  • Responses and Adaptations to Acute and Chronic High
    RESPONSES AND ADAPTATIONS TO ACUTE AND CHRONIC HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING by NICHOLAS H. GIST (Under the Direction of Kirk J. Cureton) ABSTRACT Sprint interval training (SIT) involving repeated 30-s “all out” efforts appears to be an effective and time-efficient stimulus for fitness improvement. Three studies were completed for this dissertation. The purposes were: 1) to perform a meta-analysis to assess the population effect of SIT on aerobic capacity; 2) to compare physiological responses of two SIT protocols of different modality; and 3) to determine the effects of a SIT intervention on fitness and performance. The meta-analysis revealed SIT has a small-to-moderate effect (Cohen’s d = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.10, 0.55; z = 2.79, p < 0.01) on aerobic capacity. The effect is large in comparison to no-exercise control groups (Cohen’s d = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.93; z = 5.84; p < 0.01) and not different when compared to endurance training control groups (Cohen’s d = 0.04, 95% CI: -0.17, 0.24; z = 0.36, p = 0.72). In the second study, mean values for %VO2peak and %HRpeak for cycling (80.4 ± 5.3% and 86.8 ± 3.9%) and calisthenics (77.6 ± 6.9% and 84.6 ± 5.3%) were similar (p > 0.05), but calculated effect sizes revealed a meaningful difference in %VO2peak (Cohen’s d = 0.51) and %HRpeak (Cohen’s d = 0.57). In the third study, moderately-trained members of the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) completed 4 weeks of exercise training 3 days∙wk-1 consisting of either ~60 min of typical cadet physical training (TCT) or whole-body calisthenics (HIT) involving 4-7 sets of 30-s “all out” burpees separated by 4 min of active recovery.

  • Interval Training
    Interval Training By Chet Zelasko, PhD Have you ever heard that if you exercise, you’ll burn calories for hours after a workout? Have you ever found yourself stuck on a weight-loss plateau? Would you like to get more benefit from your workouts and get fit faster? I’ll bet your answer to all three questions is yes. The solution to all three is interval training. This health info will give you the latest science on interval training and explain how you can construct your own interval-training workout. The Science Interval training has been used by athletes for decades. Coaches found that if they had their athletes run or swim faster over shorter distances, it would train their bodies to go faster at longer distances. They didn’t know why, but it seemed to work. Naturally this opened the door to many research studies—and now we know why. Using scientific jargon won’t make it easier to understand, so what follows is an oversimplified version of two changes in the body researchers discovered as a result of interval training. First, the athletes were breaking down muscle fibers, and when the muscle fibers were rebuilt, they were bigger and stronger. While the muscles were repairing themselves, they used more energy—that’s what causes the increase in metabolic rate. The problem is that it occurs only after high-intensity workouts. Your 45-minute walk or 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer is very important to your cardiovascular health, but you recover in about 10 minutes and you don’t burn that many extra calories after you’re done.

  • Training for Cardiovascular Fitness, Continued
    Training for Cardiovascular Fitness, Continued UNIVERSITY SPORTS MEDICINE Training for Cardiovascular Fitness What’s in it for me? Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise: • increases your energy and stamina • helps control blood pressure • improves your blood lipid profile (cholesterol) • helps you burn extra calories to maintain an ideal weight. Aerobic power helps an athlete sustain a challenging exercise pace over time. When you get tired, your movements are no longer fluid and efficient. You are more likely to make mistakes or get injured. Even though you can expect benefits from engaging in cardiovascular exercise, not all exercises are suitable or safe for everyone. You should, therefore, consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. The information provided in this handout should not substitute for medical counseling specific to you. What kind of exercise will most improve my cardiovascular fitness? Cardiovascular exercise is any activity that: • involves the large muscles of the body (especially the legs) • is rhythmic and continuous in nature (as opposed to stop-and-start) • challenges your heart and lungs to work harder. Activities like walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming, aerobics, rowing, stair climbing, hiking, cross country skiing and many types of dancing are “pure” aerobic activities. Sports such as soccer, basketball, squash and tennis may also improve your cardiovascular fitness. However, endurance training could improve performance in these sports. Athletes typically use three training methods to improve their cardiovascular fitness: • slow to moderate-intensity distance training • moderate to high-intensity interval training • high-intensity continuous exercise. What’s the best type of cardiovascular exercise? The best type is any exercise you enjoy and will continue to do! Select an activity that matches your personal preferences and health and fitness status.

  • Strength Training
    Strength Training Strength training is a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When properly performed, strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury,[1] increased bone density, increased metabolism, increased fitness,[2][3] improved cardiac function, and improved lipoprotein lipid profiles, including elevated HDL ("good") cholesterol.[4] Training commonly uses the technique of progressively increasing the force output of the muscle through incremental weight increases and uses a variety of exercises and types of equipment to target specific muscle groups. Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, although some proponents have adapted it to provide the benefits of aerobic exercise through circuit training. Sports where strength training is central are bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, Highland games, shotput, discus throw, and javelin throw. Many other sports use strength training as part of their training regimen, notably American football, wrestling, track and field, rowing, lacrosse, basketball, hockey and football. Strength training for other sports and physical activities is becoming increasingly popular. Uses The benefits of weight training include greater muscular strength,
