Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle and blood metabolites during a soccer game: implications for sprint performance.
TL;DR: Sprint performance is reduced both temporarily during a game and at the end of a soccer game, the latter finding may be explained by low glycogen levels in individual muscle fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the nervous system in sarcopenia and muscle atrophy with aging: strength training as a countermeasure
Per Aagaard,Charlotte Suetta,Paolo Caserotti,Stig Peter Magnusson,Stig Peter Magnusson,Michael Kjaer +5 more
TL;DR: Strength training appears to elicit effective countermeasures in elderly individuals even at a very old age by evoking muscle hypertrophy along with substantial changes in neuromuscular function, respectively, and leads to an improved functional capacity during activities of daily living.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of postexercise protein intake is important for muscle hypertrophy with resistance training in elderly humans
B. Esmarck,Jesper Løvind Andersen,Sjurdur F. Olsen,Erik A. Richter,Masao Mizuno,Michael Kjaer +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that early intake of an oral protein supplement after resistance training is important for the development of hypertrophy in skeletal muscle of elderly men in response to resistance training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring tissue oxygen availability with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in health and disease.
TL;DR: NIRS has been applied to measure oxygenation in a variety of tissues including muscle, brain and connective tissue, and more recently it has been used in the clinical setting to assess circulatory and metabolic abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanism for altered flexibility in human skeletal muscle.
TL;DR: It is concluded that reflex EMG activity does not limit the range of movement during slow stretches and that the increased range of motion achieved from training is a consequence of increased stretch tolerance on the part of the subject rather than a change in the mechanical or viscoelastic properties of the muscle.
