Effects of 3 months of full-court and half-court street basketball training on health profile in untrained men.

Journal of sport and health science
PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether street basketball organized as 3 v 3 on either a half court (HC) with 1 basket or a full court (FC) with 2 baskets could improve fitness and health profiles of untrained men after 3 mon...

Waist circumference thresholds and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Journal of sport and health science
PURPOSE: This study's purpose was to examine whether established risk categories of waist circumference (WC)-normal, high risk, and very high health risk-reflected significant differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) ...

The relationship of high-intensity cross-training with arterial stiffness.

Journal of sport and health science
BACKGROUND: Central arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor that can be readily affected through engagement in physical exercise training, with resistance and aerobic exercise having disparate affects. Despite the growing popularity of hig...

Wearable monitors criterion validity for energy expenditure in sedentary and light activities.

Journal of sport and health science
BACKGROUND: Wearable monitors (WMs) are used to estimate the time spent in sedentary behaviors (SBs) and light-intensity physical activities (LPAs) and their associated energy cost; however, the accuracy of WMs in measuring behaviors on the lower end...

Heat dissipating upper body compression garment: Thermoregulatory, cardiovascular, and perceptual responses.

Journal of sport and health science
PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of an upper body compression garment (UBCG) on thermoregulatory responses during cycling in a controlled laboratory thermoneutral environment (~23°C). A secondary aim was to determine...

extracts alleviate muscle damage and promote anaerobic performance of trained male boxers and its mechanisms: Roles of androgen, IGF-1, and IGF binding protein-3.

Journal of sport and health science
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of (TT) extracts on muscle mass, muscle damage, and anaerobic performances of trained male boxers and its mechanisms: roles of plasma androgen, insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and IGF-1 binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3...

Three-dimensional impact kinetics with foot-strike manipulations during running.

Journal of sport and health science
BACKGROUND: Lack of an observable vertical impact peak in fore/mid-foot running has been suggested as a means of reducing lower extremity impact forces, although it is unclear if impact characteristics exist in other axes. The purpose of the investig...
