The differential effects of prolonged exercise upon executive function and cerebral oxygenation

The acute-exercise effects upon cognitive functions are varied and dependent upon exercise duration and intensity, and the type of cognitive tasks assessed. The hypofrontality hypothesis assumes that prolonged exercise, at physiologically challenging …

Aerobic fitness influences cerebral oxygenation response to maximal exercise in healthy subjects

The study examined whether the aerobic fitness level modifies the cerebral oxygenation response to incremental ramp exercise, and more specifically the decline in cerebral oxygenation from heavy exercise up to maximal intensities. 11 untrained …

Breakpoints in ventilation, cerebral and muscle oxygenation, and muscle activity during an incremental cycling exercise

The aim of this study was to locate the breakpoints of cerebral and muscle oxygenation and muscle electrical activity during a ramp exercise in reference to the first and second ventilatory thresholds. Twenty-five cyclists completed a maximal ramp …

Knee extensor fatigue threshold is related to whole-body V̇O 2max

Purpose: Above a given exercise intensity, rapid muscle fatigue will occur. We explored the possibility of assessing torque threshold for peripheral fatigue during single-legged repetitive isometric knee extensor exercise. We hypothesized this …
