A comparison of the neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary and muscle oxygenation responses to single‐ and double‐leg cycling in older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work in younger adults has shown that during small muscle mass exercise, the tolerable degree of neuromuscular impairment at task failure is greater than during large muscle mass exercise. However, no study has compared the neuromuscular responses to small and large muscle mass exercise whilst matching exercise modality in older ...

Atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, mapping techniques and clinical applications

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Summary of key aspects of atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation, highlighting atrial fibrosis as a hallmark of atrial fibrillation (AF). (1) Different types of fibrosis (blue), illustrating reparative and reactive fibrosis; (2) fibrosis detection techniques (green), illustrating late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

The role of group III/IV afferent feedback in the ventilatory, pressor and metabolic responses to exercise in normoxia and hypoxia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Participants completed cycling exercise with (placebo) and without (25 µg intrathecal fentanyl) intact group III/IV muscle afferent feedback in three settings: normoxia, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia after 7–9 days of acclimatisation (∼3800 m). Blocking afferent feedback suppressed exercise hyperpnoea across all environments,
