The importance of abilities in inclusive experiences from the perspective of people with visual impairments: the example of alpine skiing

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
BackgroundAlpine skiing offers both opportunities and challenges for individuals with visual impairments. Despite its potential for inclusion, barriers persist that limit participation. Using an ableism-critical and interpretivist perspective, this study

Mitochondrial alterations as potential early events in neuromuscular junction remodelling with muscle disuse

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical inactivity impairs neuromuscular health, promoting skeletal muscle atrophy, mitochondrial changes, and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) instability. However, the interplay between mitochondria and NMJ alterations in the context of muscle disuse remains underexplored.

Steepest near‐infrared spectroscopy‐derived deoxygenation slopes during arterial occlusions provide more reliable assessments of muscle mitochondrial capacity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Assessment of near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)‐derived muscle oxidative capacity relies on analysing deoxygenation slopes from NIRS signal versus time curves during brief arterial occlusions, which reflect the rate of post‐exercise recovery of muscle oxygen consumption (V̇O2m${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}{\mathrm{m}}}}$).

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

When rehabilitation is not enough, how targeting metabolism can overcome the limited plasticity of skeletal muscle after traumatic injury

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a category of large‐scale neuromusculoskeletal injuries that result in long‐term functional disabilities, and one such injury is volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury. In addition to the clinical outcomes related to long‐term dysfunction, co‐morbidities and reduced mobility and physical activity, this review addresses several ...

Effects of a high‐sugar mixed meal on cerebrovascular haemodynamics in young, healthy versus middle‐aged adults with cardiometabolic risk factors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Consumption of a high‐sugar mixed meal (HSMM) increases both glucose and insulin and elicits mixed vascular effects, with reduced microvascular blood flow but increased conduit artery diameter and blood flow. In this study, we sought to examine: (1) whether an HSMM elicits vascular segment‐specific effects within cerebrovasculature; and (2 ...

Sex differences in the prefrontal cortex and muscle oxygenation during exercise until exhaustion in endurance‐trained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the decline in oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex of women is striking. This crucial brain area is directly involved in planning motor tasks. The decline is particularly pronounced at higher exercise intensities, especially after reaching the respiratory compensation point or anaerobic ...

Mitochondrial capacities and quality control following short‐ and long‐term weight restoration after simulated anorexia nervosa

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by prolonged caloric restriction and skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial health is a key mediator of muscle function, yet the role of mitochondria during AN and following weight regain has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial capacities
