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 ...

NSAID ingestion augments training‐induced muscle hypertrophy and differentially affects muscle mRNA expression, but not strength gains, in trained men

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the impact of NSAID ingestion on resistance exercise training‐induced changes in muscle morphology, function and gene networks relative to placebo ingestion in trained males. Abstract Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely overused in sports.

Immediate Effects of Plyometric Exercises on Speed, Balance and Jump Ability of Amateur Futsal Players: A Randomized Control Trial

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2019
Introduction: The rate of football-related traumas is high. However, greater levels of fitness may decrease the probability of these injuries. Researchers believe that plyometric training can have significant short-term results.

Effects of Maximal Concentric Contractions on Myotendinous Mechanical Properties in Prepubertal Boys

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the effects of a fatiguing concentric exercise on the myotendinous mechanical properties of the knee extensors between men and prepubertal boys. Ten prepubertal boys and 10 men performed a fatiguing exercise consisting of five sets of 20 maximal isokinetic concentric knee extensor contractions.

Performances and Fatigue Responses to Weighted Vest Training in Parkour Novices

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Weighted vest training has demonstrated benefits for muscle strength, which is critical for parkour performance. However, the acute effects of external loading in this discipline remain poorly understood. This study investigated the impact of weighted vest use during parkour sessions on lower‐limb performance, perceived exertion, and muscle ...

Intervention to Improve Running and Physical Activity Participation in Children With Generalised Joint Hypermobility: A Feasibility Study

Child: Care, Health and Development, Volume 52, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Children with symptomatic paediatric generalised joint hypermobility (pgGJH) have limitations in physical activity and participation, yet there is a lack of research to guide intervention. In Australia, these children do not receive funding support.

Effectiveness of Resistance Training in People With Down Syndrome: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, Volume 39, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training (RT) in people with Down syndrome (DS) as a way of improving strength, physical and metabolic function, and possible adverse effects. Methods Systematic review and meta‐analysis of RCTs in PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, and WoS databases in September‐2023, registered in PROSPERO (

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4073-4088, 1 September 2026.
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...
