Swimming with Swimsuit and Wetsuit at Typical vs. Cold-water Temperatures (26 vs. 18  ℃)
This study aimed to compare three swimming conditions in a swimming flume with water at 26 ℃ (using swimsuit) and 18 ℃ (randomly with swimsuit and wetsuit). Seventeen swimmers (32.4±14.7 years old, 175.6±0.06 cm height, and 70.4±9.8 kg body mass) performed three bouts until exhaustion at a 400-m front crawl pace (24 h intervals). ANOVA repeated measures compared the experimental conditions. Swimming at 26 ℃ with swimsuit evidenced a higher metabolic demand (total energy expenditure; (E)), comparing to 18 ℃ swimsuit (p=0.05) and with 18 ℃ wetsuit (p=0...

Estimating external loads and internal demands by positioning systems and innovative data processing approaches during intermittent running activities in team and racquet sports
Publication date: February 2018 Source:Sports Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Volume 34, Issue 1 Author(s): Matthias W. Hoppe, Christian Baumgart, Jürgen Freiwald In this article, we introduce positioning systems in combination with innovative data processing approaches for estimating external loads and internal demands during intermittent running activities in team and racquet sports. Potential application fields are (i) performance analyses for profiling athletes; (ii) training analyses for allowing periodizations; and (iii) rehabilitative analyses for supporting return to play/competition decisions. Technological prere...

Case Study: Physical Capacity and Nutritional Status Before and After a Single-Handed Yacht Race.
Abstract During solitary sailing the sailor is exposed to sleep deprivation and difficulties in consuming regular meals. Sailor weight loss is often reported. In the present case study we describe changes in the physical capacity and the nutritional status of an athlete attempting a single-handed yacht race around the globe. An Italian male ocean racer (GM) asked for our help to reach an optimum level of physical and nutritional preparation. We planned his diet after assessing his anthropometric parameters and body composition as well as his usual energy intake and nutritional expenditure. The diet consisted in 12...

Cardiovascular Drift during Training for Fitness in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose: The health benefits of a training program are largely influenced by the exercise dose and intensity. We sought to determine whether during a training bout of continuous versus interval exercise the workload needs to be reduced to maintain the prescribed target heart rate (HR). Methods: Fourteen obese (31 ± 4 kg·m−2) middle-age (57 ± 8 yr) individuals with metabolic syndrome, underwent two exercise training bouts matched by energy expenditure (i.e., 70 ± 5 min of continuous exercise [CE] or 45 min of interval exercise, high-intensity interval training [HIIT]). All subjects completed both trials in a randomiz...
