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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Compression garments and recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage: a meta-analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of compression garments on recovery following damaging exercise. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using studies that evaluated the efficacy 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 ...
The efficacy of protein supplementation during recovery from muscle-damaging concurrent exercise
(NRC Research Press, 2017)
This study investigated the effect of protein supplementation on recovery following muscle-damaging exercise, which was induced with a concurrent exercise design. Twenty-four well-trained male cyclists were randomised to ...
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 ...
Ipsilateral corticomotor responses are confined to the homologous muscle following cross-education of muscular strength
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2018)
Cross-education of strength occurs when strength-training 1 limb increases the strength of the untrained limb and is restricted to the untrained homologous muscle. Cortical circuits located ipsilateral to the trained limb ...
Reliability and validity of depth camera 3D scanning to determine thigh volume
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Gross thigh volume is a key anthropometric variable to predict sport performance and health. Currently, it is either estimated by using the frustum method, which is prone to high inter-and intra-observer error, or using ...
