Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of plyometric jump training on the physical fitness of young male soccer players: Modulation of response by inter-set recovery interval and maturation status.
Rodrigo Ramirez-Campillo,Cristian Álvarez,Javier Sánchez-Sánchez,Maamer Slimani,Paulo Gentil,Mohamed Souhaiel Chelly,Roy J. Shephard +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that plyometric jump training improves the physical fitness of adolescents, irrespective of their maturity, but that in older individuals gains are greater with a longer inter-set recovery interval.
Journal Article
Arthritis, osteoporosis, and low back pain: evidence-based clinical risk assessment for physical activity and exercise clearance.
TL;DR: The prevalence and effects of chronic conditions of the musculoskeletal system (including arthritis, osteoporosis, and low back pain) are substantial; such conditions have strong negative effects on the lives of many Canadians, often leading them to seek medical advice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Independence: a new reason for recommending regular exercise to your patients.
TL;DR: Regular physical activity can augment maximal oxygen transport by 5 to 10 mL/ [kg.min], setting back the need for institutional support by 10 to 20 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between maximal strength of lower limb, anthropometric characteristics and fundamental explosive performance in handball players.
Souhail Hermassi,Mohamed Souhaiel Chelly,Herbert Wagner,Georg Fieseler,Stephan Schulze,Karl-Stefan Delank,Roy J. Shephard,René Schwesig +7 more
TL;DR: The anthropometric characteristics and some physical performance tests are closely related to the maximal strength performance of handball players and coaches should focus on maximal strength training programs for the lower limbs when seeking improvements in the throwing velocity and jump performance ofHandball players.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of body weight and fat during exercise in a cold chamber.
TL;DR: The fat breakdown far exceeded the calculated energy deficit, and it is postulated that much of the “surplus” energy was required for synthesis of additional muscle protein.
