Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pul...

Abstract In this study, we compared acute metabolic responses and barbell velocity loss (VL) during cluster set (CS) versus traditional set (TS) resistance exercise. Six strength‐trained individuals completed two rando...

Background. The human gastrointestinal tract contains a large community of microorganisms, known as the gut microbiota. Their metabolic and immunological functions influence host physiology. Disruption of this community,...

ObjectiveTo systematically investigate and evaluate the effects of different exercise (TT: treadmill training; ST: sensorimotor training; NW: Nordic walking; CT: cycling training; WT: walking training; DT: dance training...

Abstract The heart critically depends on a continuous supply of oxygen, provided by myocardial blood flow (MBF), but reliable quantification of MBF during maximal exercise is not feasible in humans. We measured MBF at re...

ABSTRACT Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (FILD) is associated with dyspnoea and exercise intolerance. In other cardiorespiratory conditions, heightened carotid body (CB) chemoreflex sensitivity is associated with redu...

Abstract Erythropoietin (EPO) administration stimulates haematological and non‐haematological adaptations that alter substrate oxidation and enhance aerobic performance. The effects of strenuous exercise and EPO on met...

Abstract This study investigated the effect of severe‐intensity exercise on neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) and torque complexity in two muscle groups of different sizes. The NMF of 11 healthy males was assessed through ma...

The senescence of the neuro-skeletal muscle system is typified by a gradual deterioration in muscle mass, strength, neuromuscular efficacy, and cognitive capabilities, which is further exacerbated by metabolic dysregulat...

Flow cytometry has become an important tool in the fields of veterinary, medicine, and biological sciences in general. However, in the introductory and even in advanced university degree courses, students do not have man...

IntroductionSweating is essential for thermoregulation during exercise but causes variable losses of water and sodium chloride (NaCl). Field-based methods to assess these losses are limited by sampling errors and the lac...

Introduction: Neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) are prevalent among military helicopter pilots. Although there have been few studies on sex differences in the NP/LBP prevalence in this population, females are shown ...

Abstract Background Oral frailty is a significant risk factor for systemic frailty and poor health outcomes in older adults. While oral health care interventions may mitigate this decline, the evidence remains fragmented...

BackgroundLeft bundle branch block (LBBB) is a heart rate (HR)–dependent cardiac conduction disorder that may occur in the absence of structural heart disease and can be associated with painful episodes. Evidence suppo...

Ageing and obesity are major public health issues, both associated with reductions in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Muscle quality, which integrates the morphological and functional characteristics of ...

Although skeletal muscle is a target of hormonal regulation, the muscle transcriptome, including messenger-RNA (mRNA), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) has not previously been studied across the men...

Objectives: Rotating or night shifts elicit rapid changes in physiology which the body cannot quickly adapt. In addition, alterations in shift work influence social and familial aspects that ultimately impact the quality...

Abstract Background Triage at major incidents has traditionally relied on assessing physiology, and in the UK, this role has usually been performed by healthcare responders. However, recent major incidents have shown tha...

Anatomical education presents ongoing challenges in helping students master complex content while integrating it with clinical relevance. Neuroanatomy is particularly difficult due to its intricacy and abstract nature. T...

Abstract The effects of high‐load (HL) versus high‐volume (HV) resistance training (RT) on various molecular outcomes are similar. However, mitochondrial responses remain understudied. Therefore, the purpose of this ...

Abstract Children are considered heat vulnerable, with the belief that maturation of sweating occurs throughout childhood. Indeed, young children demonstrate distinct patterns of regional sweating compared to adults, but...
