Effects of strength training on the physiological determinants of middle- and long-distance running performance: a systematic review
(Springer, 2018)
Background Middle- and long-distance running performance is constrained by several important aerobic and
anaerobic parameters. The efficacy of strength training
(ST) for distance runners has received considerable attention ...
Modulation of specific inhibitory networks in fatigued locomotor muscles of healthy males
(Springer, 2018)
Reduced maximal force capability of skeletal muscle, as a consequence of exercise, can be due to peripheral or central
fatigue mechanisms. In upper-limb muscles, neuromuscular fatigue is concurrent with reduced corticospinal ...
The assessment of neuromuscular fatigue during 120 min of simulated soccer exercise
(Springer, 2017)
Purpose
This investigation examined the development of neuromuscular fatigue during a simulated soccer match incorporating a period of extra time (ET) and the reliability of these responses on repeated test occasions.

Enhanced corticospinal excitability and volitional drive in response to shortening and lengthening strength training and changes following detraining
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
There is a limited understanding of the neurological adaptations responsible for changes in strength following shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining. The aim of the study was to investigate ...
Energy intake and energy expenditure of preprofessional female contemporary dancers
(PLoS, 2017)
Many athletes in aesthetic and weight dependent sports are at risk of energy imbalance. However little is known about the exercise and eating behaviours of highly trained dance populations. This investigation sought to ...
Critical difference and biological variation in biomarkers of oxidative stress and nutritional status in athletes
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
The longitudinal monitoring of oxidative stress (OS) in athletes may enable the identification
of fatigued states and underperformance. The application of OS biomarker monitoring programs
in sport are hindered by reliability ...
The role of intra-session exercise sequence in the interference effect: a systematic review with meta-analysis
(Springer, 2018)
Background
There is a necessity for numerous sports to develop strength and aerobic capacity simultaneously, placing a significant demand upon the practice of effective concurrent training methods. Concurrent training ...
The effects of Montmorency tart cherry concentrate supplementation on recovery following prolonged, intermittent exercise
(MDPI, 2016)
This study investigated Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (MC) supplementation on
markers of recovery following prolonged, intermittent sprint activity. Sixteen semi-professional,
male soccer players, who had dietary ...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation attenuates the perception of force output production in non-exercised hand muscles after unilateral exercise
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
We examined whether unilateral exercise creates perception bias in the non-exercised limb and ascertained whether rTMS applied to the primary motor cortex (M1) interferes with this perception. All participants completed 4 ...
Effects of beetroot juice on recovery of muscle function and performance between bouts of repeated sprint exercise
(MDPI, 2016)
This study examined the effects of beetroot juice (BTJ) on recovery between two
repeated-sprint tests. In an independent groups design, 20 male, team-sports players were
randomized to receive either BTJ or a placebo (PLA) ...
