Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

The isokinetic strength profile of elite soccer players according to playing position
PLoS ONE, 2017 The aim of this study was to compare isokinetic strength performance profiles in elite soccer players across different field positions. A total of 111 elite international players of Polish Ekstraklasa (the top division in Poland) were examined during the

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a sarcopenia component, this article summarizes emerging ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...
