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 ...

Musculoskeletal and physiological responses to vortex wave stimulation in older adults
Abstract figure legend We explored the acute physiological effects of a novel mechanical stimulus, vortex wave stimulation (VWS), in healthy older adults. Using deuterated water and serial skeletal muscle biopsies, we showed that VWS elevated integrated rates of myofibrillar, but not sarcoplasmic muscle protein synthesis, with no changes observed in ...

Eccentric torque-producing capacity is influenced by muscle length in older healthy adults
Considering the importance of muscle strength to functional capacity in the elderly, the study investigated the effects of age on isokinetic performance and torque production as a function of muscle length.

Abstract Aging is associated with declines in muscle function, leading to increased functional fatigability. Passive heating has demonstrated positive effects on muscle function during brief exercise in older adults, but the impact of heating on repeated contractions remains unknown.
