IntroductionWide use of facemasks is one of the many consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsWe used an established working memory n-back task in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore whether wearing a KN95/FFP2 facemask affects ...

Dentoalveolar Changes in the Premolar Region After Two Maxillary Expansion Protocols
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the dentoalveolar effects on the upper first premolars after two maxillary expansion protocols—rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt‐RAMEC)—before and 6 months after treatment.

ABSTRACT To determine the effects of muscle length on exercise capacity, critical torque/W′ and neuromuscular fatigue. Thirteen subjects performed 60 isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) over a period of 5 min, at five knee angles to manipulate maximal torque (i.e., optimal, −15°, −30°, +15° and +30°).

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Abstract We evaluated acute (Study A) and chronic (Study B) effects of a novel breath‐hold technique (BHT) protocol on performance in military personnel. In Study A, 11 healthy male participants completed either rest or a 40‐min BHT before 15 min steady‐state (SS) cycling at 80% V̇O2max and a 5‐min time trial (TT). BHT acutely increased V̇O2 (200.3%, p
