Is sports exercise affects the balance of arterial blood gases ??
Relevant answer
Answer
Hola, no estoy seguro de haber entendido tu pregunta, pero si te referís a las adaptaciones agúdas y crónicas del sistema cardiorrespiratorio en respuesta al entrenamiento físico, entonces la respuesta es si.
Con el ejercicio físico (principalmente de tipo aeróbico), se logra aumentar la concentración de glóbulos rojos en sangre (eritropoyesis), a causa de una elevada producción de triyodotironina, la cual estimula la liberación de eritropoyetina (EPO) por parte de los riñones, estimulando a su vez esta a la médula ósea roja del tejido óseo trabecular a crear glóbulos rojos (eritropoyesis) (Wilmore & Costill 2004), (Ciloglu et. al. 2005), (Haff & Triplett 2015), (Prieto-Macías et al. 2016), (Herrera 2017) y (Aguilar Chasipanta et. al. 2017). También la hipoxia tanto en tejidos (tisular) como en la sangre (fenómenos evidenciados durante el ejercicio), estimulan la liberación de EPO por parte de los riñones, provocando el mismo efecto (Fernández-Tresguerres Hernández et. al. 2005), (Bonilla Briceño 2005), (Morici et al. 2005), (Calderón 2007), (García & Rubio 2014) y (Trompetero-González et al. 2015). Finalmente, el ejercicio provoca liberación de catecolaminas, las cuales también estimulan a los riñones a producir EPO (Wilmore & Costill 2004) y (Saba et. al. 2017).
Lógicamente, si tenemos mas glóbulos rojos en sangre, tendremos mas transportadores de O2, lo que aumentará la captación del mismo desde los alvéolos y finalmente aumentará la concentración de O2 en sangre.
Espero haber aclarado alguna duda, saludos.

Hi Everyone! So I'm conducting research whereby there is a 2x6 within subjects repeated measures design (2 modes of exercise and 6 intensity levels).
I have conducted pre-planned comparisons (pairwise) between the lowest and highest (1 and 6) intensities for each of my outcome variables (DVs) for both exercise modes. I have hypotheses regarding each outcome variable and am unsure whether the correction should be applied for multiple comparisons as although intensity 1 and 6 are being compared in each comparison (so comparison between intensity 1 and 6 for a given DV in one of the modes), I'm not technically reusing any data points.
Thoughts on this issue are much appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Kieran,
In general, the larger the number of hypothesis tests, the greater the aggregate risk of committing one or more type I errors in the full set of tests.
The question is, what is the relevant full set for your study? As you describe it, you wish to compare Level_1 to Level_6 for each of two modes for each DV of interest.
If the relevant full set is a specific DV, then you're running two tests.
If the relevant full set is across the ensemble of k DVs, then you're running 2 * k tests.
Any adjustment should be undertaken with your preferred framework in mind.
Good luck with your work.

Question

I was left with this question after reading about increased aerobic capacity conferred via fecal/microbiome replacement after exercise in humans (endurance athletes) and mice. Can we conclude the turnover rate favors these microbes that feed on the byproducts of exercise and thus increases their abundance? What is the mechanism of intestinal entry for systemic lactate produced in muscle tissue?
Relevant answer
Answer
In my opinion...
Yes, the relationship between systemic lactate and Veillonella is an interesting aspect of the exercise-induced microbiome changes. Veillonella is a genus of bacteria that can metabolize lactate, which is produced in muscles during high-intensity exercise. It has been proposed that the abundance of Veillonella increases in the gut microbiota of endurance athletes due to their high lactate production.
The idea that increased aerobic capacity is conferred via fecal/microbiome replacement stems from studies where fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from athletes to sedentary mice resulted in improved exercise performance in the recipient mice. This suggests that the microbiome may play a role in exercise performance, although the exact mechanisms are not yet completely understood.
The turnover rate of Veillonella may indeed be favored by the presence of lactate, as it serves as an energy source for these microbes. However, it is important to note that the abundance of Veillonella is only one factor among many that can influence exercise capacity, and further research is needed to determine the precise mechanisms and extent of this relationship.
As for the mechanism of intestinal entry for systemic lactate, lactate produced in muscle tissue during exercise can be transported into the bloodstream, where it can be taken up by other tissues such as the liver for gluconeogenesis, or by the heart and skeletal muscles as an energy source. Lactate can also be transported into the gastrointestinal lumen, although the exact mechanisms are not entirely clear. It is thought that lactate may passively diffuse across the gut epithelial cells, facilitated by monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), or be actively transported by other transport mechanisms. Once in the gastrointestinal lumen, lactate can be utilized by Veillonella as a substrate for metabolism.
These articles are worth reading:
  1. (2019). Meta-omics analysis of elite athletes identifies a performance-enhancing microbe that functions via lactate metabolism. Nature Medicine, 25(7), 1104-1109.Este estudo analisa o microbioma de atletas de elite e identifica a bactéria Veillonella como um potencial contribuinte para o aumento da capacidade aeróbica. Os autores também descrevem a capacidade da Veillonella de metabolizar lactato.

