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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Performance fatigability is not regulated to a peripheral critical threshold
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
The critical threshold hypothesis proposes that performance fatigability during high-intensity exercise is tightly regulated by negative-feedback signals from the active muscles. We propose that performance fatigability ...
