Effects of Long-Term Physical Activity and Diet on Skin Glycation and Achilles Tendon Structure.
Joachim Nymann Hjerrild,Alexander Wobbe,Martin Bjørn Stausholm,Martin Bjørn Stausholm,Anne Ellegaard Larsen,Christian Ohrhammer Josefsen,Nikolaj M Malmgaard-Clausen,Flemming Dela,Michael Kjaer,S.

TL;DR: The data indicate that long-term exercise may yield a modest reduction in glycation and substantially increase Achilles tendon size, which may protect against injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclooxygenase mRNA expression in human patellar tendon at rest and after exercise
Todd A. Trappe,Chad C. Carroll,Bozena Jemiolo,Scott Trappe,Simon Døssing,Michael Kjaer,S. Peter Magnusson +6 more
TL;DR: COX-1 and COX-2 are constitutively expressed at relatively high levels in human patellar tendon and are likely targets of COx-inhibiting drugs at rest and after physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticity in central neural drive with short-term disuse and recovery - effects on muscle strength and influence of aging.
TL;DR: The present data demonstrate that plasticity in voluntary muscle activation (˜central neural drive) is a dominant mechanism affecting short‐term disuse‐ and recovery‐induced changes in muscle strength in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose Homeostasis during Exercise in Humans with a Liver or Kidney Transplant
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of liver nerve activity on hepatic glucose production during exercise was investigated, and liver transplant subjects (LTX, n = 7, 25-62 yr, 4-18 mo postoperative) cycled for 40min, 20 min at 52 +/- 3% (SE) maximal O2 consumption (VO2max) and 20min at 83 +/- 1% VO2max, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Losartan has no additive effect on the response to heavy-resistance exercise in human elderly skeletal muscle.
Mette F Heisterberg,Jesper Løvind Andersen,Peter Schjerling,Alberte Lund,Simone Dalskov,Anders Overgård Jønsson,Nichlas Warming,Mathilde Fogelstrøm,Michael Kjaer,Abigail L. Mackey +9 more
TL;DR: Focusing on hypertrophy, satellite cells, and gene expression, it is found that AT1R blocking did not result in any greater responses with 4 mo of resistance training, and there does not find any support for using At1R blockers for promoting muscle adaptation to training in humans.