During the month of Ramadan, athletes, in their various activities, perform various types of exercises. Does this affect their level during the fasting period?
Relevant answer
Answer
Fasting can affect athletes during exercise in various ways, both positively and negatively. The impact of fasting on an athlete's performance will depend on factors such as the type of fasting, duration of the fast, individual's training status, and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Here are some general effects of fasting on athletic performance:
  1. Glycogen depletion: Fasting can lead to a reduction in muscle and liver glycogen stores. Glycogen is the primary fuel source for high-intensity exercise. Depleted glycogen stores may impair performance in activities that require short bursts of energy or sustained high-intensity efforts.
  2. Fat utilization: During fasting, the body shifts to utilizing fat as its primary energy source. This can be beneficial for endurance athletes as it may help them spare glycogen stores and increase fat oxidation, potentially improving endurance capacity. However, this benefit may not apply to high-intensity exercise, where carbohydrates are the preferred fuel source.
  3. Hydration and electrolyte balance: Fasting, particularly when combined with fluid restrictions, can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which can negatively impact athletic performance. Maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance is crucial for optimal performance, especially during prolonged or intense exercise.
  4. Mental focus: Some athletes may experience reduced mental focus and concentration during fasting, which can negatively affect decision-making and overall performance. Conversely, others may find that fasting helps them achieve a heightened sense of focus and clarity.
  5. Recovery: Fasting may impair recovery, as adequate nutrition is crucial for repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue after exercise. Athletes who fast may need to pay extra attention to their post-exercise nutrition to support recovery and prevent overtraining.
Ultimately, the effects of fasting on athletic performance will vary depending on the individual, their sport, and the specific fasting protocol. It is essential for athletes who choose to fast to monitor their performance, recovery, and overall well-being, and consult with a sports nutritionist or healthcare professional to optimize their fasting and training plan.
I suggest reading:

Does exercise help prevent cancer?
Relevant answer
Answer
Regular exercise has been shown to have many health benefits, including reducing the risk of some types of cancer. Here are some ways in which exercise can help prevent cancer:
  1. Reducing inflammation: Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for several types of cancer. Exercise has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help reduce the risk of cancer.
  2. Controlling weight: Obesity is a risk factor for several types of cancer, including breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Exercise can help control weight by burning calories and building muscle, which can help reduce the risk of cancer.
  3. Regulating hormones: Some types of cancer are hormone-dependent, meaning they are influenced by the levels of certain hormones in the body. Exercise can help regulate hormone levels, which can reduce the risk of hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.
  4. Boosting the immune system: Regular exercise can help boost the immune system, which plays an important role in preventing and fighting cancer.
  5. Improving gut health: The gut microbiome plays a role in cancer prevention, and exercise has been shown to improve gut health by increasing the diversity of gut bacteria.
It's important to note that while exercise can help reduce the risk of some types of cancer, it is not a guarantee. Other factors such as genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices can also influence the risk of cancer. However, incorporating regular exercise into a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of cancer and improve overall health.

