One of the numerous methods for determining the upper limit of individual aerobic metabolism is the Conconi test. It is a simple, non blood-based test, which can give an indication of an athlete's condition or state of training. It is an extremely reliable and powerful predictor of performance in an aerobic exercise. It is based on the correlation...

Purpose:
To 1) define the principal components of physical function assessed by 10 common lower extremity physical performance tests (PPTs), and 2) derive a reduced item set of PPTs that efficiently and accurately measures raw performance and limb symmetry on each underlying component in pediatric and adolescent athletes.
Methods:
This study inc...
Background
Previous studies revealed a high rate of abnormal exercise test (ET) results in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in asymptomatic athletes. The physiological background of this phenomenon is not well established. In particular, it is unclear whether sports-induced morphological cardiac adaptations are determinants...
The myths surrounding women’s participation in sport have been reflected in respiratory physiology. This study aims to demonstrate that continuous monitoring of blood oxygen saturation during a maximal exercise test in female athletes is highly correlated with the determination of the second ventilatory threshold (VT2) or anaerobic threshold (AnT)....
Background
Pectoralis major ruptures are rare injuries that can occur at several parts of the muscle. Little is known of the pathoanatomic process and performance following pectoralis major ruptures in young athletes.
Purpose/Hypothesis
The objective of this study was to describe a series of pectoralis major ruptures in military academy athletes a...
We compared the changes in maximum oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) calculated per skeletal muscle mass (SMM) with conventional V̇O2max measures in a 1-year training cycle. We hypothesized that the pattern of changes would differ between SMM-adjusted and absolute or weight-adjusted values, and the differences between groups of distinct training specializati...
