Prevalence of Low Bone Mineral Density in Female Dancers
(2015)
Background and Objective While some authors report that dancers have reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporosis, others have stressed the positive effects of dance training on developing healthy ...
Age-Related Responses in Circulating Markers of Redox Status in Healthy Adolescents and Adults during the Course of a Training Macrocycle
(2015)
Redox status changes during an annual training cycle in young and adult track and field athletes and possible differences between the two age groups were assessed. Forty-six individuals (24 children and 22 adults) were ...
Allometric Associations Between Body Size, Shape, and Physical Performance of Greek Children
(2009)
We adopted allometric models to identify the most appropriate body size/shape characteristics associated with physical performance activities of Greek school children. Children underwent assessments for aerobic and anaerobic ...
Equal volumes of high and low intensity of eccentric exercise in relation to muscle damage and performance
(2005)
We examined differences in muscle damage and muscle performance perturbations in relation to the same volumes of high (HI) and low intensity (LI) of eccentric exercise. Untrained young healthy men (n = 12) underwent 2 ...
The effects of muscle damage on running economy in healthy males
(2005)
Published information on aspects related to Muscle damage and running economy is both limited and contradictory. To contribute to the current debate, we investigated the effects of an eccentric exercise session on selected ...
Dynamic Effect of Quadriceps Muscle Activation on Anterior Tibial Translation After Single-Bundle and Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
(2015)
Purpose: To examine differences in anterior tibial translation in 3 groups: single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed, double-bundle ACL-reconstructed, and ACL-intact knees under gradual dynamic quadriceps ...
A comparison of developmental coordination disorder prevalence rates in Canadian and Greek children
(2006)
We examined whether lifestyle differences between Canadian and Greek children may be reflected in Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) prevalence rates. Data revealed that the relatively inactive Greek children ...
Specific respiratory warm-up improves rowing performance and exertional dyspnea
(2001)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was a) to compare the effect of three different warm-up protocols upon rowing performance and perception of dyspnea, and b) to identify the functional significance of a respiratory warm-up. ...
No effect of antioxidant supplementation on muscle performance and blood redox status adaptations to eccentric training
(2011)
Background: It was recently reported that antioxidant supplementation decreases training efficiency and prevents cellular adaptations to chronic exercise. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin ...
