Objectives: The aim of this study was to replicate the study titled "Investigating the effects of maximal anaerobic fatigue on dynamic postural control using the Y-Balance Test" by Johnston et al. (2018) as part of a large replication project. This study aimed to determine the effects of maximal anaerobic fatigue on dynamic postural control using the Y-Balance Test, with a specific focus on anterior reach distance.
Design: A single session intervention.
Methods: Forty male and female university students (age: 22 ± 3 years, height: 171.88 ± 8.96 cm, mass: 76.20 ± 14.31 kg) partaking in competitive sport, completed a Y-Balance Test protocol at 20, 10, and 0 min before a modified 60 s Wingate fatiguing protocol. Post-fatigue assessments were completed at 0, 10, and 20 min after the Wingate test. Replication outcomes included significance, direction, and effect size comparison using a z-test.
Results: A one-way repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant effect for maximal anaerobic fatigue on normalised anterior reach direction (F = 7.16, p = 0.002, η = 0.159; 95 % CI: 0.025, 0.320). Therefore, we replicated the original findings for anterior reach distance in terms of statistical significance (F = 3.818, p = 0.025, η = 0.376; 95 % CI: 0.00, 0.62). The replication and original effect size estimates for anterior reach direction were compared using a z-test and were deemed compatible (z = 1.65, p = 0.05).
Conclusions: Overall, we replicated the original study findings for the effect of maximal anaerobic fatigue on anterior reach distance in a Y-Balance Test.

Background: Change in the oxygen consumption (VO) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) is an important outcome in research studies of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The range of values reported by different raters for any given VAT is needed to contextualize a change in VAT in intervention studies.
Methods: Sixty maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) for CHD patients 8-21 years old were independently reviewed by six exercise physiologists and four pediatric cardiologists.

Introduction: Assessment of exercise capacity by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is important for prognostication and preoperative assessment. Peak oxygen uptake (PVO) is used commonly, but can be challenging due to the difficulties of undertaking maximal CPET testing in this population. We explored whether oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), the point during CPET at which OUES becomes strongly correlated with PVO, and is more reliably available from submaximal CPET, can predict PVO in adults with CHD.

Background: Exercise capacity is reduced in patients with a Fontan circulation compared to their healthy peers secondary to altered haemodynamics of the Fontan circulation. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is routinely used in Fontan patients to assess their cardiopulmonary response to exercise and help guide management decisions, however their results are routinely compared to normative data derived from healthy individuals.
Method: Using data available from the Pediatric Heart Network, we performed a retrospective study to derive Fontan-specific normative values in a subgroup of well-functioning adolescent patients.

Objectives: To examine the effect of the NAD precursor, nicotinic acid (NA), for improving skeletal muscle status in sedentary older people.
Methods: In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled design, 18 sedentary yet otherwise healthy older (65-75 y) males were assigned to 2-weeks of NA (acipimox; 250 mg × 3 daily, n=8) or placebo (PLA, n=10) supplementation. At baseline, and after week 1 and week 2 of supplementation, a battery of functional, metabolic, and molecular readouts were measured.
