Molecular biomarkers monitoring human skeletal muscle fibres and microvasculature following long-term bed rest with and without countermeasures.
The cellular mechanisms of human skeletal muscle adaptation to disuse are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the m...
Atypical fast SERCA1a protein expression in slow myofibers and differential S-nitrosylation prevented by exercise during long term bed rest.
We monitored changes in SERCA isoform specific expression and S-nitrosylation in myofibers of lower limb soleus (SOL) and vastus later...
Incomplete recovery of lumbar intervertebral discs 2 years after 60-day bed rest.
STUDY DESIGN.: Prospective longitudinal study. OBJECTIVE.: To evaluate the recovery of the lumbar intervertebral discs after bed rest. ...
Four weeks of training in a sledge jump system improved the jump pattern to almost natural reactive jumps.
In spite of extensive training regimens during long-term space missions with existing training devices, astronauts suffer from muscle a...
Leg stiffness can be maintained during reactive hopping despite modified acceleration conditions.
AIM: The aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive hops under systematically modified acceleration conditions. It was hypothesi...
Effects of jumping exercise on maximum ground reaction force and bone in 8- to 12-year-old boys and girls: a 9-month randomized controlled trial.
Objectives: To assess adaptations of the lower leg muscle-bone unit in 8- to 12-year-old children following a randomized controlled jum...
Functional assessment of the muscle-bone unit in the lower leg.
Based on the mechanostat theory and the muscle-bone hypothesis, a methodological assessment of the musculoskeletal status in health an...
Serum leptin levels negatively correlate with trabecular bone mineral density in high-fat diet-induced obesity mice.
Objectives: This study evaluated the influence of diet-induced obesity on bone tissue quantity and quality in the proximal tibiae of gr...
The influence of vibration type, frequency, body position and additional load on the neuromuscular activity during whole body vibration.
This study aimed to assess the influence of different whole body vibration (WBV) determinants on the electromyographic (EMG) activity ...
Short-Duration Resistive Exercise Sustains Neuromuscular Function after Bed Rest.
PURPOSE: To assess the effectiveness of a short duration, three times weekly, high-load resistive exercise program on preventing deteri...
