Priming the motor cortex with anodal transcranial direct current stimulation affects the acute inhibitory corticospinal responses to strength training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)
Synaptic plasticity in the motor cortex (M1) is associated with strength training (ST) and can be modified by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The M1 responses to ST increase when anodal tDCS is applied ...
Reliability and validity of depth camera 3D scanning to determine thigh volume
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Gross thigh volume is a key anthropometric variable to predict sport performance and health. Currently, it is either estimated by using the frustum method, which is prone to high inter-and intra-observer error, or using ...
Mechanical and morphological determinants of peak power output in elite cyclists
(Wiley, 2019)
Mechanical peak power output (PPO) is a determinant of performance in sprint cycling. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between PPO and putative physiological determinants of PPO in elite cyclists, ...
Exploring the efficacy of a safe cryotherapy alternative: physiological temperature changes from cold-water immersion versus prolonged cooling of phase-change material
(Human Kinetics, 2019)
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness between cold-water immersion (CWI) and phase-change-material (PCM) cooling on intramuscular, core, and skin-temperature and cardiovascular responses. Methods: In a randomized, crossover ...
Optimization of exercise countermeasures for human space flight: operational considerations for concurrent strength and aerobic training
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
The physiological challenges presented by space flight and in microgravity (μG) environments are well documented. μG environments can result in declines muscle mass, contractile strength, and functional capabilities. ...
Cardiac structure and function characterized across age groups and between sexes in healthy wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in sanctuaries
(AVMA, 2019)
OBJECTIVE
To comprehensively characterize cardiac structure and function, from infancy to adulthood, in male and female wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in sanctuaries.
ANIMALS
290 wild-born ...
Compound maximal motor unit response is modulated by contraction intensity, but not contraction type in tibialis anterior
(Wiley, 2019)
Determining a single compound maximal motor response (MMAX) or an average superimposed MMAX response (MSUP) are commonly used reference values in experiments eliciting raw electromyographic, motor evoked potentials, ...
The effect of varying degrees of compression from elastic vs plastic wrap on quadriceps intramuscular temperature during wetted ice application
(Wiley, 2019)
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of wetted ice bag, applied with high compression elastic wrap or held in place with low compression plastic wrap, on reducing vastus lateralis intramuscular ...
Exercise-induced muscle damage: what is it, what causes it and what are the nutritional solutions?
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by symptoms that present both immediately and for up to 14 days after the initial exercise bout. The main consequence of EIMD for the athlete is the loss of skeletal ...
Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) supplementation accelerates recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in females
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Tart Montmorency cherry concentrate (MC) has been reported to attenuate the symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and to accelerate exercise recovery, which has been attributed to its high anti-inflammatory and ...
