Vibration training is commonly expected to induce an active muscle contraction via a complex reflex mechanism. In calf muscles of 20 untrained subjects, the additional energy consumption in response to vibration superimposed on an isometric …

Impaired oxidative phosphorylation is a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of Friedreich's ataxia (FA). L-carnitine and creatine are natural compounds that can enhance cellular energy transduction. We performed a placebo-controlled triple-phase …
