Diversity of vanA-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolated from broilers, poultry slaughterers and hospitalized humans in Greece

Tzavaras, I.; Siarkou, V. I.; Zdragas, A.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Vafeas, G.; Bourtzi-Hatzopoulou, E.; Pournaras, S.; Sofianou, D. (2012)

This study investigated the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in the broiler production environment after the avoparcin ban and their epidemiological relationship with human clinical VRE from the same ...

The effects of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on running kinematics at different speeds

Tsatalas, T.; Giakas, G.; Spyropoulos, G.; Sideris, V.; Lazaridis, S.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Koutedakis, Y. (2013)

This study investigated the effects of knee localised muscle damage on running kinematics at varying speeds. Nineteen young women (23.2 +/- 2.8 years; 164 +/- 8cm; 53.6 +/- 5.4kg), performed a maximal eccentric muscle ...

The effects of muscle damage following eccentric exercise on gait biomechanics

Paschalis, V.; Giakas, G.; Baltzopoulos, V.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Theoharis, V.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Koutedakis, Y. (2007)

To examine the effects of knee extensors muscle damage on walking and running biomechanics in healthy males. Muscle damage was caused by 60 (6 x 10) maximal eccentric knee flexions of both legs, selected in a random order, ...

Neuromuscular differences between prepubescents boys and adult men during drop jump

Lazaridis, S.; Bassa, E.; Patikas, D.; Giakas, G.; Gollhofer, A.; Kotzamanidis, C. (2010)

The purpose of the present study was to determine the lower extremities biomechanical differences between prepubescent and adult males during drop jumps (DJs). Twenty-four untrained males (12 prepubescents, 12 adults) ...

Submaximal Fatigue and Recovery in Boys and Men

Hatzikotoulas, K.; Patikas, D.; Bassa, E.; Hadjileontiadis, L.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kotzamanidis, C. (2009)

We examined the effects of a sustained submaximal isometric contraction on fatigue and recovery rates in untrained prepubescent boys and men. Fifteen prepubescent boys and 15 men executed an isometric plantar flexion at ...

Walking kinematics and kinetics following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage

Tsatalas, T.; Giakas, G.; Spyropoulos, G.; Sideris, V.; Kotzamanidis, C.; Koutedakis, Y. (2013)

The goal of this investigation was to investigate how walking patterns are affected following muscle-damaging exercise by quantifying both lower limb kinematics and kinetics. Fifteen young women conducted a maximal isokinetic ...
