The intent of this research was to compare the rate of gastric emptying of three commercially available athletic drinks with water and, in doing so, to determine their relative contributions of water, electrolytes, and carbohydrate to the body. (JD)

Analysis of recovery data for active and passive rest periods following exercise revealed statistically significant differences, with the active recovery scores being greater. (JD)

Greater control of the muscular fatigue process is afforded by regulation of energy expenditure through monitoring the rate of contraction rather than by varying the duration of contraction. (Author)

Selection of proper competitive activities for athletes is discussed in relation to the acknowledged fact that cellular adaptation is dependent upon the specific program employed in training for competitive events. (MB)

While running up an incline at a speed chosen by themselves, subjects apparently will perceive the work effort to be the same as running on the level, when in fact it is costing them more energy. (MM)

Results suggest that severe muscular fatigue adversely affects total reflex time, especially the peripheral muscular component. (MM)

Better distance runners perform at a higher percentage of their maximal aerobic power than do distance runners of poorer ability. (JD)

The physiological mechanics of kayaking and canoeing are examined. (JD)

A report is given on alterations in blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular ejection time, and myocardial oxygen consumption during isometric contraction in a closed heated environment. (JD)

The interpretation of the data from this study can support the concept of accomodation for isokinetic exercise. (RC)
