L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est d’étudier les effets de l’avance en âge (seulement deux décennies, 20-40 ans) et d’un programme d’entraînement combiné (Sprint et Musculation) sur les performances et les réponses métaboliques et hormonales à l’exercice supramaximal (Wingate-test). Quatre groupes de sujets ont participé à ce travail. Ils ont été répartis selon l’âge en 2 groupes expérimentaux (âgés de 20 et 40 ans) et en groupes contrôles (âgés de 20 et 40 ans). Les résultats montrent que l’entraînement anaérobie de type sprint et musculation s’accompagne d’une augmentation significative du volume plasmatique chez le sujet entrainé (jeune et âgé). Ces changements du volume plasmatique ont été accompagnés par une augmentation des performances physiques et de la lactatémie pic mesurée à la fin de l’exercice Wingate chez les groupes entrainés. Des adaptations endocriniennes sont probablement à l’origine de ces modifications liées à l’entrainement intense. En effet, après entrainement, nous avons observé une augmentation significative des catécholamines (au repos et à l’exercice) chez les sujets âgés entrainés par rapport aux plus jeunes entrainés. La différence liée à l’âge entre jeune et âgée disparait après entrainement seulement entre les groupes entrainés. Le même constat a été observé concernant les concentrations plasmatiques de glucose et d’insuline chez les groupes entrainés après entrainement. Ces changements du métabolisme de glucose sont accompagnés d’une augmentation de la production du cortisol, de la testostérone et de son hormone porteuse chez le groupe âgé entrainé en particulier. La sécrétion de l’hormone de croissance (GH) a augmenté également en dépit de la différence d’âge après entrainement accompagnée de l'augmentation des taux d'IGF1 et d’IGFB3 chez le groupe âgé entrainé en particulier. En conclusion de ce travail de thèse, il semble qu’un entraînement adéquat de sprint et de musculation serait un bon moyen pour réduire et atténuer les effets délétères de l’avance en âge sur la performance anaérobie, les réponses métaboliques et les sécrétions hormonales. / The aim of this thesis is to study the effects of advancing age (only two decades, 20-40 years) and a combined training program (Sprint and Strength) on performance, metabolic and hormonal responses to supramaximal exercise (Wingate-test). Four groups participated in this research. They were divided according to age in to two experimental groups (20 and 40 years of age) and two control groups (20 to 40 years of age). The results show that anaerobic sprint and strength training was accompanied by a significant increase in plasma volume in trained groups (young and elderly). These changes in plasma volume were accompanied by an increase in physical performance and peak lactate measured at the end of the Wingate-test in trained subjects (young and elderly). Endocrine adaptations are probably the origin of these changes related to the intense training. In fact, after training, we observed a significant increase in catecholamines responses at rest and to exercise in trained elderly subjects compared to younger ones. The age-related difference between younger and older disappears after training only between trained groups. The same result was observed in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in trained groups after training. These changes in glucose metabolism are associated with an increase of cortisol production, testosterone and its precursor steroids only in trained elderly subjects. The secretion of growth hormone (GH) has also increased despite the age difference after training accompanied by an increase of IGF1 and IGFB3 levels only in the trained elderly subjects. In conclusion of this thesis, it seems that an appropriate sprint and strength training would be a good way to attenuate the deleterious effects of advancing age on anaerobic performance, metabolic responses and hormonal secretions.

Title: The effectiveness of conditioning program in the pre-season time in players of the KLH Chomutov ice hockey team. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of conditioning program before the season, using the Wingate Test. Another objective was to determine the load capacity in terms of the on-ice and off-ice training program. We also tried to compare the test results of younger and older players. Methods: During the actual implementation of the thesis, we used selected diagnostic instruments that characterize the level of velocity - power assumptions of ice hockey players in the men's cathegory. For testing we used the Wingate Test. The tests were applied before and at the end of the pre-season time. During the reporting period, we evaluated changes in the level of individual indicators of the Wingate Test. Results: The results show that the off-ice and on-ice conditioning programs do not have the same volume and content of the load. Increased volume and content of the load was observed in the on-ice conditioning program. The content of off-ice conditioning program in the pre-season time in ice hockey is a non-specific activity focused mainly on development of speed-strength abilities. The on-ice training program increases the proportion of the development of...

Orientador: Claudio Alexandre Gobatto / Banca: Sergio Augusto Cunha / Banca: Pedro Balikian Junior / Resumo: Dentro do âmbito do treinamento competitivo evidencia-se a necessidade de criar e aperfeiçoar testes que possam ser aplicados no próprio ambiente de treinamento, priorizando a busca da especificidade na avaliação e de variáveis que possam melhor explicar as alterações do desempenho do atleta. Então, surge uma problemática ao avaliar a aptidão anaeróbia em velocistas em função das metodologias e dos protocolos propiciarem difícil aplicação e inespecificidade, principalmente por não possuírem nenhum teste com o movimento específico para esse grupo. Entretanto, destaca-se na literatura alguns testes laboratoriais utilizados para avaliação da aptidão anaeróbia de corredores, dentre os quais estão o Máximo Déficit de Oxigênio Acumulado (MAOD), o teste de Wingate (TW) e os testes de salto vertical (SV). Com isso, o objetivo do estudo foi padronizar o teste de corrida atada (TCA) analisando a validade, reprodutibilidade e confiabilidade. O protótipo criado para o TCA proporciona a obtenção de valores de força e de velocidade durante o teste que, por sua vez, fornecerá parâmetros de potência pico do TCA (PPTCA), potência média do TCA (PMTCA) e do índice de fadiga do TCA (IFTCA). Para tanto, 10 velocistas do sexo masculino (22,0 l 2,8 anos; 68,1 l 8,9 kg; 1,76 l 0,09 m; 8,1 l 3,1 % Gordura) participaram do estudo. Todos os participantes foram submetidos a avaliação antropométrica, teste incremental para determinação do consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2max) e do limiar anaeróbio (LAn), teste para determinação do MAOD, TW, dois TCA (teste e re-teste) e um esforço máximo na distância de 300 metros (D300m). Através de coletas sangüíneas retirada do lóbulo da orelha após os testes de TW, TCA e D300m, foram determinadas as concentrações pico de lactato sangüíneo ([Lac]p) para cada um dos testes, respectivamente...

