Comparison between continuous and intermittent submaximal exercise at the intensity of maximal fat oxidation

The aim of the study was to determine the rate of fat oxidation during continuous and intermittent acute endurance exercise. Eleven healthy untrained men participated in this study. Subjects performed Bruce protocol test on cycle ergometer to determine maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max).  The exercise intensity in which the highest fat oxidation rate occurs was determined in this exercise test for each subject. Oxygen uptake (VO2) and carbon dioxide (VCO2) production during the exercises were followed by respiratory gas analyzer and whole-body fat oxidation was calculated by indirect calorimeter equations. Subjects performed 45min intermittent (IE) and continuous (CE) exercises in respiratory exchange ratio (RER) at intensity correspondent at the highest fat oxidation rate (Fat max). The peak fat oxidation rate was equal to 40.6% of maximum oxygen consumption of subjects. The changes occurring with time in fat (F=20.67) and carbohydrate (F=19.44) oxidation rates were statistically significant (P<0.01). However, the changes of fat and carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation with time did not show any statistically significant differences between the continuous and intermittent exercises (P>0.05). The results of the study indicate that the continuous and intermittent exercises performed at the exercise intensity ensuring maximum fat oxidation rate provide similar fat oxidation. Especially, for the individuals starting regular exercise applications newly, it can be said that similar positive results regarding fat oxidation can also be obtained by avoiding the insipidity of long lasting exercises and giving breaks

Which Performance Tests Best Define the Special Judo Fitness Test Classification in Elite Judo Athletes?

© 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)The normative values of the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) are used to evaluate judo athletes, and the question arises of which performance tests from crucial motor abilities best define the SJFT classification in elite judo athletes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between elite judo athletes’ physical performance and the evaluation using SJFT index norms. Nineteen judo athletes (11 females) (22.8 ± 2.5 years old) from the senior judo national team voluntarily participated in this study. Body composition, reaction time, balance, flexibility, agility, hand grip strength, 20 m sprint, vertical jump, SJFT, and Wingate tests were performed by athletes on four separate days at one-day intervals. Athletes were classified as regular and above (≥regular) or poor and below (≤poor) according to their SJFT index scores. Simple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate this classification’s consistency with performance test results. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals related to each possible factor and Wald test statistics were calculated. The SJFT index classification was associated with Wingate peak and mean power, vertical jump, and sprint performance results (p 0.05). SJFT index classificatory norms are mainly related to athletes’ anaerobic power. Higher anaerobic power increases athletes’ possibility of being classified as ≥regular.Peer reviewe

Habit or lack of education? Hypohydration is present in elite senior judo athletes even during a weight-stable training camp

© The Author(s) 2022. This is the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1177/1747954122112243It has been well-documented that high-level judo athletes presented a high level of hypohydration during weight-cutting and competition periods. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the hydration status of high-level judo athletes during a weight-stable training period. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate elite judo athletes? hydration status, body mass change, and fluid intake during a weight-stable training camp. Twenty-seven judo athletes (women n?=?8, men n?=?19, body weight?=?79.6?±?20.9?kg) from the senior national judo team voluntarily participated in this study. Data were collected in the morning after waking up and before and after the morning and evening training sessions. On the second day, the measurements were taken again in the morning after waking up. Urine-specific gravity (USG) was classified as hydrated (USG ?.05). Most of the elite judo athletes presented hypohydration (92.6%). The relationship between the fluid intake of the athletes and the changes in USG and body weight values during 24?h was not significant (p?>?.05). The current study?s findings revealed that high-level judo athletes present a high level of hypohydration even during a weight-stable training camp. Furthermore, the training sessions during the experiment period (24?h) worsened the hydration status of the senior athletes in all weight categories for both women and men.Peer reviewe

Idiopathic adrenal hematoma mimicking neoplasia: A case report

AbstractIntroductionAdrenal haemorrhage is a relatively rare condition. If there is not a specific ethology describing adrenal hematoma, then, this is termed as ‘idiopathic adrenal hematoma’.Presentation of caseWe presented a case of idiopathic adrenal hematoma in this study. A 62-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for evaluation of a 40mm mass in the left upper abdominal cavity. The histopathological findings of the surgical specimen revealed a hematoma with normal adrenal tissue.DiscussionThe incidence of adrenal haemorrhage was found to be 1.1% regarding autopsy results. The Adrenal gland is highly vascular and vulnerable to haemorrhage. Before a surgical operation, it is difficult to diagnose idiopathic adrenal hematomas.ConclusionAn adrenal hematoma should be kept in mind when adrenal masses assessing

Effects of Continuous and Intermittent Running Training on Body Composition and Aerobic Capacity

Bu çalışma, sürekli ve interval koşu antrenmanlarının vücut kompozisyonu ve aerobik kapasite üzerine etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya düzenli olarak egzersiz yapmayan, gönüllü 38 erkek katılmıştır. Araştırma grubu, sürekli koşular (n=13), interval koşular (n=12) ve kontrol (n=13) olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Antrenman gruplarına, 8 hafta boyunca, haftada 3 gün antrenman programı uygulanırken, kontrol grubu herhangi bir programa dahil edilmemiştir. Antrenman gruplarının antrenmanlar öncesi ve sonrası ölçüm değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, vücut ağırlığı ve vücut kitle indeksi değerlerinde sadece sürekli koşular grubunda (p<0,05); vücut yağ yüzdesi, toplam skinfold ve maksVO2 değerlerinde ise, sürekli koşu ve interval koşu gruplarında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir (p<0,01). Sonuç olarak, vücut ağırlığının azaltılmasında sürekli koşu metodunun, interval koşu metoduna göre daha etkili olduğu, vücut yağ yüzdesinin azaltılması ve aerobik kapasitenin geliştirilmesinde ise her iki metodun da benzer olumlu etkiler gösterdiği söylenebilir.The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of continuous and intermittent running training on body composition and aerobic capacity. Thirty eight male students voluntarily served as subjects for this study. All subjects did not participate in regular exercise. Subjects were divided into three groups as continuous running (n=13), intermittent running (n=12) and control group (n=13). The control group was not taken in any programs, while a training program was carried out on training groups three times a week during 8 weeks. When the measurement results of pre and post training seasion were compared, a significant difference was determined in body weight and body mass index values in continuous running group (p<0,05) and there was also a significant difference in body fat percentage, sum of skinfold and maxVO2 alues in continuous and intermittent running groups (p<0,01). The results indicated that continuous running method was more effective than intermittent running method for reducing body weight; also both methods have the same positive effects for reducing body fat percentage and improving aerobic capacity
