What are Biogeochemical Cycles?00:54

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

39.8K
The most common elements in organic molecules, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, are only available in the ecosystem in limited amounts. Therefore, these nutrients must be recycled through both biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem, in processes generally called biogeochemical cycles.

The Water Cycle01:00

The Water Cycle

28.9K
The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.
28.9K
The Phosphorus Cycle01:21

The Phosphorus Cycle

44.2K
Unlike carbon, water, and nitrogen, phosphorus is not present in the atmosphere as a gas. Instead, most phosphorus in the ecosystem exists as compounds, such as phosphate ions (PO43-), found in soil, water, sediment and rocks. Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient (i.e., in short supply). Consequently, phosphorus is added to most agricultural fertilizers, which can cause environmental problems related to runoff in aquatic ecosystems.

The Nitrogen Cycle01:49

The Nitrogen Cycle

60.6K
Nitrogen atoms, present in all proteins and DNA, are recycled between abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. However, the primary form of nitrogen on Earth is nitrogen gas, which cannot be used by most animals and plants. Thus, nitrogen gas must first be converted into a usable form by nitrogen-fixing bacteria before it can be cycled through other living organisms. The use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and animal waste products in human agriculture has greatly influenced the...

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

44.1K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.
44.1K
The Sulfur Cycle01:22

The Sulfur Cycle

52.1K
Sulfur, an important element in the chemical makeup of proteins, is recycled through the atmosphere and aquatic and terrestrial environments. Found in the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide (SO2), sulfur is released by decaying organisms, weathered rocks, geothermal vents, volcanos, and burning fossil fuels. It is deposited into the ecosystem, cycled through the biotic community, and either released back into the atmosphere as gas or deposited in marine sediment for long-term storage and eventual...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Training Adaptations

Background:

  • Recreational athletes in intermittent sports require training that improves both endurance and speed.
  • Sprint cycling is a high-intensity training modality with potential benefits for athletic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of sprint cycling training on intermittent running capacity, sprint speed, and change of direction (COD) ability.
  • To determine the efficacy of sprint cycling as a training method for recreational intermittent sports athletes.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-week training intervention involving 12 sessions of high-intensity sprint cycling.
  • An experimental group (n=8) underwent sprint cycling, while a control group (n=8) maintained normal activity.
  • Performance metrics assessed included the Yo Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, 30m sprint time, pro-agility test, VO2max, and power output at VO2max.

Main Results:

  • The sprint cycling group showed significant improvements in intermittent running performance (Yo Yo test), VO2max, and power output at VO2max compared to the control group.
  • No significant differences were observed in 30m sprint times or pro-agility test performance between the groups.
  • Effect sizes indicated moderate to large improvements in key physiological and performance markers for the experimental group.

Conclusions:

  • Sprint cycling training effectively enhances intermittent running performance, VO2max, and peak power output.
  • While beneficial for intermittent sports athletes, sprint cycling alone does not improve linear speed or COD ability.
  • A combined training approach incorporating sprint cycling with specific speed and COD drills is recommended for optimal results.
