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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The potential benefits of red beetroot supplementation in health and disease
(MDPI, 2015)
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the biological activity of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris rubra) and its potential utility as a health promoting and disease preventing functional food. As a source of ...
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 ...
Cycling-specific isometric resistance training improves peak power output in elite sprint cyclists
(Wiley, 2020)
Introduction
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a 6‐week cycling‐specific, isometric resistance training program on peak power output (PPO) in elite cyclists.
Methods
Twenty‐four elite track sprint cyclists ...
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, ...
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 ...
