Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced strength after passive stretch of the human plantarflexors
TL;DR: The data indicate that prolonged stretching of a single muscle decreases voluntary strength for up to 1 h after the stretch as a result of impaired activation and contractile force in the early phase of deficit and by impaired contractiles force throughout the entire period of deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity prescription: a critical opportunity to address a modifiable risk factor for the prevention and management of chronic disease: a position statement by the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine
Jane S Thornton,Pierre Frémont,Karim M. Khan,Paul Poirier,Jonathon R. Fowles,Greg D. Wells,Renata J. Frankovich +6 more
TL;DR: This position statement is to provide an evidence-based, best practices summary to better equip SEM and primary care physicians to prescribe PA and exercise, specifically for the prevention and management of non-communicable disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of glucose supplement timing on protein metabolism after resistance training
TL;DR: It is suggested that CHO supplementation immediately and 1 h after resistance exercise can decrease myofibrillar protein breakdown and urinary urea excretion, resulting in a more positive body protein balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human neuromuscular fatigue is associated with altered Na+-K+-ATPase activity following isometric exercise.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Na+-K+- ATPase activity is reduced by sustained isometric exercise in humans from that in a matched Con leg and that this reduction in Na-K-ATPases activity is associated with loss of excitability as indicated by M-wave alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships to skating performance in competitive hockey players.
TL;DR: While many office tests correlated with on-ice skating, measures of horizontal leg power (off-ice sprint and 3 hop jump) were the best predictors of on- ice skating performance, once weight and playing level were accounted for.
