Skeletal muscle is a malleable tissue capable of altering the type and amount of protein in
response to disruptions to cellular homeostasis. The process of exerciseinduced adaptation …

Blood flow (BF) increases with increasing exercise intensity in skeletal, respiratory, and
cardiac muscle. In humans during maximal exercise intensities, 85% to 90% of total cardiac …

We have developed the suspended-load backpack, which converts mechanical energy from
the vertical movement of carried loads (weighing 20 to 38 kilograms) to electricity during …

We sought to understand how leg muscle function determines the metabolic cost of walking.
We first indirectly assessed the metabolic cost of swinging the legs and then examined the …

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory disorder of the lower limb arteries
that reduces functional capacity and quality of life of patients. Despite relatively effective …

We tested the hypothesis that inorganic nitrate (NO3−) supplementation would improve
muscle oxygenation, pulmonary oxygen uptake (V̇o2) kinetics, and exercise tolerance …

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can give information about cellular metabolism in
vivo which is difficult to obtain in other ways. In skeletal muscle, non‐invasive 31 P MRS …

The effect of temperature on skeletal muscle ATP turnover and muscle fiber conduction
velocity (MFCV) was studied during maximal power output development in humans. Eight …

The purpose of this study was to provide evidence on the fact that the observed decrease in
EMG activity of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) at pronounced knee flexed positions is not …

The energy required for muscle contraction is provided by the breakdown of ATP but the
amount of ATP in muscles cells is sufficient to power only a short duration of contraction …
