Impact statement:
The diagnosis of overtraining syndrome and overreaching poses a great challenge. Military training aims at improving the physical performance of the conscripts, but an excessive training load could also lead to overreaching. This study of Finnish conscripts provides new insights into the pathophysiology of overreaching and overtr...
Study aim : The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuromuscular adaptations in conscripts with different fitness levels (VO 2max ) during 8 weeks of military basic training (BT).
Material and methods : Twenty-four male conscripts (18–21 years) were divided into two groups (Good Fitness [GF] and Low fitness [LF]) based on their VO 2max at the be...
Purpose:
To compare training load and energy expenditure during an 8-week military BT period among individuals having different fitness level using objective measurements in an authentic environment.
Methods:
Thirty-four voluntary male conscripts (age 19.1±0.3 years) were divided into three training groups (inactive, moderate, active) by their r...
The purpose of the study was to examine how military training influences neuromuscular function in non-overreached and overreached conscripts. A total of 24 male conscripts participated in the study (8 weeks basic training + 2 weeks specialized training). All measurements were conducted during weeks 1, 5, 8 and 10. After the training period, non-ov...
INTRODUCTION
Daily physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) have diverse influence on health. Accelerometry has been proposed as a method to objectively quantify time spent sedentary in addition to generally used measures of PA. Reliability and validity of the measurement as well as feasibility of the device are essential to draw the conclusi...
Study aim: to develop and estimate the validity of non-exercise methods to predict VO2max among young male conscripts entering military service in order to divide them into the different physical training groups.
Material and methods: fifty males (age 19.7 ± 0.3 years) reported their physical activity before military service by IPAQ and SIVAQ quest...
The volume and intensity of training load and energy expenditure during military basic training (BT) period is poorly known. In order to maintain and enhance aerobic performance, a certain amount of physical activity is required. On the other hand, excessive and prolonged physical activity leads to an overreaching state, which is followed by decrea...
INTRODUCTION
High blood LDL and low HDL levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, higher HLD levels (1) have been shown to be associated with worse total mood state. Even though military training has favourable effects on blood lipids (2), military environment might induce negative changes in mood state for young conscripts. The...

The use of energy drinks before an acute exercise among recreational athletes has been observed to increase in order to enhance well-being. This study compared the acute effect of energy drinks on fluid balance and subjective feelings during endurance exercise.
Healthy adults (N=10, 5 men, 5 wo...

TAUSTA:
Sydämen sykkeen palautuminen (HRR) fyysisen kuormituksen jälkeen on todettu ennustavan kuollei¬suutta potilas¬ryhmillä sekä oireettomilla henki¬löillä. Palautumissyke voi myös kuvastaa elimistön vastetta harjoitteluun. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää kuinka sykkeen palautuminen maksimaalisen tes...
We assessed the ability of the Polar activity recorder (AR) to measure energy expenditure (EE) during military training. Twenty-four voluntary male conscripts participated in the study and wore an AR on the non-dominant wrist 24 h a day for 7 d. The AR analyzed and stored the frequency of hand movements (f_hand) into memory at 1 min intervals. The...
Previous military studies have shown an energy deficit during a strenuous field training course (TC). This study aimed to determine the effects of energy bar supplementation on energy balance, physical activity (PA), physical performance and well-being and to evaluate ad libitum fluid intake during wintertime 8-day strenuous TC.
Twenty-six men (age...
We hypothesized that increased oxidative stress and disrupted redox balance may be predisposing factors and markers for overreaching (OR).
The study's purpose was to examine whether oxidative stress markers and antioxidant status and physical fitness are related to OR during an 8-wk military basic training (BT) period.
Oxidative stress and antioxid...
The last 4 weeks of basic military training are very stressful. We tested the hypothesis that changes in cardiac autonomic function during this period are associated with changes in maximal oxygen uptake and/or serum hormonal concentrations in male conscripts (n=22). Cardiac vagal autonomic function was assessed by measuring the high-frequency (0.1...

Introduction
Definition of optimal recovery between training sessions is difficult because it depends for example on the type of exercise. After eccentric exercise (EE) the recovery may last for several days. Traditionally the assessment of muscular and physiological recovery requires invasive measurements and laboratory...
The purpose of this study was to compare hormonal, neuromuscular, and aerobic performance changes between a constant 2-minute interset recovery time and an interset recovery time based on individual heart rate (HR) responses during a 7-week (3 sessions per week, 3 × 10 repetition maximum [RM]) hypertrophic strength training period. The HR-dependent...
Invited lecture in symposium on “Overreaching and Overtraining in Military and Elite Athletes: What Do We Know Today?”
The purpose was (a) to study the effect of an 8-week Finnish military basic training period (BT) on physical fitness, body composition, mood state, and serum biochemical parameters among new conscripts; (b) to determine the incidence of overreaching (OR); and (c) to evaluate whether initial levels or training responses differ between OR and noOR su...

Leptin regulates body weight, metabolism, and tissue adaptations to environmental stressors. We examined the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of leptin promoter G-2548A (rs7799039) and leptin receptor Gln223Arg (rs1137101) with body composition, plasma leptin levels, and peak oxygen uptake (VO(2)peak) in response to 8 weeks of ph...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between oxidative stress and overtraining syndrome. Indicators of oxidative stress (plasma protein carbonyls, nitrotyrosine, and malondialdehyde) and antioxidant status (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) were measured in severely overtrained (two women, five men) and control athlete...

Skeletal muscle-derived interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine which regulates body metabolism during strenuous physical exercise.
The effect of a potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -174G/C of the IL6 gene (rs1800795) promoter was examined on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), body mass index (BMI) and plasma IL-6 leve...
The present study examined whether activity energy expenditure related to body mass (AEE/kg) is associated with maximal aerobic fitness (VO(2max)), energy balance, and body mass index (BMI) during the 2 hardest weeks of the military basic training season (BT). An additional purpose was to study the accuracy of the pre-filled food diary energy intak...

The aim of this study was to examine the isometric endurance response and the heart rate and blood pressure responses to isometric exercise in two muscle groups in ten young (age 23-29 years) and seven older (age 54-59 years) physically active men with similar estimated forearm and thigh muscle masses. Isometric contractions were held until fatigue...
