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://ogma.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://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36094 Wed 05 Feb 2020 14:51:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36345 Wed 01 Apr 2020 14:00:32 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33307 osm) remains popular for assessing hydration status in exercise science. However, a controlled reliability assessment of micro-osmometry using small sample volumes to measure P_osm remains to be performed. This study aimed to examine the reliability of a cryoscopic micro-osmometer requiring 15-μL samples across varied environmental conditions. Thirteen young adults (26.4 ± 5.7 years) completed a 20-min steady-state cycling protocol on separate occasions in cool/dry conditions and hot/humid conditions. P_osm was assessed using fingertip capillary samples taken in duplication prior to and following 20-min acclimatization and recovery periods around the cycling bout. Absolute (typical error of measurement = .62–.83 mOsmol·kg⁻¹; coefficient of variation = .9% to 1.3%) and relative (intraclass correlation coefficient = .60–.85) reliability of this approach were supported. These findings suggest micro-osmometry requiring small plasma samples (15 μL) can be reliably used by practitioners to assess longitudinal changes and cross-sectional hydration status in varied environmental conditions.]]> Tue 02 Jul 2019 11:16:43 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30104 P < .05) after the first 10-min bout of basketball activity. sRPE TL was only significantly related to Lucia TRIMP (r = .66–.69; P < .05) across 0–10 and 0–20 min. Similarly, mean sprint and circuit speed were significantly correlated across 0–20 min (r = .67; P < .05). In contrast, SHRZ and Banister TRIMP were significantly related across all training doses (r = .84–.89; P < .05). Conclusions: Limited convergence exists between common TL approaches across basketball training doses lasting beyond 20 min. Thus, the interchangeability of commonly used internal and external TL approaches appears dose-dependent during basketball activity, with various psychophysiological mediators likely underpinning temporal changes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:56 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.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://ogma.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://ogma.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 ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49185 0.05) with the exception of significantly lower jog values in the FBS-T20 (957–1,279 vs. 2,195 m; p = 0.04-<0.001). The maximal HR was found to be valid, but the mean HR was significantly higher than previously published data (147–151 bpm vs. 133 bpm; p = 0.014–0.003). Distances covered demonstrated high levels of reliability, with increasing reliability found after additional sessions (coefficient of variation [CV]% = 3.8–14.4). The HR (CV% = 4.8–6.3) and session RPE (CV% = 10.8) demonstrated moderate reliability, whereas approach speed, 10-m sprint, and bowling skills test results possessed low levels of reliability. The FBS-T20 is a practically viable testing and training tool that is valid and reliable for distances covered at high speeds. One full familiarization session is recommended for optimal reliability.]]> Fri 05 May 2023 15:44:43 AEST ]]>
