Superlative Objoid Constructions in British and American English
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates regional variation in Superlative Objoid constructions (SOCs) and their prepositional variant (at‐SOCs). SOCs combine a possessive pronoun with a superlative adjective. These function as manner‐degree modifiers in a context where the possessive is in postverbal position and correlative with the subject, as in they tried

Introduction: Charting the Evolution of English and Anglophone Writing in Asia
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This introductory article explores the history of the English language and literatures in the Asian ‘Outer Circle’ countries, or English in its ‘second diaspora’, focusing primarily on literature from its beginnings to the present. Due to space limitations, the scope is further narrowed to poetry and the novel – the two genres that, arguably ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The physiological adaptations of long‐term high‐altitude residents without high‐altitude genetic ancestry remain poorly characterized. This study investigated whether permanent residence at low altitude (1200 m) influences performance at higher altitude (2500 m). We compared exercise responses at 2500 m in endurance‐trained athletes living for

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract High‐altitude chronic hypoxia can induce excessive erythrocytosis (EE, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of ≥21 g/dL in men), leading to hyperviscosity and promoting endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to assess whether EE affects the retinal vascular phenotype and the ophthalmological vascular response to CO2.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Upper panel, high‐altitude training typically encompasses 3–4 weeks of altitude exposure combined with training either at altitude or at sea level. Following this, a response for haemoglobin mass (Hbmass) is seen in two of three studies, which coincides with some performance gains in <50% of studies.

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...
