Following both protocols, the masters cyclists exhibited a higher final blood lactate value (CON: d ± 90%CI = -0.97 ± 0.80, moderate; HIT: d = -0.70 ± 0.81, moderate) and a lower percent change (CON: d = -0.84 ± 0.87, moderate; HIT: d = -0.70 ± 0.85, moderate) during recovery. To mitigate any influence of masters athletes’ diminished blood lactate clearance, it is recommended that extra recovery time or active recovery strategies be used in masters athletes following exercise.]]> Wed 14 Jun 2023 12:00:48 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30785 60); ii) the time constant of the 30-min heart rate recovery curve (HRRτ); iii) the time course of the root mean square for successive 30-sec R–R interval (RMSSD₃₀); and iv) time and frequency domain analyses of subsequent 5-min R–R interval segments. Results: No significant between-group differences were observed for HRR₆₀ (P = 0.096) or HRRτ (P = 0.617). However, a significant interaction effect was found for RMSSD₃₀ (P = 0.021), with the master cyclists showing higher RMSSD₃₀ values following HIT. Similar results were observed in the time and frequency domain analyses with significant interaction effects found for the natural logarithm of the RMSSD (P = 0.008), normalised low-frequency power (P = 0.016) and natural logarithm of high-frequency power (P = 0.012). Conclusion: Following high-intensity interval training, master cyclists demonstrated greater post-exercise parasympathetic reactivation compared to young cyclists, indicating that physical training at older ages has significant effects on autonomic function.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:34:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43042 0.05). A significant reduction in 10SST peak power was found in both masters (P = 0.002) and young (P = 0.003) cyclists at 1 h post exercise, however, both groups physically recovered at similar rates. Neither group showed significant (P > 0.05) or practically meaningful increases in CK (%∆ < 10%). A significant age-related difference was found for perceptual fatigue (P = 0.01) and analysis of effect size (ES) showed that perceptual recovery was delayed with masters cyclists reporting lower motivation (ES ±90%CI = 0.69 ± 0.77, moderate), greater fatigue (ES = 0.75 ± 0.93, moderate) and muscle soreness (ES = 0.61 ± 0.70, moderate) after 48 h of recovery. Conclusion: The delay in perceived recovery may have negative effects on long-term participation to systematic training.]]> Mon 12 Sep 2022 12:31:25 AEST ]]>
