Effect of Wearing the Elevation Training Mask on Aerobic Capacity, Lung Function, and Hematological Variables
John P. Porcari,Lauren Probst,Karlei Forrester,Scott T. Doberstein,Carl Foster,Maria L. Cress,Katharina Schmidt +6 more
TL;DR: Wearing the ETM while participating in a 6-week high-intensity cycle ergometer training program does not appear to act as a simulator of altitude, but more like a respiratory muscle training device, and may improve specific markers of endurance performance beyond the improvements seen with interval training alone.

The physiological mechanism behind the talk test
TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that talking causes CO2 retention, which may cause ventilatory drive to increase, and evaluates a potential mechanism behind the TT.
Comparison of the talk test and percent heart rate reserve for exercise prescription
John P. Porcari,Katelyn Falck-Wiese,Samantha Suckow-Stenger,Jillian Turek,Anna Wargowsky,Maria L. Cress,Scott T. Doberstein,Chelsea J. Hahn,Abigail Ryskey,Carl Foster +9 more
TL;DR: Guiding exercise prescription using the Talk Test is a simple and effective method for prescribing exercise intensity and elicits improvements in exercise performance that are comparable to the traditional %HRR guidelines.
No immediate effects of highly cushioned shoes on basic running biomechanics
TL;DR: Overall, there was no effect of footwear on IP, LR, AP, CT and velocity and the results indicate that the highly cushioned shoes did not show immediate changes in running biomechanics.
The Physiological Mechanism Behind the Talk Test: 352 Board #189 June 1, 11: 00 AM - 12: 30 PM.
TL;DR: While maximal HG force or RFD does not appear to be affected by foot stance, the time needed and ability to generate HG force may be influenced by the ipsilateral/contralateral configuration of the dominant and non-dominant limbs.