ABSTRACT : This article addresses the Democracy of the Future in a context of dynamic change in the reality of people's lives in the Digital Age. Democracy is a political regime in which all citizens in the enjoyment of their political rights also participate — directly or through elected representatives — in choosing the model of governance for the country and or region, in its development and in the creation of laws, exercising the power of governance through universal suffrage . It covers the social, economic and cultural conditions that allow the exercise of power, free and equal to political self-determination. Effective and efficient political leadership in representative democracy poses new challenges to political powers. Traditional theoretical and practical political leadership needs a new systematic approach to seeking a holistic vision for the constant improvement of meeting the social and economic needs of populations. The greatest challenge that theory and practice face is the identification of effective instruments for democracy of the future and deliberative practices so that the decisions taken are considered rational, transparent, legitimate, in Freedom and protect the human rights of all citizens and that they feel respected, represented and committed to their implementation.

Freestyle swimming is a highly technical sport that requires a great deal of skill and coordination. One of the key components of efficient freestyle swimming is the use of proper leg technique. While the primary focus of freestyle swimming is on the arm stroke and breathing technique, the legs also play a critical role in generating forward momentum and maintaining balance and stability in the water.
Recent research has shown that incorporating backstroke leg exercises into a swimmer's training regimen can have a significant impact on improving freestyle technique. Backstroke leg exercises involve working the legs in a similar way to how they are used in backstroke swimming. This includes kicking with a straight leg, pointing the toes, and engaging the hips and core muscles.
By incorporating these exercises into their training routine, swimmers can develop better balance and stability in the water, as well as increase the strength and endurance of their leg muscles. This can lead to improved propulsion and a more efficient freestyle stroke.
In addition to improving leg strength and technique, backstroke leg exercises can also help prevent injury by promoting proper alignment and reducing strain on the lower back and hip joints. This can be especially important for swimmers who may be prone to overuse injuries or who have a history of lower back pain.
Overall, incorporating backstroke leg exercises into a swimmer's training regimen can have numerous benefits for improving freestyle technique and overall performance. By developing better leg strength and coordination, swimmers can achieve greater efficiency and speed in the water, while also reducing the risk of injury.

There is evidence to suggest that exercise training can have a positive effect on cognitive function in individuals who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is particularly relevant for women sportspersons, who may be at increased risk for TBI due to their participation in contact sports.
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation found that exercise training improved cognitive function in individuals with TBI, including improvements in attention, processing speed, and memory. The review also found that exercise training had a positive effect on mood and quality of life.
Another study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma found that a structured exercise program improved cognitive function in individuals with mild to moderate TBI. The study included both men and women, but it provides evidence that exercise can be effective in improving cognitive function in individuals with TBI.
While there is limited research specifically on the efficacy of exercise training on cognitive function in women sportspersons with TBI, the available evidence suggests that exercise can have a positive effect on cognitive function in individuals with TBI. Therefore, exercise training may be an effective intervention for improving cognitive function in women sportspersons who have experienced TBI. However, it is important to note that the specifics of the exercise program, such as the type, duration, and intensity, may vary depending on the individual's needs and level of impairment. A healthcare professional should be consulted to determine the most appropriate exercise program for a person with TBI.

We have previously trialed using a ramp version of the sit-to-stand test whereby participants stand-sit in time to a metronome beat that gets progressivley faster.

Never published anything on this and not entirely sure if there is an accepted/validated test out there as this concept is relatively new. One thing inwoukd highl ight is that maximal testing online without supervision is fraught with dangers, such as syncope at maximum, cardiovascular events etc so i would advise sub-maximal testing and ensure someone else is present in the room (responsible adult/relative).

"... I would like to keep the time between cessation of exercise and neuromuscular function test to be the same between the legs."
How do you plan to do that? You can't test both legs at the exact same time. (Maybe you could, but it wouldn't be easy, and it would probably affect your results.) One leg has to be tested before the other. I suppose you could alternate back and forth as to which leg is tested first during a break from the fatiguing task.

