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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Task-specific strength increases after lower-limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis
(Wiley, 2020)
Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task-specific, but
responses and adaptation to lower-limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly
assessed in a single-limb isometric task. ...
Evaluation of relationships between results of electrocardiography and echocardiography in 341 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
(AVMA, 2020)
OBJECTIVE
To examine potential relationships between ECG characteristics and echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).
ANIMALS
341 chimpanzees (175 males and 166 females) from 5 ...
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 ...
