Motor cortical and corticospinal function differ during an isometric squat compared with isometric knee extension
(Wiley, 2018)
It has been suggested that task‐specific changes in neurophysiological function (neuroplasticity) should be assessed using testing modalities that replicate the characteristics of the intervention. The squat is a commonly ...
Influence of a montmorency cherry juice blend on indices of exercise-induced stress and upper respiratory tract symptoms following marathon running: a pilot investigation
(Biomed Central, 2015)
Background: Prolonged exercise, such as marathon running, has been associated with an increase in respiratory
mucosal inflammation. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effects of Montmorency cherry juice ...
The potential benefits of red beetroot supplementation in health and disease
(MDPI, 2015)
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the biological activity of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris rubra) and its potential utility as a health promoting and disease preventing functional food. As a source of ...
Etiology and recovery of neuromuscular fatigue following competitive soccer match-play
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Aim: Previous research into the etiology of neuromuscular fatigue following competitive soccer match-play has primarily focused on peripheral perturbations, with limited research assessing central nervous system function ...
Beetroot juice is more beneficial than sodium nitrate for attenuating muscle pain after strenuous eccentric-bias exercise
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of beetroot juice (BTJ) and a nitrate only drink (sodium nitrate; SN) on indices of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty recreationally active males consumed either ...
Mirror training to augment cross–education during resistance training: a hypothesis
(Frontiers, 2013)
Resistance exercise has been shown to be a potent stimulus for neuromuscular adaptations. These adaptations are not confined to the exercising muscle and have been consistently shown to produce increases in strength and ...
Performance and neuromuscular adaptations following differing ratios of concurrent strength and endurance training
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013)
The
interference effect attenuates strength and hypertrophic
responses when strength and endurance training are conducted
concurrently; however, the influence of training frequency
on these responses remain unclear ...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation in sport science: A commentary
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The aim of this commentary is to provide a brief overview of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and highlight how this technique can be used to investigate the acute and chronic responses of the central nervous system ...
Compression garments and recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage: a meta-analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of compression garments on recovery following damaging exercise. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using studies that evaluated the efficacy of ...
Physiological response of one of South Africa’s premier freshwater sport angling species, the Orange-Vaal smallmouth yellowfish Labeobarbus aeneus, to catch-and-release angling
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The practice of catch-and-release fishing has been widely promoted by angling fraternities as a fisheries manage- ment tool. The aim of this investigation was to determine the physiological response of Orange-Vaal smallmouth ...
