Feasibility of incorporating high-intensity interval training into physical education programs to improve body composition and cardiorespiratory capacity of overweight and obese children: A systematic review
ConclusionsThe HIIT programmes showed improvements in the variables studied, with interventions two or three times weekly. Therefore, they can be used in schools, as a strategy to combat the childhood obesity pandemic and HIIT can be use alongside with existing PE activities within the same lesson or in specific periods during day school.

Multidisciplinary approach to obesity: Aerobic or resistance physical exercise?
ConclusionThe current evidence noted that both multidisciplinary weight loss programs were efficient in the treatment of obesity and its comorbidity. Moreover, the use of aerobic exercises was more effective in reducing body fat and improving cardiorespiratory fitness. However, using resistance exercises appeared to be more appropriate to enhance the muscle potential. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Genetic predictors of match performance in sub-elite Australian football players: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Exercise Science & FitnessAuthor(s): Ysabel Jacob, Paola Chivers, Ryan S. AndertonAbstractThe current study aimed to determine whether previously identified candidate polymorphisms were associated with match performance in sub-elite Australian Rules Football (ARF) players. The genotypes of thirty players were analysed along with 3x1-kilometre time trial results, ARF-specific skill assessments (handball and kicking), and match performance (direct game involvements) per minute (DGIs/min) to investigate if there was a relationship between any of the variable...

Effect of Deep Oscillation as a Recovery Method after Fatiguing Soccer Training: A Randomized Cross-Over Study
ConclusionIn the present study we found significant effects of DO on maximum leg flexion strength and perceived rate of exertion. Other variables showed a consistent trend in favour of DO compared with the control without significance. DO seems to be a promising method to accelerate the time-course of peripheral recovery of muscle which should be addressed in larger studies in future.

Results from the Hong Kong's 2018 report card on physical activity for children and youth
ConclusionsChildren and youth in Hong Kong have low physical activity and physical fitness levels and high sedentary behaviors despite a generally favorable community environment. A high prevalence of obesity and low levels of family support warrant more public health action. Researchers should address the surveillance gap in active play and peer support.

Age-specific affective responses and self-efficacy to acute high-intensity interval training and continuous exercise in insufficiently active young and middle-aged men
ConclusionOur finding revealed distinct affective and self-efficacy responses to acute HIIT versus both MICE and VICE in the two age groups which assists in our understanding of how individuals in various age populations perceive HIIT. This information will assist in the design and implementation of effective exercise programs for public health, especially for insufficiently active individuals.

Performance of older adults under dual task during stair descent
ConclusionThe gait performance and posture control of the healthy older female adults were disturbed by the second cognitive task. These adults implemented a compensation strategy to enhance their body stability under the dual-task condition during stair descent. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Over-the-counter performance enhancing mouthguards are unable to decrease blood lactate and improve power output during a Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT)
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of Exercise Science & Fitness, Volume 16, Issue 3Author(s): Nicholas J. Hanson, Dylan D. Lothian, Christopher L. Miller, Timothy J. Michael, Michael G. MillerAbstractMouthguards are the primary mode of protection against maxillofacial injuries in contact sports, but recent research has also linked performance enhancement to this piece of equipment. The purpose of this study was to test the claims of the Under Armour ArmourBite (UAAB) mouthguard to decrease blood lactate concentration ([BL]) and increase power when compared to a generic over-the-counter mouthguard (OTC) and no ...

Physiological responses to a five-day adventure race: Continuous blood glucose, hemodynamics and metabolites the 2012 GODZone field-study
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of Exercise Science & Fitness, Volume 16, Issue 3Author(s): Monique E. Francois, Samuel D. Cosgrove, Nicole M. Walker, Samuel JE. Lucas, Katherine E. BlackAbstractAdventure racing is an ultra-endurance activity that imposes a unique multifaceted stress on the human body. The purpose of this field study was to examine the physiological responses to a 5-day adventure race. Eight competitors, two teams (1 female each) in the 2012 GODZone adventure race volunteered. Competitors trekked, cycled and paddled ∼326 km in ∼116 hours. Continuous glucose was measured the day before an...

An electromyographic and kinetic comparison of conventional and Romanian deadlifts
ConclusionThe conventional deadlift would be a better technique for training the rectus femoris and gluteus maximus than the Romanian deadlift as indicated by the greater EMG and NJT values. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Low ALT blood levels are associated with lower baseline fitness amongst participants of a cardiac rehabilitation program
ConclusionLower ALT values, measured prior to the initiation of cardiac rehabilitation programs may indicate frailty of patients and be indicative for poor rehabilitation outcomes. Further, prospective studies should assess the potential correlation between ALT values and rehabilitation efficiency. We aimed to assess the potential correlation between the baseline ALT values and the baseline exercise capacity, as expressed in METs (Metabolic equivalent of tasks). 3806 patients were included in our study.
