Article
Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) is a water-soluble fiber if added to oral rehydration solution (ORS) and undergoes fermentation in the colon liberating short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs potentiate the effect of ORS, reducing the severity of diarrhea. To examine the effect of PHGG-added ORS in reducing the stool output and duration of diar...
Article
To examine the effects of a 3-day high carbohydrate (H-CHO) and low carbohydrate (L-CHO) diet on 45 min of cycling exercise, 12 endurance-trained cyclists performed a 45-min cycling exercise at 82 +/- 2% VO2peak following an overnight fast, after a 6-day diet and exercise control. The 7-day protocol was repeated under 2 randomly assigned dietary tr...

Fast swimming, either in the pool, in open water swimming, or in water polo and synchronized swimming, requires maximizing the efficiencies with which the human body can move through a liquid medium. A multitude of factors can affect the ability to swim fast as well as the final outcome. Physiology and biomechanics are the present tools used by spo...
Article
The purpose of this study was to examine the total energy expenditure (TEE) of swimmers during high volume training (17.5 +/- 1.0 km.d-1) using the doubly labeled water method. Five female swimmers (age, 19 +/- 1 yr; height, 178.3 +/- 2.2 cm; weight 65.4 +/- 1.6 kg) were administered a dose of 2H2(18)O and monitored for 5 days. Training consisted o...
Article
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of three different wet suits on the oxygen uptake (VO(2)), minute ventilation (VE). and heart rate responses to front crawl swimming. Five male subjects swam at four velocities (0.90, 1.05, 1.18 +/- 0.01, 1.31 +/- 0.02 m.sec(-1)) in each of four swimming suit conditions in a swimming flume. Con...
Article
We used a new stable isotope tracer approach incorporating muscle intracellular lactate enrichment to determine the flux of glucose/glucosyl toward lactate [i.e., nonoxidized pyruvate (Pyr) production (Pyrno)] in moderately trained cyclists exercising at approximately 80% (259 +/- 16 W; n = 6) and approximately 100% (341 +/- 9 W; n = 8) maximal O2...
Article
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between oxygen demand, stroke rate and swimming velocity in competitive swimmers. The subjects who volunteered for this study were ten trained male swimmers (age, 16.7 +/- 0.4 yrs). VO2peak, swimming velocities at 80% (V80% VO2peak) and 100% (V100% VO2peak) of VO2peak and swimming velocity...
Article
Twelve male 100-m freestyle swimmers were videotaped during the 1992 Olympic Games. Four cameras, two above water and two below, recorded the same stroke cycle of the swimmer at approximately the 40- to 45-m mark. The whole body and the recovering arms were digitized from the videotapes to recreate a complete stroke cycle. Body position variables a...

Article
The prevalence of shoulder pain in United States competitive swimmers has not been extensively surveyed but is perceived as common. To evaluate this concern, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 1262 United States swimmers: 993 age group, 198 senior development, and 71 national team athletes. We sought to identify the incidence of interfering sh...
Article
The purpose of this study was to compare swimmers with injured and non-injured shoulders to identify teh differences that exist between the two groups. fifteen trained swimmers participated in this study (ten injured). The type of injury and degree was evaluated by an athleic trainer. Subjects came into the lab for the following testing regimens; 1...
Article
Dietary food records from adolescent male and female swimmers participating in a national developmental training camp were analyzed for nutrient density. The mean caloric intake was 5,221.6 kcal for males and 3,572.6 kcal for females. The distribution of calories between carbohydrates, protein, and fat was not ideal for athletes trying to optimize...
Article
In the present study active and passive drag was measured in 12 male High school swimmers. The active drag was measured on the MAD-system. The passive drag was measured during towing in a prone position in a Swimming treadmill. The passive drag was measured using the force transducer of the MAD-system. The active drag at 1.5 m/s ranged from 50-75 N...
Article
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a program of regular sprint exercise training alters the functional properties or protects against the development of fatigue in fast- and slow-twitch rat skeletal muscle. The training program consisted of 6 sprints of 4.5-min duration at 40 m/min and 15% slope with 2.5-min rest intervals, performe...
Article
The contractile and selected biochemical properties of fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle were studied at 9, 18, and 28 months of age in sedentary and regularly exercised rats. The isometric twitch duration was prolonged with aging in both the fast- and slow-twitch muscle. This effect was primarily due to a prolonged one-half relaxation time (1/...
Article
The effects of thyrotoxicosis on the contractile properties and development of muscle fatigue in the slow soleus (SOL) and fast extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were examined in rats given 3 mg of L-thyroxine and 1 mg of L-triiodothyronine per kilogram of diet for 6 weeks. The hormone treatment produced significant decreases in the contracti...

The effect of hind-limb immobilization on selected lysosomal enzyme activities was studied in rat hind-limb muscles composed primarily of type I, IIA, or IIB fibers. Following immobilization, acid protease and acid phosphatase both exhibited significant (P less than 0.05) increases in their activity per unit weight in all three fiber types. Acid ph...

In an effort to determine the role played by power in sprint swimming, 40 competitive swimmers (22 females and 18 males) were tested for arm power at velocities ranging from 1.60-3.28 m . s-1 using an apparatus that was specifically designed to mimic the arm action during swimming. Measurements were also made to determine the contribution of fatiga...
Article
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of treadmill running on the oxidative capacity of regenerated rodent skeletal muscle. The soleus, plantaris, and gastrocnemius muscles were removed under general anesthesia from one hindlimb of young female rats (N = 15). The visible "white" portion of the latter muscle was minced into 1 m...
Article
The purpose of this study was to examine the etiology of muscle fatigue in fast and slow skeletal muscles giving particular interest to the relationship of H+ ion and muscle contractile properties. A further objective was to evaluate to what extent endurance and sprint exercise training protects against the development of fatigue. Endurance exercis...
