Acute effects of dynamic stretching on flexibility and agonist-antagonist muscle activity
… The purpose of this study was to delineate the effects of ADS on AROM and agonist-antagonist mean and peak EMG. The ADS protocol involved three sets of ten repetitions of leg kicks while in the supine position with the pelvis and contralateral limb fixed in extension. Participants moved the leg …

The acute effects of propranolol on metabolic dysfunction in severely burned pediatric patients
… patients, but much is still unknown about the acute metabolic changes related to propranolol and burn injury. In this study we used stable isotope infusion techniques to analyze acute metabolism in the first few weeks after severe burn injury. Patients were randomized to receive propranolol or …

ACUTE EFFECTS OF LONG DISTANCE RUNNING ON C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS
… <strong>PURPOSE: </strong>To determine the effects of ULT and MAR on C-reactive protein (CRP), aortic blood pressure (BP), aortic augmentation index (AIx), PWV, and LF:HF ratio. We hypothesized that CRP, AIx, PWV and LF:HF ratio would be elevated 24 hours post-race. Our secondary hypothesis …

Acute Effects of Acetazoleamide (Diamox) Administration on Pulmonary Carbon Dioxide Exchange in Humans
<p>Previous studies dealing with the effects of oral acetazoleamide (Diamox<sup>R</sup>) administration in humans have yielded equivocal results. Effects of intravenous administration of this agent, a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, have not been studied until recently. It is postulated that …

The acute effects of whole-body vibration and heavy resistance exercise on countermovement jump
… many studies have been conducted on the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) in relation to PAP with inconclusive results. The use of WBV with elite athletes has been limited, and there are no published studies focussing on WBV and its possible use in activating PAP. The purpose of the …

The acute effects of taping on proprioception in the ankle with previous inversion sprain
The aim of this study was to examine if subjects with chronic ankle inversion injuries have worse proprioception in the inversion/eversion plane, when compared to a control ankle and to examine whether taping the ankle improves proprioception. The most common sporting based injuries are to the …

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Proton Irradiation on the Immune System of the C57BL/6 Mouse
<p>The acute effects of proton whole-body irradiation (WBI) on leukocytes, lymphocytes, and hematological parameters in the spleen and blood of C57BI/6 mice were examined and compared to the effects of photon (gamma) WBI derived from a 60cobalt (60Co) source. Adult, female C57BL/6 mice were exposed …

The acute effects of l-Leucine and l-Isoleucine on glycemic responses in healthy and inactive adults
The ingestion of whey protein or insulinogenic amino acids (AA) with a CHO drink has been shown to blunt the elevated post-prandial glucose response. It has been suggested that AA may facilitate secretion of hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) …
