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. ...
Cardiac structure and function characterized across age groups and between sexes in healthy wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in sanctuaries
(AVMA, 2019)
OBJECTIVE
To comprehensively characterize cardiac structure and function, from infancy to adulthood, in male and female wild-born captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in sanctuaries.
ANIMALS
290 wild-born ...
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, ...
The effect of varying degrees of compression from elastic vs plastic wrap on quadriceps intramuscular temperature during wetted ice application
(Wiley, 2019)
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of wetted ice bag, applied with high compression elastic wrap or held in place with low compression plastic wrap, on reducing vastus lateralis intramuscular ...
Cryotherapy reinvented: application of phase change material for recovery in elite soccer
(Human kinetics, 2018)
Purpose: To examine whether donning lower-body garments fitted with cooled phase change material (PCM) would enhance recovery after a soccer match. Methods: In a randomized, crossover design, 11 elite soccer players from ...
Effects of strength training on postpubertal adolescent distance runners
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
Purpose Strength training activities have consistently been shown to improve running economy (RE) and neuromuscular characteristics, such as force-producing ability and maximal speed, in adult distance runners. However, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Corticospinal excitability during shortening and lengthening actions with incremental torque output
(Wiley, 2018)
The modulation of motor evoked potentials (MEPs), an index of corticospinal excitability, has been shown to increase during isometric contractions with incremental torque output in accordance with the contribution between ...
