Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness in critically ill patients is a common and significant complication affecting ...
Acute corticospinal and spinal modulation after whole body vibration.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate neural effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on lower limb muscles reg...
Reference data for jumping mechanography in Canadian children, adolescents and young adults.
OBJECTIVES: To provide age- and sex-specific reference data for mechanography-derived parameters of muscle function in Canadian childre...
Bone turnover predicts change in volumetric bone density and bone geometry at the radius in men.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans of the distal and midshaft radius were performed in 514 European men aged 40-79 years...
Effects of Ibuprofen and Resistance Training on Bone and Muscle: An RCT in Older Women.
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE: Resistance training with ibuprofen supplementation may improve musculoskeletal health in postmenopausal women. Th...
Hypertrophy and Explosive-Reactive Functioning in Sedentary Men following 10-weeks of Whole-Body Vibration.
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of vertical (Power-plate; POW) and side-alternating (Galileo; GAL) whole-body v...
Determining the Posture and Vibration Frequency that Maximize Pelvic Floor Muscle Activity During Whole-Body Vibration.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the electromyogram (EMG) response of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) to whole-body vibrat...
Long bone robustness during growth: A cross-sectional pQCT examination of children and young adults aged 5-29 years.
Skeletal robustness (cross-section size relative to length) is associated with stress fractures in adults, and appears to explain the h...
Urinary citrate, an index of acid-base status, predicts bone strength in youths and fracture risk in adult females.
CONTEXT: Diet can impact on bone strength via metabolic shifts in acid-base status. In contrast to the strongly diet-dependent biomarke...
