Maturity-related differences in systemic pulmonary and localized fatigue threshold among youth Male athletes

Purpose: To examine the reliability and the maturity-related differences of fatigue thresholds (FTs) among youth males. Methods: Twenty-nine youth males (11–17 y) completed 2 ramp exercise tests on a cycle ergometer. Systemic FTs were calculated from …

Oxygen Delivery and Muscle Deoxygenation during Continuous, Long- and Short-Interval Exercise

This study compared the O2 delivery (a central determinant of VO2) and muscle deoxygenation (reflecting a peripheral determinant of VO2) during intense continuous, long-interval, and short-interval exercise protocols. Twelve young men completed the 3 …
