The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of some sportive performance on the menstruation of female amateur volleyball players. 15 healthy female athletes with average age 20.0 ± 1.39 years, height average 165.93 ± 5.13 cm, body weight average 57.07 ± 4.42 kg and BMI (body mass index) 20.69 ± 4.78 kg/m2 , voluntarily participated in…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the physiological demands of trampolining, in comparison with treadmill running, using a larger sample size and a wider range of physiological measures, than had been reported in the previous research. Method: Twenty-three healthy adults completed three, three-minute exercise bouts on both a trampoline…

The rise in students entering higher education in England with vocational qualifications, or a blend of academic and vocational qualifications, has sparked debate about the correlation between qualifications and degree outcomes. Focusing on Sport and Exercise Science students and mobilising Bourdieu's theory of practice, this paper explores…

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify university-sponsored activities associated with increased odds of menstrual disturbance among female college students. Participants: The sample included 3,277 female-identifying students at 12 colleges and universities participating in the Healthy Bodies Study during the 2013-2014 and…

This study revises and enhances a guided inquiry activity designed to introduce undergraduate and high school students to the physiological concepts of exercise fatigue during a 400-meter dash. This activity has been employed since 2016 in entry-level human physiology courses at the University of Minnesota and across 30 high schools. Using…

Purpose: Heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to monitor changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. Monitoring HRV via the natural log of the root-mean-square difference of successive normal RR intervals (lnRMSSD), a decrease was related to lower parasympathetic activity and a fatigued state, and an increase was related to higher…

Physiological effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercises are frequently investigated. However, it is considered that combined exercises may be more effective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and combined exercise program on some biochemical parameters. The study group consisted of 45 male volunteers with sedentary…

This study compared criterion to minimally invasive, practical measures of core (T[subscript c]) and skin (T[subscript sk) temperature during 30 min of moderate-intensity cycle exercise in a heat chamber (35°C, 60% rH). T[subscript c] was monitored using a core temperature pill (T[subscript c](Pill))] and tympanic thermometer (T[subscript c(Tymp))…

Undergraduate and graduate students in courses designed to introduce research techniques in exercise physiology were provided the novel opportunity through project-based learning (PjBL) to utilize a prototype device to measure energy expenditure (EE). This report summarizes how EE measurements were incorporated via PjBL into course-required…

Sports can build both strength and be fun at the same time. When it comes to a professional athlete's victory, the winner will enhance his reputation and can earn a great deal of money. The problem that athletes frequently encounter is traumas, which can happen in games or during training. Today, the technology is very advanced and modernized.…

Purpose: To verify whether excess body mass influences 24-h ambulatory heart rate variability (HRV) after a moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) session. Method: Participants included 27 non-trained young men that were divided into two groups, 1) normal-weight (n = 10) and 2) overweight and obese (n = 17). Participants underwent a single…

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, specialists in the field of Physical culture and Sports are faced with the problem of increasing interest in practicing folk national sports, based on the creation of both theoretical paradigms and a more evidence-based comprehensive practical database of research in scientific and methodological orientation. The…

Purpose: The aim of the study was to verify the agreement between preplanned and executed pacing during a 3-km race and determine whether adjustments are mediated by the rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Method: Thirteen young runners (eight males and five females, 17.5 ± 2.1 and 17.0 ± 1.6 years old, respectively) with national and…

Previously most studies indicated that high intensity training is a powerful stimulus to acute increases in blood testosterone hormone levels in males. The testosterone responses to exercise in females are controversial; while some studies have shown increases, others have suggested no change. The aim of this study was to determine alterations in…

Purpose: The current study investigated the role of quadriceps and gastrocnemii size and "vastus lateralis" and "gastrocnemius medialis" muscle architecture in peak-power and time-to-peak-power exerted in an all-out Wingate test. Twenty-one amateur cyclists were recruited. Methods: Quadriceps and gastrocnemii anatomical…
