A total of 16 recreational athletes (31 +/- 3 years, V0205: 58 6 ml min(-1)-kg(-1)) performed one multistage treadmill test with and one without gas exchange measurements (GEM and noGEM). The whole bLa curve, the lactate threshold (LT), the individual anaerobic thresholds according to Stegmann(IAT(sr)) and Dickhuth (IAT(Di)), and a fixed bLa concentration of 4 mmob.l(-1) (OBLA) were evaluated. The bLa curve was shifted slightly leftward in GEM compared to noGEM (P<0.05), whereas the heart rate response was not different between conditions (P= 0.89). There was no difference between GEM and noGEM for LT (2.61 +/- 0.34 vs. 2.64 +/- 0.39 m(-1) s(-1) P=0.49) and IAT(st) (3.47 +/- 0.42 vs. 3.55 +/- 0.47m-s(-1), P=0.12). However, IATD(Di) (3.57 +/- 0.39 vs. 3.66 +/- 0.44m-s(-1), P<0.01) and OBLA (3.85 +/- 0.46 vs. 3.96 +/- 0.47m-s-1, P<0.01) occurred at slower running velocities in GEM. The bLa response to treadmill tests is mildly affected by wearing a mobile gas analysis system. This also applies to bLa thresholds located at higher exercise intensities. While the magnitude of the effects is of little importance for recreational athletes, it might be relevant for elite athletes and scientific studies.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RischCasselMesserschmidtetal.2014, author = {Risch, Lucie and Cassel, Michael and Messerschmidt, Janin and Intziegianni, Konstantina and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Consistency and reliability of examining intratendinous blood flow in Achilles tendinopathy patients using doppler ultrasonography}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {46 -- 46}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{EngelKopinskiCarlsohnetal.2014, author = {Engel, Tilman and Kopinski, Stephan and Carlsohn, Anja and Cassel, Michael and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Correlation of sonographic subcutaneous adipose tissue measurements with air displacement plethysmography and calipermetry}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {539 -- 539}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{KochCasselLinneetal.2014, author = {Koch, Sarah and Cassel, Michael and Linne, Karsten and Mayer, Frank and Scharhag, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {ECG and echocardiographic findings in 10-15-year-old elite athletes}, series = {European journal of preventive cardiology : the official ESC journal for primary \& secondary cardiovascular prevention, rehabilitation and sports cardiology}, volume = {21}, journal = {European journal of preventive cardiology : the official ESC journal for primary \& secondary cardiovascular prevention, rehabilitation and sports cardiology}, number = {6}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {2047-4873}, doi = {10.1177/2047487312462147}, pages = {774 -- 781}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Background: Data on electrocardiographic and echocardiographic pre-participation screening findings in paediatric athletes are limited.}, language = {en} } @article{KoenigCasselIntziegiannietal.2014, author = {K{\"o}nig, Niklas and Cassel, Michael and Intziegianni, Konstantina and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Inter-rater reliability and measurement error of sonographic muscle architecture assessments}, series = {Journal of ultrasound in medicine}, volume = {33}, journal = {Journal of ultrasound in medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine}, address = {Laurel}, issn = {0278-4297}, doi = {10.7863/ultra.33.5.769}, pages = {769 -- 777}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Objectives-Sonography of muscle architecture provides physicians and researchers with information about muscle function and muscle-related disorders. Inter-rater reliability is a crucial parameter in daily clinical routines. The aim of this study was to assess the inter-rater reliability of sonographic muscle architecture assessments and quantification of errors that arise from inconsistent probe positioning and image interpretation. Results-Inter-rater reliability was good overall (ICC, 0.77-0.90; IRV, 9.0\%-13.4\%; bias LoA, 0.2 +/- 0.2-1.7 +/- 3.0). Superior and inferior pennation angles showed high systematic bias and LoA in all setups, ranging from 2.0 degrees +/- 2.2 degrees to 3.4 degrees +/- 4.1 degrees. The highest IRV was found for muscle thickness (13.4\%). "When the probe position was standardized, the SEM for muscle thickness decreased from 0.1 to 0.05 cm. Conclusions-Sonographic examination of muscle architecture of the medial gastrocnemius has good to high reliability. In contrast to pennation angle measurements, length measurements can be improved by standardization of the probe position.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ReschkeCasselIntziegiannietal.2014, author = {Reschke, Antje and Cassel, Michael and Intziegianni, Konstantina and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Intra- and inter-rater reliability of sonographic cross-sectional area measurements in asymptomatic patella tendons}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {927 -- 928}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{IntziegianniCasselHainetal.2014, author = {Intziegianni, Konstantina and Cassel, Michael and Hain, Gerrit and Fr{\"o}hlic, Katja and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Reliability of sonographic assessment of Achilles tendon cross-sectional area at rest and maximal voluntary contraction}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {47 -- 47}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KopinskiEngelCasseletal.2014, author = {Kopinski, Stephan and Engel, Tilman and Cassel, Michael and Carlsohn, Anja and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Reliability of ultrasound measurements for subcutaneous adipose tissue in elite canoe athletes}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {539 -- 539}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MuellerCasselMuelleretal.2014, author = {M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Cassel, Michael and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Stoll, Josefine and Baur, Heiner and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Trunk strength in adolescent athletes with Spondylolisthesis with/without back pain during training: Pilot study}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {46}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {642 -- 642}, year = {2014}, language = {en} }
