Effects of different resistance training frequencies on body composition and muscular performance adaptations in men
(PEERJ INC, 2021-05-24)
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks resistance training (RT) with two sessions versus four sessions per week under volume load-equated conditions on body composition, maximal strength, ...
Hypoxic Respiratory Chemoreflex Control in Young Trained Swimmers
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-29)
During an apnea, changes in PaO2 activate peripheral chemoreceptors to increase respiratory drive. Athletes with continuous apnea, such as breath-hold divers, have shown a decrease in hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), ...
Unilateral versus Bilateral Landing after Spike Jumps in Male and Female Volleyball: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2021-08-06)
Background: The spike is a key action in volleyball, and the landing technique and its asymmetries are commonly associated with an increased risk of injury. Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess how ...
The Effectiveness of Post-exercise Stretching in Short-Term and Delayed Recovery of Strength, Range of Motion and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-05-05)
Background: Post-exercise (i.e., cool-down) stretching is commonly prescribed for improving recovery of strength and range of motion (ROM) and diminishing delayed onset muscular soreness (DOMS) after physical exertion. ...
Strength Training versus Stretching for Improving Range of Motion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-05-11)
Background: Stretching is known to improve range of motion (ROM), and evidence has suggested that strength training (ST) is effective too. However, it is unclear whether its efficacy is comparable to stretching. The goal ...
The Hamstrings: Anatomic and Physiologic Variations and Their Potential Relationships With Injury Risk
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-07-07)