My name is Tharushini Anandam, and I am a PhD student at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia. I am currently undertaking a research project as part of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The purpose of my research is to increase the physical activity levels in young men with overweight or obesity by using goal-oriented strategies. They will be invited to participate in a 6-week telehealth-supported exercise program involving cardiorespiratory exercise and resistance training.
In order to conduct this study, I am seeking to recruit male participants between the age range of 18 to 34 years old who are currently with overweight or obesity (BMI 25kg/m2 to 39.9 kg/m2). Participants must be Australian citizens residing in Australia and should not have any mobility impairment. Participants will be asked to complete a pre-screening questionnaire, and if cleared, will be followed by participating in a 6-week exercise program.
It would also be greatly appreciated if you could forward this advertisement to any male friends, colleagues, or family members who meet the above criteria and may be interested to participate in a 6-week exercise program via telehealth. Thank you for your time and assistance.
If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact me via email at tanandam@swin.edu.au

During my studies at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, I had the topic of design thinking as part of product management. That was real interesting for all of us. Now I'm writing my bachelor's thesis on the question of how design thinking can be used in future projects and exercises.
What experiences have you gained with design thinking that can be used sensibly at a university? What advantages and disadvantages do you see?
Relevant answer
Answer
Design thinking develops. There are dimensions such as framing the problem, envisioning solutions, specifying materials and techniques, preparing, implementing, and querying within all other dimensions. But as I learned by conducting developmental interviews with 80 faculty members from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 20 departments ranging from architecture to interactive design and game development. These dimensions can be divided into more detailed dimensions and each dimension goes through four increasingly complex modes of practice, which we identified as the beginning, exploring, sustaining, and inspiring modes. Each mode is imbedded in the next resulting in a new scale of development and time to establish. I used a computerized text analysis based on pairs of keywords to group the faculty answers into dimensions and define the modes within each.
The methods and results are detailed in my book Teachers, Learners, Modes of Practice: Theory and Methodology for Identifying Knowledge Development. Routledge, 2017. See especially, Chapter 5 and the 20 pages of appendices on the Design Praxosystem.
To help make the results easily accessible, I wrote a novel where the SCAD results were applied to the development of artificially intelligent robots. The novel is called How they designed my kind: The Autobiography of the First Artificially Intelligent, Conscious Being and is available free at changingwisdoms.net/Joshua.
A disadvantage of design thinking lies in people’s narrow conceptions of what it is and where to use it. Both sources above show ways that people’s narrow conception of design thinking can be overcome. Design thinking applies way beyond products. Education, social services, personal relationships, emergency responding, political activity, writing, drawing, conducting research are a few of the areas I have seen people apply it.

Hello,
I've recently found in my study that with the intensity increased, the correlation between RPE and HR and VO2 strengthened. This phenomenon was also observed in previous studies, e.g., The increase of perceived exertion, aches and pain in the legs, heart rate and blood lactate during exercise on a bicycle ergometer.
However, what's the mechanism behind this? Could you please help me with this puzzle if any one happened to see this question here and know the answer.
Thanks very much!
Best regards,
YONG
Relevant answer
Answer
There is also emergent evidence on the correlation between RPE & breathing pattern (especially respiratory frequency) showing a very close association at high relative exercise intensities. The work of Andrea Nicolò and colleagues demonstrated that central command is the primary driver or Rf especially above the RCP. Since central command activity mediates Rf and RPE, this could explain this relationship across many contexts.

E.g. effect of aerobic exercise cycle on cardiac remodeling start to dissapear app. 2 weeks after ending the training cycle. However, I could not find info on VOmax.
Relevant answer
Answer
The VO2 max begins also to decrease fairly quickly after detraining. Significant reductions in VO2 max occur within 2 to 4 weeks of detraining. The highly-trained individuals may lose 4-14% of their VO2 max, while beginners' VO2 max declines to a lesser level. One key factor contributing to this drop is the decline in the stroke volume. Other factors include, but are not limited to, decreased capillary density, amount of mitochondria, and oxidative enzyme activity, all of which reduce the muscles' ability to utilize oxygen.
See below, a few classic references reporting on the effects of detraining on cardiovascular responses to exercise.

