Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Impact of 14 days of head‐down bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on skeletal muscle atrophy, proteome and circulatory cytokines in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Stroke neurovascular responses to exercise: A novel rehabilitation paradigm

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability, impacting the cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and neuromotor systems. Characterising vascular responses to exercise post‐stroke offers valuable insights into the impairments that might influence outcomes during neurorehabilitation.

Jumping in simulated lunar gravity with blood flow restriction as a potential exercise countermeasure: The acute physiological effects

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study examined the cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and perceptual effects of low‐intensity jumping in simulated lunar gravity (∼20% bodyweight) with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen healthy adults (24 ± 4 years; 1.81 ± 0.06 m; 75 ± 12 kg) completed an incremental jumping test in simulated lunar gravity (9.5° head‐up ...

A comparison of the neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary and muscle oxygenation responses to single‐ and double‐leg cycling in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work in younger adults has shown that during small muscle mass exercise, the tolerable degree of neuromuscular impairment at task failure is greater than during large muscle mass exercise. However, no study has compared the neuromuscular responses to small and large muscle mass exercise whilst matching exercise modality in older ...

(Poly)phenols: Mechanisms of action and efficacy of contemporary supplements for exercise recovery and performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract (Poly)phenols are a diverse group of bioactive chemical compounds present in a wide range of plant‐ and animal‐based foods. Several thousands of (poly)phenols exist; many have potent biological effects, most notably antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and vasodilatory.

Phosphate and acidosis cause fibre type‐specific changes to cellular and molecular contractile mechanics at 37°C in skeletal muscle from older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intracellular accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) has temperature‐dependent effects on single‐fibre contractile function between 10°C and 30°C. In vivo, human skeletal muscle temperatures range between 35‐39°C, and although contractile function is highly dependent on temperature, the effects of fatigue‐inducing [H+]
