Differences in force normalising procedures during submaximal anisometric contractions
(Elsevier, 2018)
Eccentric contractions are thought to require a unique neural activation strategy. However, due to greater intrinsic force generating capacity of muscle fibres during eccentric contraction, the understanding of neural ...
Torque, power and muscle activation of eccentric and concentric isokinetic cycling
(Elsevier, 2018)
This study aimed to establish the effect of cycling mode and cadence on torque, external power output, and lower limb muscle activation during maximal, recumbent, isokinetic cycling. After familiarisation, twelve healthy ...
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 ...
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 ...
Neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after heavy resistance, jump, and sprint training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
Purpose
Training methods that require maximal intensity efforts against light and heavy resistance are commonly used for athletic development. Typically, these sessions are separated by at least 48 h recovery on the ...
Exercise-induced muscle damage: what is it, what causes it and what are the nutritional solutions?
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by symptoms that present both immediately and for up to 14 days after the initial exercise bout. The main consequence of EIMD for the athlete is the loss of skeletal ...
Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) supplementation accelerates recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in females
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Tart Montmorency cherry concentrate (MC) has been reported to attenuate the symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and to accelerate exercise recovery, which has been attributed to its high anti-inflammatory and ...
The altered human serum metabolome induced by a marathon
(Springer, 2018)
Introduction
Endurance races have been associated with a substantial amount of adverse effects which could lead to chronic disease and long-term performance impairment. However, little is known about the holistic metabolic ...
Analgesic and anti‐inflammatory drugs in sports: implications for exercise performance and training adaptations
(Wiley, 2018)
Over‐the‐counter analgesics, such as anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol, are widely consumed by athletes worldwide to increase pain tolerance, or dampen pain and reduce inflammation from injuries. Given that ...
