Corticospinal responses of resistance-trained and un-trained males during dynamic muscle contractions
(ELSEVIER, 2013)Little is known regarding the modulation and the plasticity of the neural pathway interconnecting elements of the central nervous system and skeletal muscle in resistant-trained individuals. The aim of the study was to ... -
Increased cross-education of muscle strength and reduced corticospinal inhibition following eccentric strength training
(Elsevier, 2015)Aim: Strength training of one limb results in a substantial increase in the strength of the untrained limb, however, it remains unknown what the corticospinal responses are following either eccentric or concentric strength ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Neuromuscular response differences to power vs strength back squat exercise in elite athletes
(Wiley, 2015)The study’s aim was to establish the neuromuscular responses in elite athletes during and following maximal ‘explosive’ regular back squat exercise at heavy, moder- ate, and light loads. Ten elite track and field ... -
A techno-economic study of a pump storage hydropower system for ultra-deep level mines applied to Driefontein No. 9 Shaft
(North-West University, 2018)The energy required for mineral recovery is a major operational cost and strategic focus for the global mining sector. Power disruptions result in loss of production throughput and deceased profitability. Therefore, mines ... -
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 ...
