The purpose of this study was to profile the effect of active versus passive recovery on acid-base kinetics during multiple bouts of intense exercise. Ten males completed two exercise trials. The trials consisted of three exercise bouts to exhaustion with either a 12 min active (20% workload max) or passive recovery between bouts. Blood pH was lower in the passive (p) recovery compared to active (a) throughout the second and third recovery periods [second recovery: 7.18 +/- 0.08 to 7.24 +/- 0.09 (p), 7.23 +/- 0.07 to 7.32 +/- 0.07 (a), P < 0.05; third recovery: 7.17 +/- 0.08 to 7.22 +/- 0.09 (p), 7.23 +/- 0.08 to 7.32 +/- 0.08 (a), P < 0.05]. Exercise performance times did not differ between recovery conditions (P = 0.28). No difference was found between conditions for recovery kinetics (slope and half-time to recovery). Subsequent performance during multiple bouts of intense exercise to exhaustion may not be influenced by blood acidosis or mode of recovery.
The purpose o f this study was to determ ine factors associated with success after gastric bypass surgery. The population, 40 adults who underw ent gastric bypass surgery at a university m edical center, was chosen to study the behaviors o f patients in the long term (5-6 years post-surgery). Subjects were interview ed using a questionnaire that
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
