Supramaximal Eccentric Training for Alpine Ski Racing—Strength Training with the Lifter
Eccentric muscular work plays a large role in alpine ski racing. Training with supramaximal eccentric loads (SME) is highly effective to improve eccentric strength but potentially dangerous.

The influence of acute variable resistance loading on subsequent free-weight maximal squat performance [PDF]
Elastic bands attached to a loaded barbell during a squat exercise create a variable resistance (VR), thus changing the mechanical loading and stress placed through the musculoskeletal system.

Muscle fiber conduction velocity is more affected after eccentric than concentric exercise
It has been shown that mean muscle fiber conduction velocity (CV) can be acutely impaired after eccentric exercise. However, it is not known whether this applies to other exercise modes.

Mechanisms for the Age-related Increase in Fatigability of the Knee Extensors in Old and Very Old Adults [PDF]
The mechanisms for the age-related increase in fatigability during high-velocity contractions in old and very old adults ({greater than or equal to}80 yrs) are unresolved. Moreover, whether the increased fatigability with advancing age and the underlying

A Novel Surgical Approach to Induce an Ankle Joint Contracture in Rats
ABSTRACT Our primary aim was to establish a novel surgical immobilization approach to induce a persistent ankle plantar‐flexion contracture in the Wistar rat. A stainless steel suture was placed in experimental animals (n = 14) and pulled taut between the calcaneal bone and the knee joint, restricting dorsal‐flexion while still allowing for limited ...

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Recent work suggests that nerve excitability testing has diagnostic potential in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The diagnostic performance of nerve excitability across hand muscles is currently unknown. This study aimed to assess if muscles of the so‐called split hand (abductor pollicis brevis [APB], first dorsal ...

The Effect of Exercise Intensity on Total PYY and GLP-1 in Healthy Females: A Pilot Study
We compared the acute response of anorexigenic signals (total PYY and GLP-1) in response to submaximal and supramaximal exercise. Nine females completed three sessions: (1) moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT; 30 min; 65% VO2max); (2) sprint ...

Sprint interval and sprint continuous training increases circulating CD34+ cells and cardio-respiratory fitness in young healthy women [PDF]
The improvement of vascular health in the exercising limb can be attained by sprint interval training (SIT). However, the effects on systemic vascular function and on circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) which may contribute to endothelial repair have ...

Following maximal surgery when feasible, management of adult patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)‐mutant glioma is complex and should be considered in a neuro‐oncology multidisciplinary context balancing disease control versus potential treatment‐associated toxicities. Options include continued surveillance, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/

Exercise-induced diaphragm fatigue in a Paralympic champion rower with spinal cord injury [PDF]
Introduction. The aim of this case report was to determine whether maximal upper-body exercise was sufficient to induce diaphragm fatigue in a Paralympic champion adaptive rower with low-lesion spinal cord injury (SCI). Case Presentation.
