Neuromuscular evaluation of arm-cycling repeated sprints under hypoxia and/or blood flow restriction

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of hypoxia and/or blood flow restriction (BFR) on an arm-cycling repeated sprint ability test (aRSA) and its impact on elbow flexor neuromuscular function. Methods: Fourteen volunteers performed an …

Adaptations of motor neural structures' activity to lapses in attention

Sustained attention is fundamental for cognition and when impaired, impacts negatively on important contemporary living skills. Degradation in sustained attention is characterized by the time-on-task (TOT) effect, which manifests as a gradual …

AltitudeOmics: Exercise-induced supraspinal fatigue is attenuated in healthy humans after acclimatization to high altitude

Aims: We asked whether acclimatization to chronic hypoxia (CH) attenuates the level of supraspinal fatigue that is observed after locomotor exercise in acute hypoxia (AH). Methods: Seven recreationally active participants performed identical bouts of …
