The effect of four weeks of polarized training on aerobic fitness and performance of professional rowers by Tahereh Hozouri, Mohammad Fashi, Hamidollah Hassanlouie

“…Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of polarized training on aerobic fitness and performance of professional rowers.Materials and Methods: 20 athletes (10 females and 10 males) who had more than two years of professional rowing experience were divided into two groups of polarized training intensity distribution (75-80% of training volume equivalent to 18 training sessions in zone one with 55-75% of maximum heart rate, 5-10% of the training volume is equivalent to eight training sessions in zone two with 81-87% maximum heart rate and 15-20% of the training volume is equivalent to four training sessions with 88-100% maximum heart rate) and traditional training intensity distribution (20% of training volume in zone one, equivalent to seven sessions per month, 50% in zone two, including 12 sessions per month, and 30% in zone three, including five sessions) were divided and their exercises were performed over four weeks, with six sessions per week (three sessions of rowing + One session of ergometer + two sessions of running) was followed. …”

Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial structural and functional changes after catheter ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with preserved ejection fraction by Qi Zhang, Nan Nan Liu, Jing Shu Sun, Zu Lu Wang, Ming Liang, Gui Shen Li, Mei Yi Wang

“…At 1 month and 3 months post-ablation, LA diameter (LAD), end-systolic/diastolic volumes, and volume index (LAVI) were significantly reduced, while left atrial appendage flow velocity (LAA-V), LAEF, LVEF, peak LA systolic strain (LASRs), and related strain rates were increased (all P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the 1-month LASRs recovery rate (ΔLASRs) was an independent predictor of AF recurrence (hazard ratio = 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.54–0.96, P = 0.023). …”

Force fluctuations regulation and the role of neurophysiological mechanisms throughout different isometric contraction intensities by João H. Oliveira, João S. Gomes, Philipp Bauer, Pedro Pezarat-Correia, João R. Vaz

“…We demonstrated a trend for an inverted U-shaped relationship between force complexity and contraction intensity, with SampEn at ETT and 150%ETT being significantly higher than at 50%ETT and 75%ETT (all p < 0.05). This pattern was accompanied by an increase in motor unit actions potentials and firing rate as the intensity increased up to 150%ETT (all p < 0.05). …”
