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 ...
Physiological response to angling of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Angling fraternities widely promote catch-and-release (C&R) as a fisheries management tool. This study aimed
to determine the physiological response of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish
Hydrocynus ...
The efficacy of protein supplementation during recovery from muscle-damaging concurrent exercise
(NRC Research Press, 2017)
This study investigated the effect of protein supplementation on recovery following muscle-damaging exercise, which was induced with a concurrent exercise design. Twenty-four well-trained male cyclists were randomised to ...
Heart rate and indirect blood pressure responses to four different field anesthetic protocols in wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2017)
Limited data are available on hemodynamic responses to anesthetic protocols in wild-born chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Accordingly, this study characterized the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure responses to four anesthetic ...
The plasma bioavailability of nitrate and betanin from Beta vulgaris rubra in humans
(Springer, 2017)
Purpose
To evaluate the plasma bioavailability of betanin and nitric oxide (NOx) after consuming beetroot juice (BTJ) and whole beetroot (BF). BTJ and BF were also analysed for antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content ...
Test-retest reliability of physiological parameters in elite junior distance runners following allometric scaling
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
This study aimed to quantify the intra-individual reliability of a number of physiological variables in a group of national and international young distance runners. Sixteen (8 male, 8 female) participants (16.7 ± 1.4 ...
The assessment of neuromuscular fatigue during 120 min of simulated soccer exercise
(Springer, 2017)
Purpose
This investigation examined the development of neuromuscular fatigue during a simulated soccer match incorporating a period of extra time (ET) and the reliability of these responses on repeated test occasions.

Enhanced corticospinal excitability and volitional drive in response to shortening and lengthening strength training and changes following detraining
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
There is a limited understanding of the neurological adaptations responsible for changes in strength following shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining. The aim of the study was to investigate ...
Energy intake and energy expenditure of preprofessional female contemporary dancers
(PLoS, 2017)
Many athletes in aesthetic and weight dependent sports are at risk of energy imbalance. However little is known about the exercise and eating behaviours of highly trained dance populations. This investigation sought to ...
