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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Intensity-dependent contribution of neuromuscular fatigue after constant-load cycling
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
Purpose: We tested the hypothesis that central and peripheral fatigue after constant-load cycling exercise would vary with exercise intensity and duration.
Methods: Twelve well-trained male cyclists (V˙O2max, 4.49 ± 0.35 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Performance and endocrine responses to differing ratios of concurrent strength and endurance training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
The present study examined functional strength and endocrine responses to varying ratios of strength and endurance training in a concurrent training regimen. Thirty resistance trained men completed 6 weeks of 3 d·wk−1 of ...
Physiological response of one of South Africa’s premier freshwater sport angling species, the Orange-Vaal smallmouth yellowfish Labeobarbus aeneus, to catch-and-release angling
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The practice of catch-and-release fishing has been widely promoted by angling fraternities as a fisheries manage- ment tool. The aim of this investigation was to determine the physiological response of Orange-Vaal smallmouth ...
Effects of seated and standing cold water immersion on recovery from repeated sprinting
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
This study investigated the effects of two different hydrostatic pressures (seated or standing) during cold water immersion at attenuating the deleterious effects of strenuous exercise on indices of damage and recovery. ...
Phytochemical uptake following human consumption of Montmorency tart cherry (L. Prunus cerasus) and influence of phenolic acids on vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro
(Springer, 2016)
Purpose
To investigate the phytochemical uptake following human consumption of Montmorency tart cherry (L. Prunus cerasus) and influence of selected phenolic acids on vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro.
Methods
In a ...
