 | The experiment evaluated the physiological, biomechanical, and maximal performance responses of 12 female soldiers carrying loads with prototype Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment with Interceptor body armor (MOLLE/I), and All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment with PASGT body armor (ALICE/P). MOLLE/I and ALICE/P did not differ on several tests including: energy cost of load carriage, 2 mile load carriage speed, sprint speed with load, knee range of motion, and heel-strike braking force ... |

| Tests on eleven male soldiers carrying "fighting", "approach", and "sustainment" loads showed that prototype U.S. Marine Corps Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment (MOLLE), and prototype U.S. Army Modular Load System (MLS) did not differ as to: energy cost or maximal speed of load-carriage; the speed at which a walking soldier could get prone and return to a standing position; the speed at which a walking soldier ... |

| Energy cost is an essential input to heat strain prediction models. Deficiencies exist, however, in the energy cost of performing physically demanding tasks while operating in MOPP 4 conditions. To evaluate the energy cost of soldiers wearing MOPP 4, approximately 10 men and 10 women performed 42 physical tasks (e.g. load carriage, litter carriage, lift and carry, lift only, etc.) ranging in intensity from 10% to 80% of maximal oxygen ... |

|
| To examine endogenous anabolic hormone and growth factor responses to various heavy resistance exercise protocols (HREPs), nine male subjects performed each of six randomly assigned HREPs which consisted of identically ordered exercises carefully designed to control for load (5RM vs 10RM), rest period length (1 min vs 3 min) and total work (J) effects. Serum human growth hormone (hGH), tesosterone (T), somatomedin-C (SM-C), serum glucose and whole blood lactate (HLa) ... |

|
| Serum metabolites, cardiorespiratory parameters and creatine kinase were examined during running on 3 consecutive days. Thirteen trained marathon runners exercised to exhaustion on a treadmill at 85 plus or minus 3% VO2 max on each day. Expired gases and blood samples were obtained at rest, after 10 and 30 min of exercise and at exhaustion. There were no significant differences over days for glucose, insulin, lactate, free fatty acids, creatine ... |
