Disruption of the normal rheological properties of blood is considered an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular disease and plays a significant role in the aetiology of …

Alterations of blood rheology related to muscular activity have been extensively studied over
the last 20 years. It has been shown that exercise exerts a “triphasic” action on the …

Our objective was to detect possible differences in red blood cell (RBC) deformability of elite
athletes performing different types of sports and being of different age and gender. 182 …

OBJECTIVES: Current knowledge. Exercise has several hemorheological effects that we
previously proposed to classify as a triphasic phenomenon: acute effects (hyperviscosity …

BACKGROUND: Red blood cell (RBC) deformability and blood viscosity are essential to
ensure optimal microcirculation and may contribute to athletic performance. OBJECTIVE: To …

Purpose By analyzing external workloads with machine learning models (ML), it is now
possible to predict injuries, but with a moderate accuracy. The increment of the prediction …

Thecost of reproduction'(ie the trade-off between current reproduction and future fecundity
and/or survival) is a central concept in life history theory, yet we still know very little about the …

Purpose We investigated association of hematological variables with specific fitness
performance in elite team-sport players. Methods Hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) was …

Contemporary sports imply huge training volumes, with thus an increasing danger of
overloading. The timely detection of the state of overloading in the organism as a whole or in …

Athletes involved in rugby are characterized by a very specific pattern of body composition
with an unusually important muscle mass. In a preceding study about rugbymen we …
