50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Lipid profiles and nutritional dynamics of long‐distance hiking: A longitudinal study on the Colorado Trail

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current literature on the metabolic effects of long‐distance hiking is limited to case studies with discrepant findings, and no prior studies have examined the role of diet in shaping these outcomes. In this study, we investigated changes in lipid profiles and dietary factors among 12 participants who completed the Colorado Trail.
