Assessing performance in pre-season wrestling athletes using biomarkers
(2018)Introduction: Although regular training introduces the desired changes in athletes’ metabolism towards optimal final performance, literature is rarely focusing on the metabolic responses off-competition. Therefore, the aim ... -
Association Between Isokinetic Knee Strength Characteristics and Single-Leg Hop Performance In Healthy Young Participants
(2022)Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the mean peak moment (MPM) of knee flexors and extensors could predict performance in a group of healthy individuals. Methods: Eighty-four healthy ... -
The associations of ACE polymorphisms with physical, physiological and skill parameters in adolescents
(2006)Genetic variation in the human Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme ( ACE) gene has been associated with many heritable traits, including physical performance. Herein we report the results of a study of several physical, ... -
Developing and testing an instrument to assess aquaticity in humans
(2016)We developed and validated an aquaticity assessment test (AAT) for the evaluation of human physical adequacy in the water. Forty-six volunteers (25M/21F; 20 ± 8 years) participated and performed 10 easy-to-administer and ... -
Disparate habitual physical activity and dietary intake profiles of elderly men with low and elevated systemic inflammation
(2018)The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence of chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. The aim of this ... -
Dose-response effects of high-intensity interval neuromuscular exercise training on weight loss, performance, health and quality of life in inactive obese adults: Study rationale, design and methods of the DoIT trial
(2019)Obesity is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates and low levels of quality of life among adults globally. It is critical to examine evidence-based practices for developing lifestyle behavioral changes such as ... -
Effect of cocoa products and its polyphenolic constituents on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation: A review of clinical trials
(2019)In recent years, the consumption of chocolate and, in particular, dark chocolate has been “rehabilitated” due to its high content of cocoa antioxidant polyphenols. Although it is recognized that regular exercise improves ... -
The effects of spirulina supplementation on redox status and performance following a muscle damaging protocol
(2021)Spirulina plantensis is a popular supplement which has been shown to have antioxidant and performance enhancing properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of spirulina supplementation on (a) redox ... -
Experimental verification of regression to the mean in redox biology: differential responses to exercise
(2016)An important methodological threat when selecting individuals based on initial values for a given trait is the “regression to the mean” artifact. This artifact appears when a group with an extreme mean value during a first ... -
Fitness in contemporary dance: A systematic review
(2009)Has been suggested that dancers are less fit compared to other athletes. However, the majority of studies make their arguments based on data deriving mainly from ballet. Therefore, the aim of the current review was to ... -
Impact of pre-cooling therapy on the physical performance and functional capacity of multiple sclerosis patients: A systematic review
(2019)Patients with multiple sclerosis experience many complications that gradually lead them to comorbidity and disability. Exercise could prevent and ameliorate the symptoms that comorbidity or inactivity generate. However, ... -
Long-term intradialytic hybrid exercise training on fatigue symptoms in patients receiving hemodialysis therapy
(2021)Purpose: Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from generalized weakness, exercise intolerance and muscle atrophy, all leading to generalized fatigue and lack of energy. HD patients spend at least 50% of their time in a ... -
Low vitamin C values are linked with decreased physical performance and increased oxidative stress: reversal by vitamin C supplementation
(2016)Purpose: It has been suggested that part of the failure of antioxidant supplementation to reduce oxidative stress and promote health is that it has been administered in humans with normal levels of antioxidants. Methods: ... -
Objective and Subjective Measurements of Motor Function: Results from the HELIAD Study
(2022)Background: Slow gait speed has recently emerged as a potential prodromal feature of cognitive decline and dementia. Besides objective measurements, subjective motor function (SMF) difficulties might be present prior to ... -
Physiological and metabolic responses to hiking: A meta-analysis toward health benefits
(2012)The present study investigated hiking as a type of physical activity that takes place in natural environment and promotes humans health. In the recent years hiking has becoming very popular in individuals of different ... -
Post-game high protein intake may improve recovery of football-specific performance during a congested game fixture: Results from the PRO-FOOTBALL study
(2018)The effects of protein supplementation on performance recovery and inflammatory responses during a simulated one-week in-season microcycle with two games (G1, G2) performed three days apart were examined. Twenty football ... -
Sustainable solutions to mitigate occupational heat strain - An umbrella review of physiological effects and global health perspectives
(2020)Background: Climate change is set to exacerbate occupational heat strain, the combined effect of environmental and internal heat stress on the body, threatening human health and wellbeing. Therefore, identifying effective, ...
