BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate exercise intensity associated with maximum fat oxidation, improvement of body composition, and metabolic status in Korean women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS The study included a T2DM group (12 women) and a control group (12 women). The groups were matched in age and body mass index. The subjects performed a...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the limiting factors of maximal aerobic performance in endurance trained (TW) and sedentary (UW) women. Subjects performed four incremental tests on a cycle ergometer at sea level and in normobaric hypoxia corresponding to 1000, 2500 and 4500 m. Maximal oxygen uptake decrement (Delta VO2 max) was larger in TW at each altitude. Maximal heart rate and ven...

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of marathon performance time (MPT) to maximal aerobic power (VO2 max), physical characteristics, and training indices recorded for 12 weeks prior to a race in 35 female distance runners. The marathon experience of the subjects ranged from two to fifteen races. Physical and aerobic power characteristics (mean +/- S.D.) were: age, 35.7 +/...

background and aim: in skeletal muscle, carnitine plays an essential role in the translocation of long-chain fatty-acids into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent beta-oxidation. despite an abundance of literature describing the basic mechanisms of action of l-carnitine metabolism, there remains some uncertainty regarding the effects of oral l-carnitine supplementation on metabolism and exer...

Sepak bola merupakan olahraga yang berintensitas tinggi sehingga atlet sepak terlebih lagi profesional dituntut memiliki kapasitas aerobik (VO2 Max) optimal untuk menampilkan performa maksimal di setiap pertandingan. Salah satu aspek dapat memengaruhi VO2 Max adalah persentase lemak tubuh. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui pengaruh tubuh terhadap Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan metode potong l...

Background: The ACSL A/G single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with endurance trainability. It was previously demonstrated that AA carriers had a reduced maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) in response to training compared GG carriers, and this explained 6.1% of the variance VO2 max training. aim present study determine prevalence among soccer players. Methods: One hundred sixty-seven m...

The data from the study reveals the normal cardiopulmonary responses in untrained subjects (18-19 yrs) and their aerobic power. Fifty male medical students in the given age group were selected for the study. They were subjected to moderate, predetermined, graded exercise on a bicycle ergograph and parameters like heart-rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate were recorded at rest, just after ...
