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.

Somatosensory processing in long COVID fatigue and its relations with physiological and psychological factors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed to quantify somatosensory processing in long COVID and interactions between somatosensory processing, fatigability, fatigue, autonomic function, mood and illness beliefs. Eighty‐eight participants (44 long COVID and 44 controls) were invited to complete two testing sessions, where fatigue was induced by either a cognitive or a ...

Thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) versus healthy controls, and to explore their lived experiences of heat stress.

Effects of cold water immersion versus active recovery on oxidative stress, redox gene expression and mitochondrial adaptations after strength training

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We compared the acute and chronic effects of postexercise cold water immersion (CWI) and active recovery (ACT) on oxidative stress, redox‐related gene expression, mitochondrial adaptations and muscle oxidative capacity. In a crossover study, nine males completed strength sessions, followed by either 10 min CWI or ACT.

Effects of acetaminophen ingestion on the torque–duration relationship and fatigability during intermittent exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to determine the effects of acute ingestion of acetaminophen (ACT) on the magnitude of exercise‐induced peripheral fatigue (ΔPtw) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind design, 22 males (11 T1D and 11 control (CTR) completed 60 maximum voluntary contractions 60 min after ...

Quantitative MRI changes in neck muscle size and composition following long‐duration spaceflight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight poses several challenges to human health, including muscle loss and fat deposition. To mitigate these effects, exercise countermeasures are prescribed. This study aimed to measure neck muscle size and composition changes with long‐duration spaceflight using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examine ...

Measuring muscle strength

, 1984
A dynamometer that can be held in the hand and that was designed to measure muscle strength in a simple way in the range 2–5 of the MRC scale, was tested in order to establish to what extent differences in results can be attributed to the observer, the ...
