Effects of concentric and eccentric training on muscle strength, cross-sectional area, and neural activation
TL;DR: Ecc is more effective than Con isokinetics training for developing strength in Ecc isokinetic muscle actions and that Con is moreeffective than Ecc iskinetic training fordeveloping strength in Con iskinetics muscle actions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Barry M. Prior,Kirk J. Cureton,Christopher M. Modlesky,Ellen M. Evans,Mark A. Sloniger,Michael J. Saunders,Richard D. Lewis +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that body composition estimates from DEXA are accurate compared with those from a four-component model in young adults who vary in gender, race, athletic status, body size, musculoskeletal development, and body fatness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle hypertrophy in men and women.
TL;DR: It is widely believed that women experience less skeletal muscle hypertrophy consequent to heavy-resistance training than men, but this hypothesis was tested using both traditional indirect indicators as well as a direct measure of muscle size using computed tomography scanning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sprint Interval Training Effects on Aerobic Capacity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Evaluation of effects and analysis of moderating variables consolidates the findings of small-sample studies and contributes to the practical application of SIT to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooling vest worn during active warm-up improves 5-km run performance in the heat
Sigurbjörn Á. Arngrímsson,Darby S. Petitt,Matthew G. Stueck,Dennis K. Jorgensen,Kirk J. Cureton +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a cooling vest worn during active warm-up by track athletes enhances 5-km run performance in the heat and reduced thermal and cardiovascular strain and perception of thermal discomfort in the early portion of the run appear to permit a faster pace later in the run.