What are foot shortening exercises for correction of medial arch of foot.
Relevant answer
Answer
As far as I learned, foot shortening exercises (also referred to as short foot exercises) are a form of sensory-motor training that activates the intrinsic muscles of the foot and actively forms/supports the longitudinal arch and the horizontal arch.
According to the principle of progressive overload, short foot exercises can be performed in a sitting position (with the hips, knees, and ankle at 90º of flexion) and subsequently performed in standing positions (a single-leg stance, thereby providing bodyweight resistance).
Patients are required to pull the head of the first metatarsal bone toward the heel without bending the toes and maintain the state for 10-20 sec (note: the forefoot and the heel should e prevented from being lifted off the ground and smoothly induce the flexion of the head of the metatarsal bone). Patients may need to perform 10-15 repetitions/set, three sets/session. Sessions should be repeated thrice/week in a 5-8-week program.

Hello,
For my recent project, I am looking into the effects of TENS therapy and a home exercise program compared with just a home exercise program alone in pelvic girdle pain. Is this research question 2 experiments ( so I would thus have 2 independent variables ) or is it an experiment and control? E.g. the experiment is TENS and control is the exercise program? In both cases what are the appropriate statistical tests?
Relevant answer
Answer
From what I understand, you have two groups, i.e., one getting home exercise alone and the other getting home exercise plus TENS. Thus, you are only examining the effect of TENS (when added to home exercise). A t-test is appropriate if the data are normally distributed and you have equal variance. If you do not meet the assumptions for a parametric statistical test, you should run a Mann-Whitney test.

I have just recently started a new "weekend project" in addition to my master's studies and I am looking for a data-set. I would like to use some Operations Research to design an optimal gym schedule that conforms to a specific set of constraints.
The idea is to create a daily gym schedule that conforms to a set of constraints (e.g. time, target muscles etc) as well as a set of physiological constraints. The physiological constraints are things such as do not exercise muscle-x and muscle-y together or do not do abdominal exercises for two consecutive days etc.
However the problem I face is data, specifically a data-set (or data-sets).
Are there any open-source datasets which list an exercise, as well as all the muscles targeted? Preferably one that lists as much of the physiological data as possible. E.g. which stabilizers are activated, which secondary muscle is also activated, is it an extension or flexion. I am also looking for datasets which could help me with some of the physiological constraints, such as muscle recovery times, which muscles not to exercise together etc?
My goal is to algorithmically capture an OR model which I can provide with input data such as muscle group target and time and the model must output a schedule of exercises which targets all the muscles in that muscle group, is not physiologically harmful and is within the time constraint.

I don't have a specific data set or study in mind, but the US Army should have some data sets from recent studies. They recently transitioned to a new physical fitness plan developed with the physiological aspects of job performance in different areas, instead of a generalized physical fitness plan for all soldiers. Also, it should be fairly varied with categories ranging from 18 to 40 years old, various Heights, body fat content, sex, ethnicity, and race. Not to mention most soldiers are in good physical condition, healthy with proper nutrition and hydration.

As the holiday season comes into full gear and the year comes to an end, many people may be thinking about starting regular physical exercise as a new activity for the new year whether to keep fit or maintain ideal body weight. Throughout the years, there have been so many commercially well-known products from gym membership to home gadgets that people can do at home. Whether the gyms are used for exercises or for socializing, the lure to get new members to replace the members that quit is pretty much constant. Why do people quit the gym? As for home gadgets are concerned, they lure people with all kinds of gimmicks. They even make gadgets that require no actual conscious muscle contractions. The gadgets have electrodes to actually stimulate and contract the muscle fibers for you. People can buy a very expensive stationary bicycle and have a coach appear on a monitor screen cheering you on while exercising. Whether it's the gym or home gadgets to do exercises, most have failed and do not have much staying power. People eventually quit the gym for whatever reason, and the gadgets end up collecting dust or parts of a garage sale. Physical exercise to keep fit and to spend the extra calories consumed requires both work and commitment. One form of natural activity that people forget and underestimate that can still be used as an exercise to keep fit and healthy is "walking". The long lower limbs are perfectly made and have evolved to be used so we can be mobile and independent to move from one place to another and not only from the couch to a dining chair or inside the house to a driver's seat of a car.

