Journal ArticleDOI
Training diagnosis for a load carriage task.
TL;DR: These are the first objective data on which to prescribe training for load carriage on an individual basis and stronger subjects with lower endurance responded better to Circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary O2 uptake on-kinetics in endurance- and sprint-trained master athletes.
Nicolas Berger,Joern Rittweger,Ariane J. Kwiet,Ingo Michaelis,Alun G. Williams,Keith Tolfrey,Andrew M. Jones,Andrew M. Jones +7 more
TL;DR: The slower VO2 on-kinetics in SPR compared to END master athletes is consistent both with differences in physiology (e.g., muscle fibre type, oxidative/glycolytic capacity) and training between these specialist athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and association of single nucleotide polymorphisms with sarcopenia in older women depends on definition.
Praval Khanal,Lingxiao He,Lingxiao He,Georgina K. Stebbings,Gladys Onambele-Pearson,Hans Degens,Alun G. Williams,Alun G. Williams,Martine Thomis,Christopher I. Morse +9 more
TL;DR: The gene variants associated with sarcopenia may help proper counselling and interventions to prevent individuals from developing sarcopenic characteristics, including low muscle mass and muscle strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do PTK2 gene polymorphisms contribute to the interindividual variability in muscle strength and the response to resistance training? A preliminary report
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PTK2 gene were associated with various indexes of human skeletal muscle strength and the interindividual variability in the strength responses to resistance training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in the magnitude of response of metabolic enzymes reveals patterns of co-ordinated expression following endurance training in women.
Jamie S. McPhee,Alun G. Williams,Joaquín Pérez-Schindler,Hans Degens,Keith Baar,David A. Jones +5 more
TL;DR: In 20 untrained young women, co‐ordinated adaptation of several metabolic enzymes following endurance training was revealed, despite differences between people in the magnitude of response.
