PHYSICAL STRESS ON THE BODY USING A VO2 MAX TEST AND ITS EFFECTS ON SHORT-TERM MEMORY IN MALE STUDENTS
(Department of Kinesiology, the University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, the University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, the University of Texas at Arlington, Fall, 2013)Introduction. Research shows that rhythmic exercise changes in serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine and acetylcholine levels all affect cortical arousal and cognitive function (Potter & Keele, 2005). There are many reasons ... -
Physiological Change Through Aerobic Exercise Under Hypoxic Conditions With An Elevation Mask
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)Athletes have found a new way to train to get an edge over their competitors and that is to train in an environment where oxygen is lacking. With a lower supply of oxygen, the body produces the hormone erythropoietin, which ... -
