Abstract

Aerobic threshold (AerT) and anaerobic threshold (AnT) were determined in 20 non-athletes (physical education majors) and 10 athletes (varsity athletes), aged 20.8-31.5 years, during incremental exercise on the cycle ergometer; workloads were increased by 0.25 Kp every 3 minutes at 50 rpm. AerT was determined using selected respiratory gas exchange parameters, i.e., non-linear increase in VE and VCO2, and peak VO2 . VE-1. AnT was estimated from break-away VE and the onset of decrease in FECO2. The reliability of the testing procedure was studied separately on 24 physical education majors. VO2 max was measured during another incremental exercise on the cycle ergometer. The mean values of VO2 max for non-athletes and athletes were 3.17 l/min (48.1 ml/kg . min) and 3.64 l/min (54.7 ml/kg . min), respectively. The test-retest correlation coefficients were 0.961 for VO2-AerT and 0.786 for VO2-AnT. The mean values of VO2-AerT and %AerT were 1.62 l/min and 51.0% for non-athletes, and 2.23 l/min and 61.9% for athletes. The mean values of VO2-AnT and %AnT were 2.09 l/min and 66.3% for non-athletes, 2.49 l/min and 69.2% for athletes.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
