We had declared from the start that this was at the same time a display of endurance, swimming for 48 hours, in honor of the endurance shown by the Sandy victims a year past the devastating wreckage of the storm -- but it was above all a fundraiser, a community gathering.
Subjects were divided into tertiles of endurance time (Group 1: n = 32, endurance time <4 min; Group 2: n = 31, endurance time from 4 to 6 min; Group 3: n = 29, endurance time >6 min).
Results are expressed as five time points: for each subject, data obtained at baseline, 25%, 50 %, 75 % and 100of endurance time were used in the analysis.
However, none of the parameters was independently associated with endurance time in the multiple regression analysis, suggesting that non-respiratory variables may be stronger determinants of endurance time variability than airflow limitation in COPD patients.
Yet, taken together, the variables assessed in the present investigation only accounted for 25% of endurance time variability during CET, suggesting that a large fraction in endurance time could not be explained by those physiological parameters.
Their sense of adventure grew as the game wore on and, ultimately, Éder's decisive goal in the second period of extra time won a test of endurance.
There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.
"There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over"... "Amen" from the crowd, "... and men are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustice where they experience the bleakness of corroding despair... " " Yes, Lord".
A strong correlation exists between the delta of SpO2 and the delta of endurance time to exhaustion in participants who exhibit exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia during the intermittent cycling exercise tests under normoxic conditions.
Correlations between the delta of SpO2 (the values between hyperoxia and normoxia at exhaustion) and the delta of endurance time to exhaustion (the values between hyperoxia and normoxia) were determined and tested for significance using Pearson's product-moment test.
Secondly, stepwise regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors of endurance time during CET.
