Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Abstract Skeletal muscle adaptation to contractile activity is modulated by redox signalling, primarily through reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Early research framed ROS as deleterious byproducts of exercise, but subsequent studies have established their roles as signalling molecules involved in mitochondrial biogenesis,

Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this

Abstract Physical inactivity impairs neuromuscular health, promoting skeletal muscle atrophy, mitochondrial changes, and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) instability. However, the interplay between mitochondria and NMJ alterations in the context of muscle disuse remains underexplored.

Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...

Abstract This study investigated cerebral and neuromuscular responses to three exercise models: time trial (TT), maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max${{\dot{V}}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}{\mathrm{max}}}}$) and time to exhaustion (TTE). Fourteen participants completed the tests in the following order: V̇O2max${{\dot{V}}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}{\mathrm{max}}}}$, TT and ...
