Commuting by bicycle (vs. by car) is associated with improved aerobic power, microvascular function and diminished CO2 output in the atmosphere

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The study investigated whether bicycle compared with car commuting, over relatively small distances, has positive effects on physiological variables, cardiometabolic fitness and CO2 output in the atmosphere. Bike Commuters (11 M, 15 F; age [median value (interquartile range)] 51.5 (38.3–56.8) years; body mass index [BMI] 22.8 (21.0–24.1) kg m ...

Impact of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Biological Markers in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Crit Care Res Pract
Purpose Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been increasingly used to preserve or restore neuromuscular function in critically ill patients. However, its effects on inflammatory biomarkers and its safety require to be fully elucidated.

Cerebral oxygen extraction across different exercise intensities: Role of arterial PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Stability in cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is typically determined by alterations in cerebral blood flow (CBF). At rest, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2${P_{{\mathrm{aC}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) and OEF exhibit a strong inverse relationship owing to the powerful influence of PaCO2${P_{{\mathrm{aC}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$

Running economy and lower‐limb anthropometry in adult male Kenyan and Danish middle‐ and long‐distance runners and in untrained adolescents

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kenyan athletes have dominated competitive middle‐ and long‐distance running for more than half a century, a phenomenon suggested to be attributable, at least in part, to superior running economy. Given that lower‐leg anthropometry is an important determinant of running economy, a key contributor to the athletic performance of Kenyan runners ...

Bridging the chiral symmetry and confinement with singularity

Physics Letters B, 2020
We consider a holographic quark model where the confinement is a consequence of the quark condensate. Surprisingly, the equation of motion of our holographic model can be mapped to the old spin-less bag model.

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.

Persistence of fatigue in the absence of pathophysiological mechanisms in some patients more than 2 years after the original SARS‐CoV‐2 infection

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Following an acute infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), a substantial percentage of patients report the persistence of debilitating symptoms, often grouped in a syndrome termed ‘long COVID’. We sought to identify potential pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the persistence, in some long COVID ...

A new method for non‐invasive determination of effective pulmonary blood flow and cardiac output in spontaneously breathing subjects

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The differential Fick method is well established for measuring effective pulmonary blood flow (EPBF) and cardiac output (CO) but until now it has only been used for patients on mechanical ventilation. Here we present and evaluate a new approach adapted to spontaneous breathing situations.

Does nuclear medium affect the transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions of valence quark of pions?

Physics Letters B
We calculate the valence quark transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs) of the lightest pseudoscalar meson, pions, in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter at zero temperature by employing a light-cone quark model.

Sex and performance‐level differences in aerobic and haematological parameters among elite ski mountaineering athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ski mountaineering (SkiMo) is a new Olympic sport with extreme endurance demands and altitude exposure. Previous studies have focused on traditional cardiorespiratory variables, such as maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{max}}}}$) or ventilatory thresholds, but, to our knowledge, did not report ...
