Milheiro, J; Carvalho, DD; Pires, P; Sousa, A; Goethel, MF; Moreira, A; Soares, J"BACKGROUND: The current work aimed to describe and compare the cortisol and insulin concentrations behavior and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during a 115 km ultramarathon race. METHODS: Nine ultrarunners (eight males) were evaluated six times (0, 37, 60, 76, 89 and 115 km). At each moment, saliva samples (for cortisol and insulin assessment) and RPE (CR10 scale) were collected. Statistical analysis include...
Combined low-carbohydrate diet and long-term exercise in hypoxia in type 2 diab...
Kindlovits, R; Sousa, AC; Viana, JL; Milheiro, J; Marques, F; Teixeira, Vitor Hugo<jats:p> Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality associated with diabetes, which is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia.
