Central command and muscle metaboreflex effect on superficial venoconstriction in the resting limb
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013 Exercise significantly activates the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic activation during exercise is governed by both central command and muscle reflex mechanisms (i.e., muscle metabo- and mechano-reflexes), which modulate arterial vascular ...

Causation, physics, and fit [PDF]
Synthese, 2016 Our ordinary causal concept seems to fit poorly with how our best physics describes the world. We think of causation as a time-asymmetric dependence relation between relatively local events. Yet fundamental physics describes the world in terms of dynamical laws that are, possible small exceptions aside, time symmetric and that relate global time slices.
