Endurance

Aerobic capacity of endurance athletes has been a consistent topic throughout research. Different sports require a certain amount of endurance to be successful on the field or court. Much of this research has been done on soccer players. These athletes consistently show a high maximal oxygen capacity, also known as VO2 max. Due to their higher aerobic fitness level they are able to perform closer to their maximum heart rate value as well. Throughout a match the players consistently shift from…

and bolster endurance. They allow one to train harder and for longer.…

improve their cardiovascular endurance and get better results for whatever health goals they are trying to achieve. Cardiovascular exercise slims and tones bodies. In order to "get abs", you do not need to do countless sit-ups to build the muscles. You need to shed the layer of fat on top of those muscles to show them off. Weightlifters will improve their stamina which will enable them to workout harder and eventually lift more weight with more cardiovascular endurance. Elderly folks will be…

Physique and intense training alone will not produce elite level athletes. For the first 100 years of competitive endurance sports success was thought to be a direct result of training and physical attributes. Recently, psychologists discovered the weight of mental attitude on sports performance is even more important than physical strength. Athletes all over the world face mental challenges with their sports every day, but only the athletes that can overcome each challenge reach the highest…

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is an inflammation of the joints that is the result of the body’s own immune system attacking the joints (Peacock & Ostrov, 2000). Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is also known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (Brescia, 2012). There are seven major types of JRA, which are: systemic JIA; oligoarthritis; polyarticular arthritis, rheumatoid factor negative; polyarticular arthritis, rheumatoid factor positive; psoriatic arthritis; enthesitis-related…

fairly confident that I have improved on it considering that was the only time I performed it. Lastly, endurance would be my second most improved aspect. In my first 1.5 mile, I got 11:27 compared to my current record of 10:47. Training for the mile every week is the main reason why I have improved. Not only have I improved on my cardiovascular endurance, but I have also improved on my muscular endurance. In the first ¼ murph, I got 15:03; by the last ¼ muph that I did, I…

Judgement, Decisiveness, Knowledge, Endurance, and Tact. Judgement and Decisiveness are the first two traits that are codependent upon each other. Judgement is being able to think clearly in order to come to rational, just, decisions, while Decisiveness is ability to decide in a timely manner and having the confidence to stick to that decision. War,…

Questions: 1. Explain how RER is measured and how RER can be used to reflect usage of substrates. RER or Respiratory Exchange Ratio is measured by the VCO2 expired divided by the VO2 consumed. The RER can reflect what substrate is being used whether fats or carbohydrates based on what it is closest to. The range is .7 (fats) to 1.0 (carbohydrates). 2. Does RER change with onset of exercise? Does RER change during steady-state over time? What does RER tell us about substrate utilization over…

Some of the problems and trends that are contributing to Army recruiting challenges today are many young people not meeting the suitability health threshold required; the Army states they will not lower the standards. The overall economy has been improving with several states increasing the minimum wages to levels of basic pay that a new Soldier receive. All recruits now must pass the Occupational Physical Assessment Test (OPAT) that controls which, if any, military professional specialty…

One privilege that I have had that many others have not, was being admitted into International Thespian Honor Society my freshman year. The rule to becoming a thespian is that you must have had spent one year with Mrs. Pla-Guzman, the head of theatre department, you must have completed a total of two shows, either teching or acting, and you must be in her class. I had only been in Mrs.Pla's class for a total of two months, and I had just begun rehearsals for Oklahoma, when I received an email…
