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)

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)

No statistically meaningful differences in steady-state vo2 uptake for high and low max vo2 groups was indicated in this study, but a clear tendency was observed for the high max vo2 group to reach the steady-state at a faster rate. (MB)

This study examined the isokinetic peak torque at the highest speed of muscle shortening related to age, sex, and physical performance. (MM)

The author presents an equation for predicting maximum aerobic power in untrained females from values of percent body fat, weight, and submaximal values of heart rate, respiratory quotient, and expired gas. (MJB)

It was concluded in this study that frequency of training is an important determinant in eliciting changes in cardiovascular and performance variables and in body composition. (JD)

Although a load cell is more expensive than the autopsy scale for hydrostatic weighing, it is more accurate, easier to read, has no moving parts, is less susceptible to rust, and is less likely to be damaged by large subjects exceeding its capacity. (Author)

Data from testing suggest that the ingestion of caffeine in the amount typically found in a single bottle of commercially available cola drink does not increase factors associated with coronary risk nor will it have an enhancing effect upon athletic performance. (MB)

For steady state resting and mild, steady state exercise conditions, the Haldane transformation is valid and technically preferable to direct calculations of V02. (PBS)

It was concluded from the results of this study that a negative relationship exists between static strength and submaximal, static endurance time. (RC)
