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.

Ischaemic pre‐conditioning improves workload, fatigue and recovery in team sport: A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) is reported to improve performance, fatigue and recovery, yet evidence in team‐sport settings remains limited. We examined the effects of repeated IPC on external workload, perceptual strain and recovery during ecologically valid Gaelic football training.

Translational perspectives on neurophysiological responses and mechanisms in blood flow restriction exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining corticospinal tract function is crucial for voluntary movement. Exercise using high external loads/intensities is a promising intervention to promote adaptations to the corticospinal tract and improve physical function; however, such loads/intensities may not be tolerable or safe in populations with neurological disorders, motor ...
