The present study assessed if differences in the metabolic profile, inferred from the anaerobic speed reserve (ASR), would influence the dynamics of heart rate recovery (HRR) after two modes of exercise. Thirty-nine physical education students (14 females and 25 males) volunteered for this study. Participants carried out three separate testing sessions to assess maximal sprinting speed (MSS, 1st session), repeated sprint ability (RSA, 2nd session) and maximal aerobic speed (MAS) using the Université of Montreal Track Test (UMTT, 3rd session). ASR was defined as the difference between MSS and MAS. Heart rate was continuously registered throughout the tests and during the 5-min post-test recovery. To evaluate the influence of ASR on post-exercise, HRR comparisons between ASR-based groups [high ASR vs. low ASR] and sex groups (males vs. females) were performed. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between high ASR and low ASR groups of the same sex for indices of relative HRR after the RSA and UMTT. In addition, after the RSA test, males from the high ASR group had a significantly slower HRR kinetics compared with the males of the low ASR (P < 0.05) and the females of high ASR (P < 0.05); whereas females of the high ASR groups had a faster HRR kinetics compared with the females of low ASR group (P < 0.05). Our results showed that in males, post-exercise HRR could be related to the ASR, whereas in females, the influence of ASR is less clear.  相似文献   

Ettringite and thaumasite: A chemical route for their removal from cementious artefacts   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The present paper reports a new method for converting ettringite and thaumasite in non-expansible and insoluble phases, for its application in the restoration of concrete artefacts subjected to deterioration through sulphate attack. The salts were synthesized by different processes and, after characterization by means of XRD, FT-IR and optical microscopy, were treated with a series of chemicals in order to induce their decomposition. In particular, different solutions containing barium nitrate, barium hydroxide and ammonium oxalate were used to achieve the complete transformation of both phases in barite, witherite, scarbroite and whewellite. Barium hydroxide seemed to be the most appropriate reactant because the others could give rise to efflorescence within the pores of the mortars by leaving free nitrate or sulphate ions inside the materials. The experimental technique was also tested on two concrete samples collected from the bell-tower of St. Nicholas’ Cathedral in Nicosia (Sicily) with encouraging results.  相似文献
