Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of basic training on material handling ability and physical fitness of British Army recruits
TL;DR: It is concluded that basic training in the British Army produces some favourable adaptations in recruits, especially in terms of aerobic fitness, but the poor development of strength and material handling ability during training fails to improve the ability of soldiers to perform simulated military tasks, and it does little to reduce future injury risk while performing these tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of buspirone on perceived exertion and time to fatigue in man
TL;DR: This study supports the possible central modulation of exercise tolerance by serotonergic pathways, although a role for dopamine cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of passive heating and head-cooling on perception of exercise in the heat
TL;DR: The results suggest increased RPE during exercise in the heat is primarily due to the increase in Tcore, and head-cooling attenuates the rise in T core and the effect on RPE is proportional to the rise on Tcore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance training and the enhancement of the gains in material-handling ability and physical fitness of British Army recruits during basic training
TL;DR: It was concluded that the improvements in material-handling ability and other aspects of physical fitness brought about in recruits by British Army basic training can be enhanced by the use of a physical training programme that includes a carefully designed resistance training element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of the operon which encodes the RNA polymerase sigma factor sigma 54 of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The homologies suggest that this effect on sigma 54 may be mediated by sequential protein phosphorylation and suggest that there is a link between signal transduction and transcription of s Sigma 54-dependent genes.
