Journal ArticleDOI
Strong relationships exist between muscle volume, joint power and whole-body external mechanical power in adults and children.
Thomas D. O'Brien,Neil D. Reeves,Vasilios Baltzopoulos,David A. Jones,David A. Jones,Constantinos N. Maganaris +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the quadriceps femoris muscle volume accounts largely for the increase in power that occurs with maturation in the two genders not only in kinematically constrained knee extensions but also in multijoint tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle properties and fatigue resistance in relation to smoking history
Rob C. I. Wüst,Rob C. I. Wüst,Christopher I. Morse,Arnold de Haan,Arnold de Haan,Jörn Rittweger,David A. Jones,David A. Jones,Hans Degens +8 more
TL;DR: While muscle mass and contractile properties are similar in smokers and non-smokers, smokers do suffer from greater peripheral muscle fatigue, the observation that the cigarette smoking history did not correlate with fatigability suggests that the effect is either acute and/or reaches a ceiling, rather than being cumulative.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of passive heating and head cooling on perception, cardiovascular function and cognitive performance in the heat
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that feelings of heat-related fatigue and cardiovascular strain can be attributed to a combination of elevated skin and core body temperature, whereas decrements in cognitive performance can be attribute to an elevated core temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of Hydrocyanic Acid from Crushed Tissues of all Stages in the Life-Cycle of Species of the Zygaeninae (Lepidoptera)
TL;DR: Release of Hydrocyanic Acid from Crushed Tissues of all Stages in the Life-Cycle of Species of the Zygaeninae (Lepidoptera) is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injury to skeletal muscles of mice by forced lengthening during contractions.
TL;DR: The amount of injury to extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and anterior tibial (ATB) muscles of mice from 1 h to 30 days following passive shortening and lengthening, shortening contractions and lengthens contractions was evaluated.