1kg/ 8 times of Rep/ 30s/ 5 Sets/ 3m/ 3 sessions/week. Strengthening exercises
Kindly find out the loading prescription of non-dominate Biceps and the reason for choosing this loading ?
Relevant answer
Answer
It would be uncommon to prescribe a lower relative load to the weaker muscle. Why don't you do 1-RM testing on each arm and then prescribe the same training load (% 1RM) for each arm based on it's own 1-RM... the weaker arm will ultimately have a lower absolute load, but same relative load...
The National Strength and Conditioning Association uses the following RepMax table:
1 repetition max = 100% of 1RM
2 repetition max = 95% of 1RM
4 repetition max = 90% of 1RM
6 repetition max = 85% of 1RM
8 repetition max = 80% of 1RM
This would be a good starting point.... but remember that these are repetition max estimates and therefore training should be slightly below that for repeated sets. Also, it looks like you are just doing as many repetitions as possible during each 30 sec work bout, if I am reading it correctly. You may want to go on the lower end of the relative load, but 50-70% seems like a reasonable range. It depends on how many repetitions you want them to complete.... there is no prescribed load for your proposed protocol. Try it out on a few people and see where their repetition ranges fall and let that guide your decision!
Good luck!

In his book Black Swan, Taleb (2010) believes that the human mind is subject to many blind spots, illusions and biases and that: “The right strategy for inventors and entrepreneurs is to rely less on detailed plans and to focus as much as possible on creative thinking and recognizing opportunities when they arise. Excessive attention to what we know results in yet another similar weakness: we tend to learn the details instead of adopting general laws.” Resistance to change has long been cited as one of the key reasons why companies do not adapt to change on time. One of the approaches is exercise "How to destroy a company". Employees and stakeholders can be divided into groups to find the most effective ways to destroy a company. Lisa Bodell, founder and CEO of the company “Futurethink”, uses simple techniques to help organizations embrace change and increase their ability to innovate, such as Google, Novartis, and HBO: “The first time the HBO team performed this exercise, it created three tactics that a top competitor could use to destroy HBO. The American mining company regularly conducts this exercise in order to protect itself from both competitive and market forces.” Modern management has always existed for “best practices”. In trainings, managers use role models to encourage and direct change. New researches suggest a method better than the previous one. Scientists from the Kellogg School of Management in the USA conducted a series of experiments, and in one such experiment managers were gathered in small teams to create unusual creative purposes for a cardboard box. Before the brainstorming, half of the group was given the task to share the unpleasant stories from the past six months, and the other half was given the task to share the stories they are proud of. According to the results of the experiment, the teams that shared unpleasant stories generated 26 percent more ideas than the groups that shared proud stories.

I has calculated the fat oxidation during exercise every 5 minute till 60 minutes, and found the negative fat oxidation when the RER is reached up more than 1.00 (using the Perronet's equation). How should I do with the negative result? Should I cut that result before calculating the total fat oxidation or calculate the total fat oxidation by using all results which are positive and negative?

Answer
Hi Parinom.
I am not familiar with Perronet's equation and I would recommend Frayn's stoichiometric formulae for calculating the oxidation of these energy substrates, as they are the most widely used in the literature.
With regard to the negative values in lipolysis when RER>1 is reached, this is due to the total dependence on carbohydrates from this point, so that fat oxidation is non-existent or 0. Therefore, although the formula shows a negative value, this will be 0 whenever the RER is greater than 1, as Frayn himself explains in his article ( ).

It is fully developed after it passed the entrance length. The height of the domain is 0.02 m and the length is 1 m. Please help me! You can see the following figure. Thank You in advance! I will appreciate your help !

Hello,
I am teaching a class on biostatistics this semester and want to introduce an exercise where students critically evaluate the methods section of scientific literature. So, I am looking for examples of published papers with problematic experimental design or statistics (e.g. non random sampling, pseudo-replication, violation of assumptions, type 1 error, etc.). If you are not comfortable calling out scientists in public, please feel free to send me suggestions in a direct message. I'll keep a list for anyone who would find this useful in the future. Thanks for your help!
