Circulating nitrate-nitrite reduces oxygen uptake for improving resistance exercise performance after rest time in well-trained CrossFit athletes
(Springer Nature, 2022-06-11)
This study aimed to determine the effects of circulating nitrate plus nitrite (NOx) concentrations on resistance exercise performance, VO2 and biomarkers of muscle damage. Eleven well-trained male ...
The slow component of oxygen uptake and efficiency in resistance exercises: a comparison with endurance exercises
(Frontiers, 2019-03-28)
There is a lack of information regarding the slow component of oxygen uptake (VO2sc) and efficiency/economy in resistance exercises despite the crucial role played in endurance performance. This study ...
The relationship between resistance exercise performance and ventilatory efficiency after beetroot juice intake in well-trained athletes
(MDPI, 2021-03-27)
The assessment of ventilatory efficiency is critical to understanding the matching of ventilation (VE) and perfusion in the lungs during exercise. This study aimed to establish a causal physiological ...
Supervised physical activity in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease: protocol for a randomized clinical trial (ARTPERfit Study)
(BMJ, 2022-04-27)
Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a marker of cardiovascular morbidity, causing disability, loss of mobility and poor quality of life, manifesting clinically in the form of intermittent ...
Severe loss of mechanical efficiency in COVID-19 patients
(Wiley, 2021-06-08)
BackgroundThere is limited information about the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the musculardysfunction, despite the generalized weakness and fatigue that patients report after overcoming ...
Application of capacitive-resistive electric transfer in physiotherapeutic clinical practice and sports
(MDPI, 2021-11-26)
Diathermy techniques embody an oscillating electrical current passaging through the body tissues generating therapeutic heat; use of this technique in the physiotherapy field has been introduced recently, ...
Effect of muscle action on the kinetic and kinematic behavior of the barbell during isoinertial strength assessment
(MDPI, 2021-03-06)
An isoinertial strength assessment was performed to examine the kinetic and kinematic behavior of the barbell during several muscle actions. Velocity–time characteristics, force–time relationship, one ...
Effects of introducing rest intervals in functional fitness training
(MDPI, 2021-10-18)
Background: Functional Fitness Training (FFT) is a new exercise modality prioritizing functional multi-joint movements executed at high intensity as a circuit. Objective: To examine the impacts of ...
Reliability and validity of the Polar V800 sports watch for estimating vertical jump height
(JOURNAL SPORTS SCIENCE & MEDICINE, 2021)
This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Polar V800 to measure vertical jump height. Twenty-two physically active healthy men (age: 22.89 ± 4.23 years; body mass: 70.74 ± 8.04 kg; ...
