Perturbed diurnal rhythms are becoming increasingly evident as deleterious events in the
pathology of metabolic diseases. Exercise is well characterized as a crucial intervention in …

It is widely accepted that warming-up prior to exercise is vital for the attainment of optimum
performance. Both passive and active warm-up can evoke temperature, metabolic, neural …

Rate of force development (RFD) refers to the ability of the neuromuscular system to
increase contractile force from a low or resting level when muscle activation is performed as …

Abstract Short-duration sprints (< 10 seconds), interspersed with brief recoveries (< 60
seconds), are common during most team and racket sports. Therefore, the ability to recover …

Most professional and recreational athletes perform pre-conditioning exercises, often
collectively termed a 'warm-up'to prepare for a competitive task. The main objective of …

The physiological equivalents of power output maintenance and recovery during repeated-
sprint exercise (RSE) remain to be fully elucidated. In an attempt to improve our …

Training and competition in major track‐and‐field events, and for many team or racquet
sports, often require the completion of maximal sprints in hot (> 30° C) ambient conditions …

This study compared the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and a field‐based re‐warm‐
up during half‐time (HT) on subsequent physical performance measures during a simulated …

Background Hyperthermia (and associated health and performance implications) can be a
significant problem for athletes and teams involved in intermittent sports. Quantifying the …

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the effect of passive insulation versus external
heating during recovery following a sprint specific warm up on thigh muscle temperature and …
