Energy cost and lower leg muscle activities during erect bipedal locomotion under hyperoxia

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2018
Background Energy cost of transport per unit distance (CoT) against speed shows U-shaped fashion in walking and linear fashion in running, indicating that there exists a specific walking speed minimizing the CoT, being defined as economical speed (ES ...

Diurnal variation in the core interthreshold zone and its relation to cutaneous sensation threshold zone

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2017
Background The core interthreshold zone (CIZ) is defined as the range between temperatures at the onset of shivering and sweating. Its circadian or diurnal variation has not been extensively studied.

Association of taller stature with lower cardiovascular disease mortality in Asian people: a systematic review

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2019
Background Adult height can serve as a disease marker. While taller stature has been reported to be linked to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), an influence of the height on CVD is not fully understood in specific populations of Asia ...

Vigorous physical activity predicts higher heart rate variability among younger adults

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2017
Background Baseline heart rate variability (HRV) is linked to prospective cardiovascular health. We tested intensity and duration of weekly physical activity as predictors of heart rate variability in young adults.

Telomere elongation protects heart and lung tissue cells from fatal damage in rats exposed to severe hypoxia

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2018
Background The effects of acute hypoxia at high altitude on the telomere length of the cells in the heart and lung tissues remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the change in telomere length of rat heart and lung tissue cells in response to ...

Comparisons between wrinkles and photo-ageing detected and self-reported by the participant or identified by trained assessors reveal insights from Chinese individuals in the Singapore/Malaysia Cross-sectional Genetics Epidemiology Study (SMCGES) cohort

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Changes develop on the facial skin as a person ages. Other than chronological time, it has been discovered that gender, ethnicity, air pollution, smoking, nutrition, and sun exposure are notable risk factors that influence the development of ...

Prediction of success in sports based on assumed individual genetic predisposition: lack of association with the C > T variant in the ACTN3 gene

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Prediction of sports success (sports talent) based on individual genetic characteristics is the main goal of sports genetics/genomics. Most often, markers of predisposition to speed-strength sports, or endurance, are single-nucleotide variants

Association between underweight, serum albumin levels, and height loss in the Japanese male population: a retrospective study

Journal of Physiological Anthropology
Background Previous study has shown that height loss (defined as the highest quartile of height loss per year) was inversely associated with serum albumin levels. Furthermore, comparatively healthy hyponutrition has been linked with being underweight; as
