Furthermore, no interaction or between-group differences were evident for RPE across either session (P > .05). Conclusions: HR and RPE values were comparable between masters and young cyclists when relative HR responses and HR training load models are used. This finding suggests HR and RPE methods used to monitor or prescribe training load can be used interchangeably between masters and young athletes irrespective of chronological age.]]> Wed 28 Jul 2021 15:32:45 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49900 0.05). 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:18154 -1·min^-1) completed repeat progressive maximal tests (PMT) and time-to-exhaustion (TTE) tests at 90% VO₂max wearing either manufacturer-recommended LBCG (rLBCG), undersized LBCG (uLBCG), or loose running shorts (CONT). During all exercise testing, several systemic and peripheral physiological measures were taken. Results: The results indicated similar effects of wearing rLBCG and uLBCG compared with the control. Across the PMT, wearing either LBCG resulted in significantly (P < .05) increased oxygen consumption, O₂pulse, and deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) and decreased running economy, oxyhemoglobin, and tissue oxygenation index (TOI) at low-intensity speeds (8–10 km·h^-1). At higher speeds (12–18 km·h^-1), wearing LBCG increased regional blood flow (nTHI) and HHb values, but significantly lowered heart rate and TOI. During the TTE, wearing either LBCG significantly (P < .05) increased HHb concentration, whereas wearing uLBCG also significantly (P < .05) increased nTHI. No improvement in endurance running performance was observed in either compression condition. Conclusion: The results suggest that wearing LBCG facilitated a small number of cardiorespiratory and peripheral physiological benefits that appeared mostly related to improvements in venous flow. However, these improvements appear trivial to athletes, as they did not correspond to any improvement in endurance running performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33308 2%. TSS increased significantly across both day (1.2±1.3; 5.2±1.0) and night sessions (1.4±1.0; 3.6±1.6). However, TSS was significantly higher post-training in the day session and players ingested more fluids during the day session (1.4±0.5; 0.9±0.4 L·hr⁻¹). Reduced thermal stress scores may compromise self-mediated hydration practices in rugby players when training at night and lead to greater body mass loss.]]> Mon 24 Aug 2020 17:28:45 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 ]]>
