Comparison of Resistance Training Progression Models to Develop Muscular Endurance in Youth Athletes: Applications for Athlete Monitoring
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Previous research has documented positive effects of periodised muscular endurance resistance training in untrained men and women. Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to compare the efficacy of two ... -
The Effect of Nutritional Ketosis on Performance and Immune Function in Endurance Athletes
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Prolonged (>90 min), strenuous exercise depletes endogenous carbohydrate (CHO) stores and is associated with a transient state of immunodepression and increased illness risk. Commencing exercise with low CHO availability ... -
The Effects of Accentuated Eccentric Loading During Drop Jumps on Strength, Power, Speed and Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate the acute and chronic effects of accentuated eccentric load (AEL) drop jumps (DJ) on athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Study one assessed ... -
The Effects of Eccentric Resistance Exercise on the Physical and Physiological Profile of the High Functioning Older Adult
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The population is ageing in nearly every country in the world and New Zealand is no exception. In New Zealand, 14% of the total population is currently 65 years and older, compared to 12% in 2002 (Statistics NZ, 2012). ... -
Factors Influencing Upper Respiratory Tract Symptom Risk in Elite Team-sport Athletes
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)The occurrence of illness, particularly upper respiratory tract symptom (URTS) episodes, is common in elite team-sport athletes. Recurrent or severe URTS is known to impair performance; despite this, research in elite ... -
Novel Combination of Exercise and Carbohydrate Restriction for Metabolic Health
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)Purpose: To compare the effects of iso-time and quasi iso-effort high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT) or both HIIT and RT (COMBO), all with a low carbohydrate high fat diet (LCHF) in sedentary ...
