(Taylor and Francis, 2017-08-08)Full Article Figures & data References Supplemental Citations Metrics Reprints & Permissions Get access Abstract Objectives: Cardiovascular function generally decreases with age, but whether this decrease ... -
Short-term rhGH increases PIIINP, a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction
(AI Publications, 2017-07-01)Objectives: In arterial hypertension, amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) is elevated in arterial aneurysm tissue and associated with a poor prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (MI). ... -
The importance of measuring body composition in professional football players: A commentary
(Openventio, 2017-04-18)Professional football players are not considered to be excessively fat, but there is continuous pressure made by managers, coaches and physiotherapists to monitor player’s body composition to help reach optimal performance ... -
The ACTN3 Gene and Differences between Playing Positions in Bone Mineral Content, Fat Mass and Lean Tissue Mass in the Arms, Legs and Trunk Of Rugby Union Football Players
(Symbiosis, 2015-04-03)Aim: The function of the present study was to identify differences between individual playing positions in bone mineral content, fat mass, and lean tissue mass, in the arms, trunk and legs of young adult Rugby Union ... -
One session of remote ischemic preconditioning does not improve vascular function in acute normobaric and chronic hypobaric hypoxia
(Wiley, 2017-07-12)Application of repeated short duration bouts of ischemia to the limbs, termed remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), is a novel technique that may have protective effects on vascular function during hypoxic exposures. In ... -
Qualitative evaluation of a school intervention for the promotion of physical activity: Learning from the perspective of the target population.
(Spanish Association of Sport Science, 2017-07-01)Qualitative evaluations of school-based interventions for physical activity promotion are seldom undertaken, but can provide important insights into unforeseen limitations and consequences of interventions. These understandings ... -
Actovegin equal to performance enhancing drug doping: fact or fiction?
(OMICS International, 2016-10-23)Actovegin is a biological drug that has been used for the treatment of sports muscle injuries. Several in vitro studies have shed light on potential mechanisms of action and the drug has consistently demonstrated its ... -
Should we treat soft tissue injuries with Actovegin?
(ECronicon Open Access, 2016-11-16)Actovegin is a biological drug produced from deproteinised hemodialysate of calf serum with over 50 years of history for its clinical use. There have been many in vitro studies to speculate its potential role and mechanism ... -
Error and Anomaly Detection for Intra-Participant Time-Series Data
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-07-10)Identification of errors or anomalous values, collectively considered outliers, assists in exploring data or through removing outliers improves the statistical analysis. In biomechanics, outlier detection methods have ... -
Differential impact of water immersion on arterial blood flow and shear stress in the carotid and brachial arteries of humans
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2017-05-30)Arterial shear stress is a potent stimulus to vascular adaptation in humans. Typically, increases in retrograde shear have been found to acutely impair vascular function while increases in antegrade shear enhance function. ... -
The cross on rings performed by an Olympic champion
(SciElo, 2016)The cross is a key skill in Male Artistic Gymnastics rings routines. However, few researches were found about this skill. There is knowledge about the forces needed to perform the cross, or about muscles activation, ... -
Effects of gluteal kinesio-taping on performance with respect to fatigue in rugby players
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Kinesio-tape® has been suggested to increase blood circulation and lymph flow and might influence the muscle's ability to maintain strength during fatigue. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence ... -
Asymmetry analysis of the arm segments during forward handspring on floor
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-12-01)Asymmetry in gymnastics underpins successful performance and may also have implications as an injury mechanism; therefore, understanding of this concept could be useful for coaches and clinicians. The aim of this study was ... -
Coordination as a function of skill level in the gymnastics longswing
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-06-18)The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of inter-joint coordination at different levels of skilled performance to: (1) distinguish learners who were successful versus unsuccessful in terms of their task ... -
Technique selection ‘the coaches challenge’ influencing injury risk during the first contact hand of the round off skill in female gymnastics.
(De Gruyter, 2017-03)The importance of technique selection on elbow injury risk has been identified for the key round off skill in female gymnastics, with a focus on the second contact limb. The aim of this study was to shift the focus to the ... -
Sprint start kinetics of amputee and non-amputee sprinters
(PLOS, 2016-11-15)The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the forces applied to the starting blocks and the start performances (SPs) of amputee sprinters (ASs) and non-amputee sprinters (NASs). SPs of 154 male and ... -
Functional phase and angular momentum characteristics of high bar swinging: Differences between the Kovacs and Tkachev on high bar
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05-10)Understanding the technical requirements and underlying biomechanics of complex release and re-grasp skills on high bar allows coaches and scientists to develop safe and effective training programmes. The aim of this study ... -
The influence of hand positions on biomechanical injury risk factors at the wrist joint during the round-off skills in female gymnastics
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-11)The aim of this study was to examine the biomechanical injury risk factors at the wrist, including joint kinetics, kinematics and stiffness in the first and second contact limb for parallel and T-shape round-off (RO) ... -
Biomechanical energetic analysis of technique during learning the longswing on high bar
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Biomechanical energetic analysis of technique can be performed to identify limits or constraints to performance outcome at the level of joint work, and to assess the mechanical efficiency of techniques. The aim of this ...
