Chronic Dietary Supplementation of Branched-Chain Amino Acids Does Not Attenuate Muscle Torque Loss in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
… (DMD) is an X-linked recessive, progressive muscle-wasting disease characterized by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common and most severe form of inherited muscle diseases, with an incidence of 1 in 3,500 male births1,2. Mutations in the dystrophin …

Neuromuscular Dysfunction as a Novel Indicator for Alzheimer's Disease and Response to Intervention in the 5xFAD Model
… AD is often associated with decreased muscle function and mitochondrial respiration, but the cause of these peripheral phenotypes in a brain disease remains unclear. Exercise promotes muscle, mitochondrial, and cognitive health, and is proposed as a potential therapeutic for AD. This …

Nitrate supplementation does not alter the V̇O2p SC-muscle fatigue relationship in recreationally active men
… to the linear V̇O2p slow component (V̇O2p SC)-muscle fatigue development relationship using dietary nitrate (NO3- ) supplementation during very heavy (VH)-intensity constant-work rate cycling exercise. Using a double- blind, block-randomised, crossover design, 8 healthy men (age, 24±2 yr …

Bio-mechanical characterisation of synergistic muscle control in goal directed movements
… movement requires the coordinated activation of muscles to produce precise muscle forces and joint torques. The co-ordination of muscles, acting on multi-joint limbs and characterised by highly non-linear dynamics, requires significant computational effort. The synergistic control hypothesis …

A study of kinematics and kinetics in time-constrained arm movements
… that descend from the brain instead of encoding muscle torques, influence an existing relationship between muscle torque and body configuration. In the present study, the possibility of torque depending explicitly on position was tested using a task in which subjects (N=5) moved a simulated …

The acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction on fall risk factors in older adults
… irrespective of whether BFR or NBFR. However, muscle torque activation reduced considerably for the tibialis anterior and vastus lateralis after muscle fatigue for the ankle and knee respectively. As there were minimal changes in postural control for both quiet standing and gait stability in …

Electrical train stimulation to assess exercise associated muscle cramp
Muscle cramp is a forceful, involuntary contraction of skeletal muscle, but its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Our limited understanding of muscle cramp may be due to its unreliable occurrence. Electrical train stimulation (ETS) has been reported to induce cramp in the small flexor …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy Treatment for Sports Recovery and Performance
… WBC interventions for treating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is unclear. Secondly, the influence of inter-individual factors on WBC outcomes post-exercise remains an under-investigated area. Therefore the first main study explored the effects of age and body fat content on responses to …

The acute effects of two different training models on markers of inflammatory activation and skeletal muscle injury in patients with chronic heart failure
… systems and the catabolism of skeletal muscle. Although exercise training is important in the management of HF, acute bouts of exercise may lead to increases in proinflammatory cytokines. It is believed that the skeletal muscle abnormalities associated with HF may increase the risk of …

Visual Feedback Stabilisation of a Cart Inverted Pendulum A
… and facilitate delivery of precise amounts of muscle torque, we primarily use our eyes to provide feedback in a closed-loop control scheme. This ability to control an inherently unstable object by vision-only feedback demonstrates an exceptionally high degree of voluntary motor skill. Despite …

The effects of eccentric exercise on delayed onset muscle soreness, muscle function and free radical production
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a muscle strain injury that presents as tender or aching muscles, often felt during palpation or movement. DOMS is associated with unaccustomed, high-force muscular work and is most pronounced if the work involves a significant eccentric component. Despite …

TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DOES NOT DECREASE TORQUE LOSS OVER HIGH INTENSITY REPETITIONS

Mechanisms affecting post-activation potentiation following voluntary isokinetic knee extension
… mechanisms of voluntary PAP in human skeletal muscle. In Study 1, the effects of different contraction velocity, duration and total work characteristics on PAP were examined after a complete warm-up. The contributions of peripheral and central mechanisms to PAP were also examined. Voluntary and …
