This chapter delves into the critical role of oxygen metabolism in skeletal muscles during dynamic exercise, emphasizing the importance of efficient oxygen supply to sustain muscle activity, particularly during high-intensity efforts. The study …

Purpose: This study examined differences in metrics of skeletal muscle re-saturation between strength and aerobically oriented individuals and potential relations between re-saturation and aerobic fitness. Methods: Forty-nine healthy young adult men …

The purpose of this study was to examine how the work rate (WR) influences whole-body metabolic rate (MR) and more local measures of intensity (i.e., pole power, joint power, and triceps brachii (TB) and vastus lateralis (VL) tissue saturation index …

Introduction This study investigated the effects of body weight (BW) reduction and hypoxia on physiological and perceptual responses during high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on the anti-gravity AlterG® treadmill. Material & methods Twenty-six …

Antecedentes y objetivo. El entrenamiento muscular inspiratorio (EMI) genera efectos positivos en el rendimiento físico, pero existen pocas pruebas sobre los efectos en la resaturación muscular en adultos mayores. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar …

Introduction: Implanted spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCES) is an emerging neuromodulation approach that increases the excitability of the central pattern generator [CPG] and enhances tonic and rhythmic motor patterns after spinal cord injury …

Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are established measures related to cardiovascular disease (CVD), a known risk factor correlated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder (OAB). However, no standardized …

Abstract Background Early recognition of peripheral tissue perfusion deficits can minimize secondary complications of peripheral arterial disease in individuals with diabetes. Objectives To compare parameters of peripheral tissue perfusion in the …

Introduction: There is a well-established relationship between the respiratory compensation point (RCP) and local muscular breakpoints determined from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electromyography (EMG). However, these breakpoints have not …

Epidemiological evidence suggests low-frequency physical activity provides health benefits, but the physiological impacts of weekly training frequency are understudied. We investigated whether “Weekend Warrior” (WW) training was inferior to …

To investigate the acute effects of hypoxia applied during discrete work and recovery phases of a perceptually regulated, high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on external and internal loads in inactive overweight individuals. On separate days, 18 …

The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of the Mechanical Systems Coordination Working Group’s (MSCWG) findings, based on FAR 25.831(g), to Chinese pilots through a human physiological experiment conducted in a high-temperature …

Background Multimodal rehabilitation has shown good results in adults with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but there is still doubt regarding the protocol’s ideal format (face-to-face or online), and its effectiveness among adolescents. The purpose …

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the functional capacity of post-COVID-19 patients with a control group and analyze cardiac hemodynamics and muscle tissue oxygenation responses during assessment protocols in both …

To define training zones, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) are commonly established by cardiopulmonary gas-exchange analysis during incremental exercise tests. Portable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices have emerged as a potential tool for …

People with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) experience impaired walking due to an imbalance between muscle oxygen supply and demand during exercise. Studies with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during treadmill …

Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) results from a faulty mitochondrial protein known as Frataxin. The purpose of this case report was to test whether skeletal muscle in FRDA can adapt to an endurance-based training program using neuromuscular electrical …

Introduction: Active recovery (AR) is used during exercise training; however, it is unclear whether the AR should involve the whole body, only the upper extremities, or only the lower extremities when aiming to maintain localized upper body …

To assess the impact of thoracic load carriage on the physiological response to exercise in hypoxia. Healthy males (n = 12) completed 3 trials consisting of 45 min walking in the following conditions: (1) unloaded normoxia (UN; FIO2:20.93%); (2) …

Introducción. El entrenamiento de músculatura respiratoria (EMR) aminora los efectos negativos del reflejo metabólico sobre el rendimiento físico, mejorando la oxigenación en áreas cerebrales implicadas en actos motores, músculos …
