Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity levels in patients on hemodialysis and healthy sedentary controls
Kirsten L. Johansen,Glenn M. Chertow,Alexander V. Ng,Kathleen Mulligan,Susan Carey,Patricia Schoenfeld,Jane A. Kent-Braun +6 more
TL;DR: Patients on hemodialysis are less active than healthy sedentary controls, and this difference is more pronounced among older individuals, and there is an association between the level of physical activity and nutritional status among patients on dialysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central and peripheral contributions to muscle fatigue in humans during sustained maximal effort.
TL;DR: The results indicate that central factors contributed approximately 20% to the muscle fatigue developed, with the remainder being attributable to intramuscular (i.e., metabolic) factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of central activation failure during maximal voluntary contractions in humans
TL;DR: It is suggested that a superimposed high‐frequency train of stimuli is a more sensitive indicator of central activation failure during isometric MVCs compared with either the superimposed single or double stimuli methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle atrophy in patients receiving hemodialysis: Effects on muscle strength, muscle quality, and physical function
Kirsten L. Johansen,Tiffany Shubert,Tiffany Shubert,Julie Doyle,Julie Doyle,Brian J. Soher,Brian J. Soher,Giorgos K. Sakkas,Giorgos K. Sakkas,Jane A. Kent-Braun,Jane A. Kent-Braun +10 more
TL;DR: Significant atrophy and increased non-contractile tissue are present in the muscle of patients on hemodialysis, and interventions to increase physical activity or otherwise address atrophy may improve performance and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human skeletal muscle responses vary with age and gender during fatigue due to incremental isometric exercise
Jane A. Kent-Braun,Jane A. Kent-Braun,Alexander V. Ng,Alexander V. Ng,Julie Doyle,Theodore F. Towse +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the mechanisms of fatigue vary with age and gender, regardless of whether differences in the magnitude of fatigue are observed, and a greater reliance on nonoxidative sources of ATP in young compared with older subjects and in men compared with women.