So, we find a problem concerning the anaerobic fitness evaluation in sprinters due to the methodologies and the protocols, mainly because there are no tests with the specific movement for this particular group. However, it is possible to mention some laboratorial tests that are used to verify the anaerobic fitness performance of the runners, which are, the maximal deficit oxygen accumulated (MAOD), the Wingate test (TW) and the tests of vertical jump (VJ). Thereby, the aim of this study is to standardize the tied running test (TRT), analyzing the validity, reproducibility and reliability. The TRT prototype provides the instantaneous strength and speed values during the test that give peak power (PPTRT), mean power (PMTRT) and fatigue index (FITRT) parameters. Therefore, ten male runners (22.0l2.8 years old, 68.1l8.9 kg, 1.76l0.09 m; 8.1l3.1 % Fat) participated in this study. All the subjects were submitted into the anthropometric assessment, incremental test to determination the maximal consume of oxygen (VO2max) and anaerobic threshold (AT), the MAOD determination test, the TW, the two TRT (test and re-test) and maximum effort in 300 meters of distance (D300m). Through blood samples removed from the earlobe after the TW, TRT and D300m tests, the blood peak lactate concentration ([Lac]peak) was determined in each test, respectively, [Lac]peakTW, [Lac]peakTRT and [Lac]peakD300m. The tests were separated with intervals of 24 to 72 hours. The data were presented in mean and stand deviation (M l SD)...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze three several-month concentration of a long-distance runner at higher altitude. Specifically, we compared the results of the measured values before staying in zones of high altitude and after arrival from high altitude. The tested individual was housed in Kenya in the town of Iten, located at 2,400 meters above sea level. To elaborate this thesis, we used the method of content analysis and the comparative method. To obtain the results, we used laboratory tests spiroergometry, spirometry, body composition and Wingate test. Then, the data was processed using material significance. The material significance was defined using Cohen's d. Our results showed an increase in red blood cells, an increase in VO2max, a reduction in heart rate, a reduction in morning heart rate. From these results, it is clear that alpine training has a positive effect on the performance of the athlete.

The purpose of this study was to compare the exercise and recovery muscle oxygenation response of Women and Girls during two 30s Wingate anaerobic tests separated by two minutes of active cycling recovery (resistance ≈ 2.5% body weight, 60-80rpm). Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2), deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb), total hemoglobin (tHb), and tissue saturation index (TSI) were monitored at the right vastus lateralis muscle using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) throughout exercise, recovery, and a post-exercise femoral artery occlusion to TSI plateau. Pressure was preset at 250mmHg for Women and 210mmHg for Girls, achieved by rapid inflation in 0.3 seconds, and maintained until a 2 minute TSI plateau occurred or 10 minutes had passed. Twenty Women (23.8[2.12] years) and 13 Girls (9[1] years, combined Tanner stage <4) completed all tasks excepting 1 girl who did not complete occlusion. Significant group, time, and group by time interaction effects were observed for peak and mean power (Watts.kgFFM-1). Women had significantly greater power output compared to Girls for both Wingates. While both groups had reduced power output in Wingate 2, the reduction was significantly greater in Women compared to Girls. No significant group differences were found for resting TSI, recovery TSI, minimum TSI during either Wingate test, or for minimum TSI during occlusion, however a time main effect for Women was observed with minimum TSI being significantly lower in Wingate 1 compared to Wingate 2. Girls had similar minimum TSI for both Wingate tests. Women also demonstrated a significantly greater difference between Wingate minimum TSI and occlusion minimum TSI in Wingate 2 compared to Wingate 1. During Wingate 1, HHb increase was greater in Girls compared to Women and remained elevated during recovery compared to women. Changes in HbO2, HHb, and tHb were reduced in Wingate 2 for both groups, more so in Women for tHb and in Girls for HHb. Recovery was not different between groups with the exception of a faster TSI time constant of recovery in Women (τ =20.25 [13.01]s) compared to Girls (τ =36.77 [13.38]s) which is attributed to a faster HHb time constant in Women (τ =13.6 [0.44]s) compared to Girls (τ =30.77[19.47]s). Both groups demonstrated similar power output results and TSI response across the two Wingate tests but Girls were better able to repeat the anaerobic performance with a consistent TSI minimum between the two tests despite a faster recovery of HHb and TSI in women. These findings, in the context of observed Hb variable differences between groups, provide evidence of greater oxidative metabolism in Girls during a high intensity exercise. / Graduate / December 18, 2016
