Ventilatory threshold and maximal oxygen uptake in present triathletes.
The aim of this study was to determine the physiological profile of young triathletes who began triathlon competition as their first sport. Twenty-nine male competitive triathletes (23 regionally and nationally ranked triathletes and 6 elite, internationally ranked triathletes) performed two tests, one on a cycle ergometer (CE VO2max) and one on a treadmill (TM VO2max). Results showed (a) no di...
متن کاملComparison of live high: train low altitude and intermittent hypoxic exposure.
Live High:Train Low (LHTL) altitude training is a popular ergogenic aid amongst athletes. An alternative hypoxia protocol, acute (60-90 min daily) Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure (IHE), has shown potential for improving athletic performance. The aim of this study was to compare directly the effects of LHTL and IHE on the running and blood characteristics of elite triathletes. Changes in total hae...

OBJECTIVE To assess cardiac dimensions in elite Saudi soccer players, and to correlate these measurements with maximal oxygen uptake. METHODS Twenty-three soccer players representing the Saudi National soccer team, and 19 untrained males participated in this study. Cardiac dimensions were measured by M-mode echocardiography, and maximal oxygen uptake was assessed by open-circuit spirometry du...
متن کاملOxygen saturation in high-altitude pulmonary edema.
High altitude, defined as elevations greater than or equal to 8000 feet (2438 m) above sea level, is responsible for a variety of medical problems both chronic and acute. The spectrum of altitude illness ranges from the common, mild symptoms of acute mountain sickness, such as insomnia, headache, and nausea, to severe and potentially fatal conditions, such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE...
متن کاملABC of oxygen: oxygen at high altitude.
The number of people travelling to the high altitude regions, especially South America, Nepal, and India, has risen enormously in the past 10 years. Without special climbing ability these trekkers can be exposed to altitudes they will not have encountered in their home countries. For example, the height of Everest base camp is 5500 m whereas the top of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in the A...
