Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Training for muscular power adaptations : the role of contraction type and velocity [PDF]
, 2016 Muscular power, an integral component in most sport, is the product of force and velocity. Power is often viewed as synonymous, yet incorrectly, with strength. Where power has an inherent speed component, strength is independent of movement velocity, and

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Cross‐education describes the training of one limb that leads to performance enhancements in the contralateral untrained limb, driven by neural changes rather than muscle adaptation. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cross‐education (vs. a control group) via resistance exercise training (RET) for

Validation of ankle strength measurements by means of a hand-held dynamometer in adult healthy subjects [PDF]
, 2017 Uniaxial Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD) is a low-cost device widely adopted in clinical practice to measure muscle force. HHD measurements depend on operator’s ability and joint movements.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Isokinetic Strength Profile of the Wrist Muscles: A Study of Healthy Women and Men
Journal of Functional Morphology and KinesiologyObjective: In the isokinetic literature, relatively limited attention has been paid to muscles of the wrist. Therefore, the objective of this study was to present an isokinetic profile of these muscles comprising the flexors (F); extensors (E); and ulnar

Does Foam Rolling Really Work? [PDF]
, 2017 Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the sensation of pain and stiffness that is felt up to four days after an intense bout of exercise. You may have felt this sensation a few days after going on a long hike or back in high school during preseason for

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.
