Filter by:Backpacking is an increasingly popular outdoor recreational activity. The base pack weight (BPW) includes gear that is not consumed or worn on the body: shelter, sleep system, weather-proofing layers and personal gear to ensure a degree of comfort and safety. As such, reducing BPW is one of the most important tasks a backpacker manages when preparing for a trip. Available recommendations for ideal BPW are currently inconsistent, lack clear parameters, and rely on anecdotal evidence. The study aims to collect field data on perceived exertion and heart rate (HR) in relation to BPW during a day-long interval of hiking. Such findings can have implications on the cost and safety profiles extending from recreational backpacking to military and wilderness rescue operations.
Treatments are an administration of a mixed extract of Garcinia mangostana 400mg and Solanum Lycopersicum Fructus 200mg (OKSI(R) POM TR 193324351) and placebo control.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients with subjective dysphagia will be tested for tongue strength fatigue using a strictly defined fatigue paradigm. A maximum of 40 sets will be performed, each set consisting of 5 repetitions of 80% of maximum isometric pressure (MIP) at the anterior tongue, followed by a MIP at the anterior tongue. Cut-off criteria are a MIP <50% of the baseline MIP, pronounced subjective discomfort and/or exceeding the allocated test time of 30 minutes.
Physical exercises proves to be an option to revert a vicious cycle and aggravation of the painful that chronic low back pain can provide, which can improve the mobility and stabilization of the spine, muscle strength, motor coordination and general aerobic conditioning. In addition, photobiomodulation using light emitting diodes (LEDs) has attracted attention for acute and chronic pain and wound healing, being used as a resource for prevention and recovery of lesions. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the efficacy of aerobic training systematized with Deep Water Running associated with photobiomodulation in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Individuals of both sexes, sedentary, who present chronic low back pain, aged between 30 and 55 years (middle-aged individuals) who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be invited to participate. Anthropometric measurements, maximal stress test, functional tests, physiological measures and questionnaires concerning disability and pain, besides psychological ones, will be carried out. After the evaluations, the participants will be randomized into three experimental groups with 15 participants in each: the first group will be the training group that will hold interval training sessions in addition to continuous training sessions (GT). The second group will perform the same training model, and before the training sessions the LED will be applied (GTL). And the third group will only receive the LED application (GL).
The aim is to study per and post-exertion variations of biological markers during an ultra-endurance race
Patients who sustain a concussion will undergo a sub-maximal exercise protocol throughout their recovery. Cerebrovascular function, heart rate, and symptom severity, and exercise volume will be monitored throughout.
Overweight divers face a challenging activity such as immersions, starting from a higher levels of circulating cytokines and oxidative stress. Ketogenic Diet (KD) is described as effective in weight loss, in countering inflammation and oxidative stress, and used in the control of drug-refractory seizures. The aim of our pilot study was to evaluate if a ketosis state induced by a specific dietary regime, may have a protective effect on oxidative stress damages and inflammatory status, that accompanies both overweight and diving activities. Blood and urine samples from six overweight divers were obtained a) before (CTRL) and after a dive breathing Enriched Air Nitrox and performing light underwater exercise (NTRX), b) after a dive (same conditions) performed after 7 days of KD (K-NTRX). We measured urinary 8-isoprostane and 8-OH-2-deoxyguanosine evaluating lipids peroxidation and DNA oxidative damages. Plasmatic IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were measured to investigate the inflammatory status.
