Browne, S. & Renfree, A. (2013). Exercise performance and neuromuscular activity at a fixed level of RPE following manipulation of peripheral physiological status. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 8(3), pp.820-828. PURPOSE: to analyse the effect of manipulation of peripheral physiological status on performance and neuromuscular activity during cycling at a fixed level of RPE. METHODS: following familiaris...

In certain mild extensions of the Standard Model, spin-independent long range forces can arise by exchange of two very light pseudoscalar spin–0 bosons. In particular, we have in mind models in which these bosons do not have direct tree level couplings to ordinary fermions. Using the dispersion theoretical method, we find a 1/r3 behaviour of the potential for the exchange of very light pseudosc...

The anticipatory RPE feedback model (Tucker 2009) proposes that during self paced exercise tasks, muscular work is continually regulated through comparison of a subconscious ‘template’ Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) that serves to protect against the development of catastrophic physiological failure, and a ‘conscious’ RPE that is generated through afferent feedback with regards to periphera...

PURPOSE This study examined the determinants of pacing strategy and performance during self-paced maximal exercise. METHODS Eight well-trained cyclists completed two 20-km time trials. Power output, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), positive and negative affect, and iEMG activity of the active musculature were recorded every 0.5 km, confidence in achieving preexercise goals was assessed eve...

A recently proposed warped top-condensation model generally predicts a light radion φ , with a mass of a few GeV or less, whose interactions are suppressed by a scale of order 100 TeV. In this talk, we present existing constraints and potential signals from the process b → sφ , in the context of such a model. Astrophysical bounds, applicable to very light radions, are also briefly discussed.

The ability to monitor training is critical to the process of quantitating training periodization plans. To date, no method has proven successful in monitoring training during multiple types of exercise. High-intensity exercise training is particularly difficult to quantitate. In this study we evaluate the ability of the session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) method to quantitate training d...

The method to determine the molecular velocity distribution in steady reaction in homogeneous gas phase with negligible reaction heat is formulated, and especially the case where one of the reacting molecules is very light is studied in detail. In this case the perturbation of the distribution function by the chemical reaction becomes most remarkable, and the expansion by the Sonine's polynomia...
