The relationship between anaerobic threshold, excess CO² and blood lactate in elite marathon runnersHearst, William Edward January 1982 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of excess CO₂ (ExCO₂) as a determinant of the anaerobic threshold
(AT) and the subsequent relationship to blood lactate (La). Four highly trained marathon runners (x values, age=30.6 years; % body fat= 8.2; VO₂max = 6 8 ml-kg⁻¹min⁻¹) volunteered to participate in this study. Metabolic and respiratory exchange variables were assessed by an open circuit method utilizing a Beckman metabolic measurement cart interfaced on-line with a Hewlitt Packard 3052A data acquisition system. VO₂max and the treadmill velocity at the threshold of anaerobic metabolism
(V[sub=tam]) were obtained from a progressive, treadmill run (.81 kph. >
min.) until volitional fatigue. V[sub=tam] (Kilometers per hour, Kph)
was calculated from the point of .a non-linear increase in ExCO₂.
Subjects performed set treadmill runs of 10 minutes on alternate
days. Variations (latin square) included runs at V[sub=tam], V[sub=tam+1], [sub=tam+2], and [sub=tam-1]. Analysis of variance with preplanned
orthogonal comparisons and Scheffe post hoc contrasts were
used to determine the effects of the treadmill variations on La
and ExCO₂. There was no significance found between V[sub=tam] and V[sub=tam-1] for La or ExCO₂. Significance (p < .05) was evident with V[sub=tam]< [sub=tam+1, V[sub=tam]< [sub=tam+2] for La and V[sub=tam]< [sub=tam+2] for ExCO₂.
An overall correlation of .89 (p <. 005) demonstrated a high
positive relationship between ExCO₂ and La. Findings indicate V[sub=tam]
to be a critical point in determining the anaerobic
threshold in marathoners, and performance above this demarcation results in a state of anaerobiosis. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

Running a FamilyRowntree, Miriam R. 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis contains two parts. the preface theorizes memory and examines the author’s own experience writing her identity. Part II is a memoir framed with the process of training for a marathon. the marathon acts as a narrative thread that pulls together scenes of memory from the author’s childhood which features the author running away from home on several occasions. Running a marathon and running away from home intertwine to allow the writer to draw conclusions about her life and her family.

The effects of a 160 km run on selected anthropometric, physiological and psychological parametersOltmann, Carmen January 1992 (has links)
Twenty-one male subjects volunteered to participate in this study of the effects of an u1tramarathon run under competitive conditions. Selected anthropometric measurements were made before and after the race. Blood samples were taken before, and within 10 min. of completing the race. Haematocrit and cortisol concentrations were analysed from each sample. Three ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) - local, central and overall, were obtained at two-hourly intervals throughout the race. The shortened form of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was administered before the race. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) test was completed both before and immediately after the race. The average running intensity was estimated to be about 32% VO₂max which would not have caused major lactate accumulation. Repetitive compressive forces as a result of heel-strike resulted in intervertebral disc fluid loss. This resulted in a significant (p<0.05) decrease in stature after the race. Mobilization of glycogen, trig1ycerides and protein for metabolism as well as fluid loss via sweat resulted in significantly decreased body mass after the race. Plasma volume and serum cortisol concentrations were significantly increased after the race compared to pre-race baseline levels. Local RPE responses were dominant throughout the entire race, followed by overall RPE. Running 160 km had an effect on mood state. "Depression", "fatigue" and "confusion" (profile of Mood states) were all significantly increased compared to pre-race scores. Sleep deprivation as a result of running through the night was probably an important contributing factor. The anthropometric profile of the ultramarathon runners in this sample was more like that of the general population than elite marathon runners from the literature. The ultramarathon runners were more extroverted than elite marathon runners, but exhibited a similar Profile of Mood state before the race. The stressor - running 160 km - resulted in a 'strain response'. This was evident in the decreased stature and mass, and increased serum cortisol, "depression", "confusion" and above all "fatigue".
