Physical activity has been shown to improve outcomes across a range of physical and mental health conditions as an adjunct or standalone intervention for many mental disorders. The outcome and effectiveness of physical activity in acute mental health units are less well understood. Systematic searches were completed in three databases (CINAHL, MEDL...
Strength and conditioning is important for physical preparation in girls’ association football players however, during the COVID-19 pandemic on-line “virtual” coaching replaced gym sessions. Using an retrospective observational design we aimed to quantify the internal responses from on-line and gym-based training in 27 (age 14.5 ± 0.9 yrs; stature...
Aspin, GL, Graham, M, Franklin, J, Hicks, KM, and Taylor, JM. The relationship between the anaerobic speed reserve and acute responses to high-intensity interval training in female soccer players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—The anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) is a popular method of profiling soccer players, often used to individualize t...
Background
Repeated maximal exercise separated by 24 hours may be useful in identifying possible objective markers in people with ME/CFS that are not present in healthy controls.
Aim
We aimed to synthesise studies in which the test-to-retest (24 hours) changes in VO2 and work rate have been compared between people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/ch...
Background
Fundamental movement skill (FMS) competence is associated with physical activity during childhood, with higher FMS competence associated with higher physical activity levels; however, the effectiveness of FMS interventions in primary school-aged children is not fully understood.Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effe...
Using Brofenbrenner’s socio-ecological model as a conceptual framework, the objective of this study was to determine playground users (primary school staff and pupils) perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to a physically active school playground at an intra-personal (individual), inter-personal (social), environmental and policy level. Resu...
Background:
We describe the requirements and physiological changes when running 10 consecutive marathons in 10 days at the same consistent pace by a female ultra-endurance athlete.
Methods:
Sharon Gayter (SG) 54 yrs, 162.5 cm, 49.3 kg maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) 53 mL/kg-1/min-1. SG completed 42.195 km on a treadmill every day for 10 days. W...
The school playground can promote PA for large numbers of children. This study identifies areas of the playground that children visited at break-times, the decisions according to gender and the influence of contextual and environmental variables on PA levels. The playground of a culturally diverse primary school was observed during morning break-ti...
Introduction: The efficacy of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for improving markers of physical fitness and cardiometabolic health is promising. The workplace is one non-laboratory setting where the effectiveness of HIIT could be explored. The aim of this study was to undertake a mixed-methods exploratory pilot trial of a workplace HIIT int...
Competence in fundamental movement skills is essential to enable children to be physically active. We investigated the effect of an integrated fundamental movement skill with a strength training intervention on children’s fundamental movement skills. Seventy-two (53% female) 10- to 11-year-old children from three primary schools assented to take pa...
Ultra-running comprises running events longer than a marathon (>42.2 km). The prolonged duration of ultra-running leads to decrements in most or all physiological parameters and considerable energy expenditure (EE) and energy deficits. SG, 47 years, 162.5 cm, 49 kg, VO 2max 4 mL/kg/min −1 /2.37 L/min −1 , ran continuously for 7 days on a treadmill...
Purpose:
To examine whether the use of a carbohydrate mouth rinse (CMR) can improve multiple choice reaction time in amateur boxers during sparring.
Methods:
A total of 8 male amateur boxers (age 22 [3] y, stature 1.78 [0.07] m, mass 73.6 [14.2] kg) with at least 18 months of experience in the sport volunteered to participate in the study. All p...
To investigate the sensitivity of differential ratings of perceived exertion (dRPE) as measures of internal load.
Twenty-two, male, university soccer players performed two maximal incremental exercise protocols (Cycle, Treadmill) on separate days. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), maximal heart rate (HRmax), peak blood lactate concentration (B[La]pea...
