Effect of training on the metabolic responses to treadmill sprinting in man
thesis
posted on 2018-05-18, 13:57 authored by Mary E. CheethamWhilst the metabolic responses to submaximal exercise have been
relatively well documented little information is available relating to
maximal exercise. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the
physiological and metabolic responses to sprint running exercise, with
the objective being to contribute to both the understanding of those
factors which underlie or determine performance and also to the current
understanding of intermediate metabolism in man during exercise.
A laboratory-based running test was developed using a non-motorised
treadmill, which allowed the simultaneous examination of performance
and the associated changes in muscle metabolism during sprint
exercise. This test was sensitive enough to monitor the differences in
performance between individuals with varying training backgrounds and
to monitor the changes in performance within the same group of
individuals resulting from a short period of training. [Continues.]
