[Myocardial performance index].

Anadolu kardiyoloji dergisi : AKD = the Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2008
Myocardial performance index (MPI) is a numeric value, which could be obtained by using cardiac time intervals. This numeric value is defined as the sum of isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) divided by ejection time (ET) and could be calculated for each ventricle individually.

Glycemic Index and Endurance Performance

International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2010
The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of the evidence surrounding glycemic index (GI) and endurance performance. Athletes are commonly instructed to consume low-GI (LGI) carbohydrate (CHO) before exercise, but this recommendation appears to be based on the results of only a few studies, whereas others have found that the GI of CHO ...
