DB Dill
What did the HFL focus on?
Focused on the physiology of human movement and the effects of environmental stress on exercise
Collecting expired air in a sealed bag
Douglas bag
Conducted studies on physical fitness and endurance capacity during the 1950s and 1960s
Per-Olof Astrand
Reintroduced the biopsy needle in 1966 to study
human muscle biochemistry
Jonas Bergstrom
Published a formula for calculating exercise heart
rate that is still widely used today
Finn Martii Karvonen
Collaborated with future husband, P.-O. Åstrand, to
develop a method to predict aerobic capacity from submaximal heart rate
Irma Rhyming
Studied heat stress and hyrdration at UC Santa Barbara
Barbara Drinkwater
Tool measuring physical work in standardized conditions
Ergometers
Research design testing the same subjects and compare results overtime
Longitudinal research
Research design in collecting data from diverse population and comparing groups in that population
Cross-sectional research
An example of studying acute response to single bout of exercise
Doing squats one time a week
Key historical figures relating towards Exercise physiology (5)
AV HILL
DB DILL
LAWRENCE HENDERSON
IRMA RHYMING
DRINKWATER
Two most commonly used ergometers
Treadmills and cycle ergometers
Environmental conditions that can affects one’s response to acute exercise (5)
-Temperature
-Elevation/Altitude
-Weather
-Air Quality
-Terrain/Region
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a longitudinal study design versus a cross-sectional study design?
Longitudinal studies are often more accurate than cross-sectional studies but
are time consuming and expensive.
Muscle biopsy originally used in early 1900s to study muscular distrophy, was later introduced in 1960s as a method for studying…
