“…Individuals with relatively high cardiovascular fitness levels (VO 2 peak Ͼ40 ml kg −1 min −1 ) had a decreased susceptibility to temporary threshold shift (TTS) at several frequencies following noise exposure (Manson et al, 1994). Results from our laboratory concur with Ismail et al (1973) that, compared to lower fit persons, individuals with high cardiovascular fitness have more acute hearing and are less susceptible to TTS. These provocative results have yet to be confirmed in a supervised exercise regimen assessing the relationship between hearing ability and cardiovascular fitness over time.…”

“…Although this is not the first report (Ismail et al, 1973), it is the first controlled study in which pure-tone threshold and TTS are compared before and after an 8-week cardiovascular exercise training regimen at quiet and following noise exposure. Individuals considered to be in a moderately low cardiovascular fitness category (VO 2 peak Ͻ32 ml kg −1 min −1 ) were aerobically trained for 8 weeks and improved theirVO 2 peak 25% to a mean of 37 ml kg −1 min −1 .…”

“…Ismail et al (1973) suggested that increased activity of key oxidative enzymes associated with cardiovascular fitness may be partly responsible for the better hearing ability in high fit subjects. Perhaps the well-known exercise training adaptations that occur in skeletal muscle carry over in some degree to the stria vascularis, a relatively high vascular area on the outer wall of the scala media.…”

“…Subjects who completed a 20-week-long physical fitness program improved their peak oxygen consumption (VO 2 peak) as well as baseline hearing thresholds (Ismail et al, 1973). Individuals with relatively high cardiovascular fitness levels (VO 2 peak Ͼ40 ml kg −1 min −1 ) had a decreased susceptibility to temporary threshold shift (TTS) at several frequencies following noise exposure (Manson et al, 1994).…”

This study was designed to determine whether improvements in both cardiovascular fitness and hearing sensitivity occurred following 2 months of aerobic exercise training. Seventeen moderately-low fit (VO2 peak <32 ml/kg/min) young adults were evaluated for cardiovascular fitness and pure-tone and temporary threshold shifts (TTS) at 2, 3, and 4 kHz before and following 10 min of noise. Subjects exercised for 8 weeks by cycling on a bicycle ergometer at 70% of their peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak). Average VO2 peak increased 34% (p < 0.05) above pre-exercise training levels. Both pure-tone hearing (2 and 3 kHz) and TTS improved following 2 months of exercise training at the evaluated frequencies (2, 3, and 4 kHz) (p < 0.05). Cardiovascular health as indicated by VO2 peak was associated with hearing sensitivity. Although the mechanisms have not been identified, these results support the existence of a cardiovascular health-hearing synergism.

“…Indeed, this focuses on a possible influence by noise on extra-auditory functions and the psychological experience of sound (Chtden & Strauss, 1973H6rmann et al, 1970;Ismail et al,1973;Jansen, 1970;Sch6nfeld, 1979).…”

The study investigated the relationship between physical fitness and personality variables at second- and third-order factor-analytic structures. Further, the stability of the factor structures at pre- and post-physical fitness program tests was examined by orthogonal and oblique rotations. Physical fitness and personality data were collected on 56 middle-aged males. The fitness and personality variables were factor analyzed and rotated orthogonally and obliquely by the principal axis form of solution. As a result, five second-order factors were extracted, both initially and finally. Factor scores were estimated for each S on each of the second-order factors, and data were factor analyzed to extract the third-order factors. The second-order factors closely resembled Cattell's factors, but subtle differences were found to exist between initial and final factor structures that may have been due to the influence of the fitness program. Two third-order factors were extracted initially and three finally when the factor scores were rotated orthogonally and obliquely, and physical fitness was associated with two of these hierarchical factors both initially and finally. The hierarchical factor structures appeared to be comparable to the scales of Eysenck. On the basis of the present findings it was concluded that the problem of rotation was not of importance and scientifically uninteresting and that the hierarchical factor solutions were highly stable. Further, it appears that the hierarchical levels of personality are manifested in two syndromes confounded by "traits" and "states" of personality. These two syndromes are Introversion vs. Extraversion and Neuroticism vs. Stability. The extraction of additional factors, such as Low Superego Strength vs. High Superego Strength, as in this study, is completely dependent upon the treatment or conditions superimposed.
