Possible stimuli for strength and power adaptation: acute hormonal responses

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different combinations of kinematic and kinetic variables and their contribution to adaptation is unclear. But it is thought that strength and power adaptation is mediated by mechanical stimuli, that is the kinematics and kinetics associated with resistance exercise, and their interaction with other hormonal and metabolic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A wearable multisensing patch for continuous sweat monitoring.

TL;DR: A fully integrated sensor for continuous, simultaneous and selective measurement of sweat metabolites, electrolytes and temperature was achieved using a flexible microfluidic platform that can also transmit information wirelessly for ease of collection and storage, with the potential for real-time data analytics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digit Ratio (2D:4D): A Biomarker for Prenatal Sex Steroids and Adult Sex Steroids in Challenge Situations

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that 2D:4D correlates with organizing effects on the endocrine system that moderate activating effects in adulthood, and is particularly evident in “challenging” conditions such as aggressive and sexual encounters, in which individuals show increased levels of T.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two emerging concepts for elite athletes: the short-term effects of testosterone and cortisol on the neuromuscular system and the dose-response training role of these endogenous hormones.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to highlight two emerging concepts for the elite athlete using the resistance-training model: the short-term effects of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) on the neuromuscular system; and the dose-response training role of these endogenous hormones.

Relationships Between Force–Time Characteristics of the Isometric Midthigh Pull and Dynamic Performance in Professional Rugby League Players

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that measures of maximal strength and explosiveness from isometric force–time curves are related to jump and sprint acceleration performance in professional rugby league players.
