Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and Functional Responses to Low-Moderate Versus High-Intensity Progressive Resistance Training in Frail Elders
Olivier R. Seynnes,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Olivier Hue,Pierre Pras,Patrick Legros,Pierre Louis Bernard +5 more
TL;DR: Supervised HI, free weight-based training for frail elders appears to be as safe as lower intensity training but is more effective physiologically and functionally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods to determine aerobic endurance
TL;DR: The present review examines methods available in the literature to assess aerobic endurance and concludes that there is no unique intensity corresponding to the AT, and the non-invasive determination of the AT using ventilatory and heart rate data instead of blood lactate concentration ([La- ]b) is not valid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal whole-body vibration settings for muscle strength and power enhancement in human knee extensors.
TL;DR: It is concluded that high-frequency/high peak-to-peak displacement was the most effective vibration setting to enhance knee extensor muscle strength and jump performance during a 6-week WBV training program and that these improvements were not mediated by central neural adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force Steadiness in the Lower Extremities as an Independent Predictor of Functional Performance in Older Women
Olivier R. Seynnes,Olivier Hue,Frédéric Garrandes,Serge S. Colson,Pierre Louis Bernard,Patrick Legros,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that steadiness is an independent predictor of brief, stressful functional-performance tasks in older women with mild functional impairment and improving steadiness might help reduce functional limitations or disability in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood lactate response to overtraining in male endurance athletes.
TL;DR: The main difference between the two conditions is the decrease of [La−]b,peak during overtraining, which is proposed as a marker of overtraining for long duration events, and repeating its measurement after a sufficient period of rest to make the distinction with overreaching.
