The mitochondria are central to skeletal muscle metabolic health. Impaired mitochondrial
function is associated with various muscle pathologies, including insulin resistance and …

Recovery methods, such as thermal interventions, have been developed to promote optimal
recovery and maximize long-term training adaptations. However, the beneficial effects of …

Prolonged passive heat treatment (PHT) has been suggested to trigger skeletal muscle
adaptations that may improve muscle maintenance in older individuals. To assess the …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 6 weeks of localized, muscle‐
focused (quadriceps femoris) passive heat therapy (PHT) on resistance artery function …

Acute heat exposure increases skeletal muscle blood flow in humans. However, the
mechanisms mediating this hyperemic response remain unknown. The cyclooxygenase …

Heat treatment or hyperthermia is a promising therapy for many diseases, especially cancer,
and can be traced back thousands of years. Despite its long history, little is known about the …

Heat exposure elicits a variety of cardiovascular adjustments and adaptations that regulate
blood pressure, cardiac output, and vascular resistance during a time of intense physical …

Oxygen (O2) plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism of complex multicellular life on
earth. Due to the small and finite energy stores in the body, fine-tuned changes within the …

Mitochondria are cellular organelles (ie, specialized cellular subunits) with vital roles in the
cellular function and physiology of most living organisms. Among mitochondria's many …
