The effects of pre-exhaustion, exercise order, and rest intervals in a full-body resistance training intervention [PDF]

, 2014
Pre-exhaustion (PreEx) training is advocated on the principle that immediately preceding a compound exercise with an isolation exercise can target stronger muscles to pre-exhaust them to obtain greater adaptations in strength and size.

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Effectiveness of acupressure versus isometric exercise on pain, stiffness, and physical function in knee osteoarthritis female patients

Journal of Advanced Research, 2014
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability in older adults. Conservative non-pharmacological strategies, particularly exercise, are recommended by clinical guidelines for its management.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Much more than their fangs: Macroscopic anatomy of the brain of Bothrops moojeni Hoge 1966 (Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

Reductions in resting blood pressure after isometric exercise training are not related to shear stress

, 2013
Introduction: The training stimulus responsible for blood pressure reductions after isometric training remains equivocal. It has previously been suggested that increased exposure to shear stress during isometric exercise may mediate endothelial ...

Comparison of the effectiveness of isokinetic exercise vs isometric exercise performed at different angles in patients with knee osteoarthritis

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Strengthening exercises help improve physical function and muscle strength in knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, optimal exercise programmes for treating knee OA remain unclear.

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.
