Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of futsal match-related fatigue on running performance, neuromuscula…
Endurance performance involves the prolonged maintenance of constant or self-regulated power/velocity or torque/force. While the impact of …
There are strong genetic components to cardiorespiratory fitness and its response to exercise training. It would be useful to understand th…
Tools have been used for millions of years to augment the capabilities of the human body, allowing us to accomplish tasks that would otherw…
Prolonged unaccustomed exercise involving muscle lengthening (eccentric) actions can result in ultrastructural muscle disruption, impaired …
Exhaustive exercise can cause a transient depression of immune function. Data indicate significant effects of immune activation cascades on…
Background The purpose of this study was to determine whether short-term supplementation of a powdered tart cherry supplement prior to and …
In sports medicine, there is increasing interest in quantifying the elastic properties of skeletal muscle, especially during extreme muscul…
A higher protein intake has been recommended for endurance athletes compared with healthy non-exercising individuals based primarily on nit…
The effects of endurance training on endurance performance characteristics and cardiac autonomic modulation during night sleep were investi…
The study investigates how dietary nitrate affects oxygen consumption during exercise in different fitness levels.
