Maximal aerobic power (V̇O2peak) in youth depends on hemoglobin (Hb)—mediated oxygen transport. While sex- and age-specific patterns are established in untrained cohorts, further research is needed in competitive adolescent athletes. We st...
It is unclear whether the resting metabolic rate of individual organ-tissue in adults with high aerobic fitness is higher than that in untrained adults; in fact, this topic has been debated for years using a two-component model. To address this issue...

Background: Increases in maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) occur with high-intensity interval training (HIIT), partially due to an extended duration spent at or near maximal V̇O2 or heart rate (HRmax). HIIT induces a delay in HR and V̇O2...

This study compared the acute effects of a session of different high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) protocols and a session of moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on blood glucose, blood pressure (BP), and heart rate (HR) in people with...
This study examined the effect of repeated bouts of level and downhill running on physiological markers of effort and exercise-induced muscle soreness in trained female distance runners. Ten participants (Age: 24.4 ± 2.0 years; V̇O2peak:...
The aims of this study are the following: To examine whether field tests predict cardiorespiratory fitness in people with coronary heart disease (CHD) and to determine if heart rate (HR) agreement between the first ventilatory threshold (VT1) and fie...
Background: Late preterm (340–366 weeks gestational age [GA]) infants may have abnormal pulmonary development and possible exercise physiology parameters. We aim to assess the effect of late prematurity on exercise capacity in childhood and to...
Biomarkers are important in the assessment of health and disease, but are poorly studied in still healthy individuals with a (potential) different risk for metabolic disease. This study investigated, first, how single biomarkers and metabolic paramet...
Low-carbohydrate diets (LCs) seem effective on weight reduction and maintenance. However, the affect and enjoyment of exercise during LCs is not clear. The purpose of the present study was to compare the psychological responses to high-intensity inte...
Purpose: To characterize plasma metabolomic responses to maximal exercise and their associations with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adults with type 1 diabetes. Methods: In this exploratory pooled secondary analysis, 21 adults (67% female; age,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of skimmed milk as a recovery drink following moderate–vigorous cycling exercise on subsequent appetite and energy intake in healthy, female recreational exercisers. Utilising a randomised cross-over...
PURPOSE: The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated mobility restrictions caused many athletes to adjust or reduce their usual training load. The aim of this study was to investigate how the COVID-19 restrictions affected training and performance physi...
Objectives: This study examined physiological, biochemical, and performance adaptations in 18 semi-professional male soccer players across three seasonal phases: pre-season initiation (PS), pre-competition (PC), and mid-season (MS). Methods: Assessme...

Background: Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) results in transient muscle inflammation, strength loss, muscle soreness and may cause subsequent exercise avoidance. Omega-3 (n-3) supplementation may minimise EIMD via its anti-inflammatory properti...

The aims of this study were to (1) determine the feasibility of a home-based resistance exercise training (RET) program in patients with cystic fibrosis and impaired glucose tolerance using virtual personal training and (2) observe the effects comple...
We investigated the influence of different-length interim periods after a standardized warm-up on the physiological, perceptual and performance responses in males and females. Fourteen participants (eight females, six males; age: 24.7 ± 5.6 ye...
This study was designed to assess the effect of a dairy-based recovery beverage on post-exercise appetite and energy intake in active females. Thirteen active females completed three trials in a crossover design. Participants completed 60 min of cycl...

Background: Whilst the ergogenic effects of carbohydrate intake during prolonged exercise are well-documented, few investigations have studied the effects of carbohydrate ingestion during cross-country skiing, a mode of exercise that presents unique...
