The protein α-actinin-3 expressed in fast-twitch skeletal muscle fiber is absent in 1.5 billion
people worldwide due to homozygosity for a nonsense polymorphism in ACTN3 (R577X) …

Employees in Europe work on average 7.2 h per day. Prolonged periods of uninterrupted
cognitive activity during the working day can cause changes in motivation, mental fatigue …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the impact of sprint interval training (SIT) on both
the acute and 3-week modulations of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), as well as its association with …

Background: We investigated the impact of moderate muscle cooling induced by single and
intermittent/prolonged cold-water immersions (CWI) on muscle force and contractility in …

Purpose Muscle cooling impairs maximal force. Using needle electromyography (EMG) to
assess motor unit properties during muscle cooling, is limited and equivocal. Therefore, we …

Background: Whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) has an adverse effect on the nervous system
and neurophysiological performance. In the present study, we examined whether short …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? How do temperature manipulations
affect motor unit (MU) properties during submaximal contractions to the same relative …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine if aging would lead to greater decline in
neuromuscular function during a fatiguing task under severe whole‐body hyperthermia …

Purpose Force variability is affected by environmental temperature, but whether the changes
are from altered muscle temperature or proprioception are unclear. We tested how forearm …

The main aim of our study was to determinate whether a repeated bout (RB)(vs. first bout
[FB]) of sprint interval cycling exercise (SIE) is sufficient to mitigate SIE-induced …
