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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Montmorency cherries reduce the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to repeated days high-intensity stochastic cycling
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2014)
This investigation examined the impact of Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (MC) on physiological indices of oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage across 3 days simulated road cycle racing. Trained cyclists ...
Mirror training augments the cross-education of strength and affects inhibitory paths
(American College of Sports Medicine, 2016)
Purpose: Unilateral
strength training strengthens not only the muscles on the trained side but also the homologous muscles on the untrained side; however,
the magnitude of this interlimb cross-education is modest. We ...
Priming the motor cortex with anodal transcranial direct current stimulation affects the acute inhibitory corticospinal responses to strength training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)
Synaptic plasticity in the motor cortex (M1) is associated with strength training (ST) and can be modified by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The M1 responses to ST increase when anodal tDCS is applied ...
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 ...
Optimization of exercise countermeasures for human space flight: operational considerations for concurrent strength and aerobic training
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
The physiological challenges presented by space flight and in microgravity (μG) environments are well documented. μG environments can result in declines muscle mass, contractile strength, and functional capabilities. ...
Compound maximal motor unit response is modulated by contraction intensity, but not contraction type in tibialis anterior
(Wiley, 2019)
Determining a single compound maximal motor response (MMAX) or an average superimposed MMAX response (MSUP) are commonly used reference values in experiments eliciting raw electromyographic, motor evoked potentials, ...
