Impact of Exercise Heat Acclimation on Performance in Hot, Cool and Hypoxic Conditions Open
Purpose The aim of this study was to confirm the impact of heat acclimation on aerobic performance in hot conditions and elucidate the transfer of heat adaptations to cool and hypoxic environments. Methods Ten males (VO 2peak : 4.50 ± 0.50…

Post-activation Potentiation: Effect of Recovery Duration and Gender on Countermovement Jump, Agility, and Linear Speed in Team-Sport Athletes Open
Background: Studies assessing post-activation potentiation (PAP) responses comparing male and female athletes are conflicting. Objectives: This study investigated whether differences exist in the duration for optimal post-preload stimulus …

The influence of recovery period following a pre-load stimulus on physical performance measures in handball players Open
The purpose of this research was to establish the optimal recovery duration following a pre-load stimulus on performance measures related to handball players. Seventeen senior male University handball players (mean ± SD: age 23.6 ± 2.3 yrs…

Repeated sprint cycling performance is not enhanced by ischaemic preconditioning or muscle heating strategies Open
Introduction: Both ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) and muscle heat maintenance can be effective in enhancing repeated‐sprint performance (RSA) when applied individually, acting mechanisms of these interventions, however, likely differ. It …

Time-of-day variation on performance measures in repeated-sprint tests: a systematic review Open
The lack of standardization of methods and procedures have hindered agreement in the literature related to time-of-day effects on repeated sprint performance and needs clarification. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investiga…

ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING Open
Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) is an intervention whereby brief intermittent ischaemic episodes are induced in a limb (usually 4x5-minute arterial occlusion bouts, interspersed with 5-minutes of reperfusion) either at the site of interest…

Conduit Artery Diameter During Exercise Is Enhanced After Local, but Not Remote, Ischemic Preconditioning Open
Introduction: The ability of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) to enhance exercise capacity may be mediated through altering exercise-induced blood flow and/or vascular function. This study investigated the hypothesis that (local) IPC enhance…

Sports and environmental temperature: From warming-up to heating-up Open
Most professional and recreational athletes perform pre-conditioning exercises, often collectively termed a 'warm-up' to prepare for a competitive task. The main objective of warming-up is to induce both temperature and non-temperature rel…

Is There an Optimal Ischemic-Preconditioning Dose to Improve Cycling Performance? Open
Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) may enhance endurance performance. No previous study has directly compared distinct IPC protocols for optimal benefit. Purpose: To determine whether a specific IPC protocol (ie, number of cycles…

The impact of remote ischemic preconditioning on cardiac biomarker and functional response to endurance exercise Open
Remote ischemic preconditioning ( RIPC ; repeated short reversible periods of ischemia) protects the heart against subsequent ischemic injury. We explored whether RIPC can attenuate post‐exercise changes in cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and ca…
