The influence of age and sex on speed–strength performance in children between 10 and 14 years of age

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: Speed-strength performance is important during human movements such as jumping, sprinting, and change of direction (COD) tasks, which are a substantial part of sports practice.

Sprint cycling performance and asymmetry [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Human Sport and Exercise, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the asymmetries in cyclist’s lower limbs strength and in the pedalling kinematics during a seated sprinting test and to identify the relationships between asymmetries and maximal cycling power. 16 competitive road cyclists (20.6±3.7 yrs., 181.5±5.0 cm, 74.8±7.0 kg) performed 10 Sec isokinetic maximum power test ...

The effect of a bilateral training intervention on sprint start performance of experienced male sprinters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Bilateral transference research has recently shown evidence that the training of the preferred and non-preferred leg can improve overall performance, through the development and adaption of motor processes.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

The effects of acute and chronic sodium bicarbonate supplementation on high-intensity intermittent performance, recovery and subsequent performance in rugby union players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Exogenous ingestion of alkalising agents, such as sodium bicarbonate (SB), has been shown to enhance muscle buffering capacity, thereby delaying the metabolic acidosis associated with high-intensity exercise and potentially improving performance.

Testing the concurrent validity and reliability of a lipowise digital skinfold caliper to assess muscle mass in healthy young adults

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
The aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a novel tool to assess skinfolds and to compare the muscle mass measured through dual-x-ray-absorptiometry (DXA) and estimated using the Lee equation from the values of the skinfolds and

Estimation of temporal parameters during sprint running using a trunk-mounted inertial measurement unit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This research was supported by a grant of the Universit a Italo-Francese (Call Vinci) awarded to E. Bergamini.The purpose of this study was to identify consistent features in the signals supplied by a single inertial measurement unit (IMU), or thereof ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Wearing Lower-Body Compression Tights to Bed After Cycling Exercise Does Not Affect Subsequent Sleep in Healthy Male Adults

open access: yesSensors
There is some evidence to indicate that lower-body compression garments aid recovery from exercise by improving sleep quality, but this evidence is based on measures derived from self-reports and accelerometers.

The relationship between micronutrient intake and cardiorespiratory endurance and speed in adolescent basketball athletes in Makassar [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Adequate micronutrient intake is essential for supporting physiological processes related to aerobic capacity and speed performance in athletes, yet evidence regarding its association with cardiorespiratory endurance and sprint performance remains ...
