Consecutive changes during standartised cardiopulmonary test in basketball players
Journal Title: Biology of Sport - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the dynamics of cardiopulmonary and metabolic response of trained basketball players during different stages of exhaustive exercise test. A total of 42 male athletes were studied. They performed incremental multistage (50W each 2 min) exercise test until exhaustion. During the test, the expired air was analyzed using breath-by-breath VMAX229 system. Parameters of ventilation, heart rate, power, indices of gas exchange were measured during the tests. Samples were formed for each 30 s interval. All samples were checked according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion and standard grouping into classes was used; the degree of freedom was established according to the normal distribution standard (k=m-p-1). Confidence intervals were calculated for samples similar to normal (95% level, p<0.05 considered sufficient).The results of this study suggest that the increase in VO2 is a linear progression, which approximately corresponds to the function VO2≈4.68+0.14*P in relation to load (VO2≈P/8) or VO2≈7,34+0,04*T in relation to time (VO2≈t(s)*19. Graphic expression of cardiopulmonary and metabolic variables is useful nomograms for the routine assessment of response during exercise in players of invasion games.

QUERCETIN EFFECTS ON WEIGHT GAIN AND CALORIC INTAKE IN EXERCISED RATS
Quercetin is a flavonoid which activates oxidative metabolism. Quercetin may reduce weight gain by decreasing feed efficiency. The present study aims to evaluate weight gain, caloric intake and feed efficiency in exercis...

The abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids by Polish school-aged adolescents
Although anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are perceived primarily as doping agents for athletes, these substances are also used by adolescents for aesthetical purposes. The aim of this study was to determine the knowle...
Time and spatial aspects of movement anticipation
Background: Anticipation is a mental process consisting in foreseeing future events and situations based on shortening the selection stage in the information phase of sensorimotor responses. Through anticipation it is po...
ENDOCRINE RESPONSE TO AN ULTRA-MARATHON IN PRE- AND POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Ultra-endurance competitions are becoming increasingly popular but there is limited research on female participants. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in estrogen and the IGF-I system in women after an ult...
