  1. 1. Differences in delayed onset muscle soreness, lactate levels, perceived exertion and pain between two bouts of blood flow restriction training in young, trained, men and women

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Kristoffer Palo; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background Resistance training with high intensity has multiple health benefits but high intensity (>60% 1 repetition maximum) resistance training is sometimes contraindicated, thus exercise modalities that utilize lower intensity (≤60% 1 repetition maximum) could be used. Low intensity exercise does not normally yield the same benefits as high intensity but when combined with blood flow restriction (BFR) it has been shown to yield similar results to that of high intensity resistance training.

  3. 2. Could we use rate of perceived exertion for guiding isometric load in patellar tendinopathy?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kost- och idrottsvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Härdner Lennartsson; [2020-11-09]
    Keywords : Isometric; Load management; Patellar tendinopathy; Rate of perceived exertion;

    Abstract : Abstract Patellar tendinopathy is a common and for some disabling problem resulting in an ended career or decreased physical activity, lower quality of life and health for elite- and recreational athletes. Isometric contraction has proven to be an effective way to decrease pain immediately after the intervention. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of Potential Determinants of Cycle Commuting Speed : With Special Reference to Gears, Showers, and Ratings of Perceived Exertion

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Erik Cunelius; [2020]
    Keywords : cycle commuting; cycling; speed; velocity; gears; showers; RPE; ratings of perceived exertion; Borg RPE Scale; duration; sex; PACS Q1; cykelpendling; cykling; hastighet; växlar; dusch; RPE; egenupplevd fysisk ansträngningsgrad; Borgskalan; duration; kön;

    Abstract : Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse potential determinants of cycle commuting speed, with the following research questions: 1. How does cycle commuting speed relate to amount of gears, access to shower facilities, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE), when sex, age, weight, body mass index (BMI), duration, last digit in self-reported duration, and cycling area are controlled for? 2.
