Does mental exertion alter maximal muscle activation?

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Mental exertion is known to impair endurance performance, but its effects on neuromuscular function remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental exertion reduces torque and muscle activation during intermittent maximal

Strength Training Prior to Endurance Exercise: Impact on the Neuromuscular System, Endurance Performance and Cardiorespiratory Responses [PDF]

, 2014
This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of two strength-training protocols on the neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory responses during endurance exercise. Thirteen young males (23.2 ± 1.6 years old) participated in this study.

Treadmill exercise within lower body negative pressure protects leg lean tissue mass and extensor strength and endurance during bed rest. [PDF]

, 2016
Leg muscle mass and strength are decreased during reduced activity and non-weight-bearing conditions such as bed rest (BR) and spaceflight. Supine treadmill exercise within lower body negative pressure (LBNPEX) provides full-body weight loading during BR

Exercise for endurance and strength:Always separate? [PDF]

, 2019
Physical training can be classified into three main types: endurance, resistance, and patterned movements. The first two of them have a significant impact on muscle phenotype and metabolism while patterned movement exercises concern changes in a motor ...

The sit up test to exhaustion as a test for muscular endurance evaluation [PDF]

, 2015
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to examine the sit up test to exhaustion as a field test for muscular endurance evaluation in a sample of sedentary people of both sexes. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed.

Relationship between muscle metabolic rate and muscle torque complexity during fatiguing intermittent isometric contractions in humans

Physiological Reports, 2019
To test the hypothesis that a system’s metabolic rate and the complexity of fluctuations in the output of that system are related, thirteen healthy participants performed intermittent isometric knee extensor contractions at intensities where a rise in ...

Endurance training slows breast tumor growth in mice by suppressing Treg cells recruitment to tumors [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Aerobic exercise has been shown to slow tumor progression in rodents and humans, but the mechanisms behind this effect are still unclear.

A Bayesian Approach for the Use of Athlete Performance Data Within Anti-doping

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The World Anti-doping Agency currently collates the results of all doping tests for athletes involved in elite sporting competition with the aim of improving the fight against doping. Existing anti-doping strategies involve either the direct detection of

A pilot study comparing the metabolic profiles of elite-level athletes from different sporting disciplines [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The outstanding performance of an elite athlete might be associated with changes in their blood metabolic profile. The aims of this study were to compare the blood metabolic profiles between moderate- and high-power and endurance elite ...

Enduring Feedback [PDF]

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2017
The central question in the paper by Morecroft (2017) is whether ‘structure drives behaviour’ also holds over a long time period, or, in other words, whether feedback structures shaping trends endure over time. Morecroft revisits a model of the oil industry originally developed in the late 1980s and, changing only initial parameter settings, concludes ...
