A pilot study investigating reactive oxygen species production in capillary blood after a marathon and the influence of an antioxidant-rich beetroot juice
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2018)
We report that reactive oxygen species (ROS), as measured in capillary blood taken from the finger-tip, increased after a marathon (+128% P < 0.01; effect size = 1.17), indicating that this collection method might be useful ...
Whey protein hydrolysate supplementation accelerates recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in females
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2018)
A number of different forms of protein and their analogues have been investigated for their efficacy in ameliorating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and recovery. Preliminary data regarding whey protein hydrolysate ...
An evaluation of supramaximally loaded eccentric leg press exercise
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
High-intensity eccentric exercise is a potent stimulus for neuromuscular adaptation. A greater understanding of the mechanical stimuli afforded by this exercise will aid the prescription of future eccentric training regimens. ...
Familiarisation, reproducibility, sensitivity and joint angle specificity of bilateral isometric force exertions during leg press
(ISO Press, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Strength assessments are used to monitor physical progression and evaluate the impact of training interventions, which is extremely valuable for both athletic performance and clinical populations. For results ...
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, ...
Prolonged cooling with phase change material enhances recovery and does not affect the subsequent repeated bout effect following exercise
(Springer, 2020)
Purpose
The aim of this investigation was twofold: (1) to examine the effect of prolonged phase change material (PCM) cooling following eccentric exercise of the quadriceps on indices of muscle damage, and (2) to elucidate ...
Sex differences in fatigability following exercise normalised to the power-duration relationship
(Wiley, 2020)
Due to morphological differences, females demonstrate greater fatigue resistance of locomotor muscle during single‐limb and whole‐body exercise modalities. Whilst females sustain a greater relative intensity of single‐limb, ...
Prolonging the duration of cooling does not enhance recovery following a marathon
(Wiley, 2020)
Runners commonly utilize cryotherapy as part of their recovery strategy. Cryotherapy has been ineffective in mitigating signs and symptoms of muscle damage following marathon running and is limited by its duration of ...
Four weeks of augmented eccentric loading using a novel leg press device improved leg strength in well-trained athletes and professional sprint track cyclists
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
This study assessed the efficacy of strength training using augmented eccentric loading to provoke increases in leg strength in well-trained athletes, and sprint track cyclists, using a novel leg press device. Twelve ...
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 ...
