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 ...

Effects of aging on unloading-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and subsequent recovery in rats
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013 Aged individuals with physiological muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) are likely forced into an unloading condition of inactivity such as bed rest and limb-immobilization.

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.

Genes, physical fitness and ageing [PDF]
Ageing Research Reviews, 2013 Persons aged 80 years and older are the fastest growing segment of the population. As more individuals live longer, we should try to understand the mechanisms involved in healthy ageing and preserving functional independence in later life. In elderly people, functional independence is directly dependent on physical fitness, and ageing is inevitably ...
