Resting heart rate can also change over time as you become more fit. Athletes tend to have lower RHR numbers, and people who take up an exercise habit often find that their RHR declines a bit over time. (That said, RHR isn’t a direct measure of cardio fitness; there seems to be a...
To be included in the study, subjects were required to be healthy, none-professional sports experience (healthy individuals who are not athletes or have had experience as athletes), and no medication taken recently; subjects with cardiovascular diseases, lung disease and musculoskeletal diseases were ...
Participants had heart rate (HR), blood pressure, resting energy expenditure (REE), 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG), perceptions about readiness to perform, cognitive function (Stroop Color-Word test), bench and leg press performance (2 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% of 1RM and 1 set to ...
Diet-induced thermogenesis, influenced by meal composition, typically accounts for 10–15% of TEE, with protein causing the highest thermogenic effect, while activity energy expenditure varies widely, from less than half of basal energy in sedentary individuals to more than double in athletes [18,...
Optimized energy intake in the diet is crucial for young athletes. In addition, energy expenditure associated with body development and intensive physical activity also increases the demand. Measurement or estimation of REE is usually the first step in determining energy demand, both in the overall ...
