higher in the DHAP than placebo trial at pre-exercise (P less than 0.05), (2) decreased during exercise and (3) did not differ between trials at exercise termination.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Without visual feedback voluntary torque is overestimated during muscle potentiation despite similar motor unit firing rate and perception of exertion.
J Neurophysiol

School of Kinesiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada.
The purpose was to assess whether visual feedback of torque contributes to motor unit (MU) firing rate reduction observed during post-activation potentiation (PAP) of skeletal muscle. From 15 participants 23 MUs were recorded with intramuscular fine-wire electrodes from the tibialis anterior during isometric dorsiflexion contractions at 20% of maximum, with and without both PAP and visual feedback of torque. A 5s maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) was used to induce PAP, and evoked twitch responses were assessed before and after.

Individuals avoid spending cognitive effort unless expected rewards offset the perceived costs. Recent work employing tasks that provide explicit information about demands and incentives, suggests causal involvement of the Frontopolar Cortex (FPC) in effort-based decision-making. Using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), we examined whether the FPC's role in motivating effort generalizes to sequential choice problems in which task demand and reward rates vary indirectly and as a function of experience.

Introduction: When exercising to preferred music (PM), participants found more satisfaction and less typical exercise-related fatigue, which made it easier and more enjoyable to maintain the physical activity (PA) until the exercise goals were achieved. The purpose of this review and meta-analysis was to determine whether changes on internal training load in adult recreational athletes were modified by listening to PM and non-preferred music (NPM), during different PA.
Evidence Acquisition: A music-focused search was performed on the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant articles to this topic published after 2000 to investigate the effects of PM on psychophysiological responses to PA.
An immersive virtual reality exergame as a patient education approach in fibromyalgia: Pilot study.

Background: Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has been applied in pain management for various conditions, but its use in fibromyalgia (FM) remains underexplored. While physical activity plays a role in treating FM, patients' low tolerance often limits its effectiveness. After reviewing the literature on VR and games for FM, we designed a novel VR exergame to assist FM patients in performing physical activity, and evaluate its feasibility.

Marching band (MB) artists are often part of the general student population and not required to complete a pre-participation health screening to identify predisposing medical conditions or risks for injury/illness. Anecdotally, exertional heat illnesses (EHI) are a concern for MB artists. As more athletic trainers provide MB healthcare, research is needed on EHI occurrence and MB associated EHI risk factors.
