Relation between peak power output in sprint cycling and maximum voluntary isometric torque production
(Elsevier, 2017)
From a cycling paradigm, little has been done to understand the relationships between maximal isometric strength of different single joint lower body muscle groups and their relation with, and ability to predict PPO and ...
Test-retest reliability of physiological and performance responses to 120 minutes of simulated soccer match play
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
This study investigated the test-retest reliability of physiological and performance responses to 120 minutes (90 minutes plus 30 minutes extra-time [ET]) of the soccer match simulation (SMS). Ten university-standard soccer ...
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 ...
Contraction intensity and sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability
(Elsevier, 2017)
Females are less fatigable than males during isometric contractions across various muscles and intensities. However, sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability remain relatively unexplored. Purpose: To determine the sex ...
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 ...
Determining the potential sites of neural adaptation to cross-education: implications for the cross-education of muscle strength
(Springer, 2018)
Cross-education describes the strength gain in the opposite, untrained limb following a unilateral strength training program. Since its discovery in 1894, several studies now confirm the existence of cross-education in ...
Performance fatigability is not regulated to a peripheral critical threshold
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
The critical threshold hypothesis proposes that performance fatigability during high-intensity exercise is tightly regulated by negative-feedback signals from the active muscles. We propose that performance fatigability ...
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 ...
Deception improves time trial performance in well-trained cyclists without augmented fatigue
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
Purpose To investigate the effects of feedback, in the form of a virtual avatar paced at 100% and 102% of baseline performance, on neuromuscular fatigue after a 4-km cycling time trial (TT). We hypothesized that improved ...
An optimal protocol for measurement of corticospinal excitability, short intracortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation in the rectus femoris
(Elsevier, 2018)
The study aimed to determine the optimal application of single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the rectus femoris. Twenty-nine male adults participated in the study, which involved 5 separate ...
