Acute Sleep Deprivation Shifts Substrate Utilization Toward Greater Fat Oxidation During Incremen...

Sleep deprivation alters metabolic homeostasis and substrate metabolism, but its effect on fat and carbohydrate utilization during exercise is unclear. This study examined the effects of one night...

Effect of live‐high, train‐low strategy induced by chronic low‐dose carbon monoxide exposure on...

Altitude training enhances haematological adaptations and endurance at sea level, typically requiring exposure to ∼2500 m altitude for 3–4 weeks. Emerging evidence suggests that low-dose carbon...

Combined effects of normobaric hypoxia and cold on respiratory system responses to high‐intensity...

Cold temperatures (<−15°C) increase exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), while hypoxic-induced hyperventilation exacerbates respiratory muscle fatigue for a given exercising task. This study...

Physiological Benchmarks and Player Profiling in Elite Football: A Role-Specific Analysis Using...

Physiological characteristics such as VO2max, running economy (RE), maximal aerobic speed (MAS), maximal sprinting speed (MSS), anaerobic speed reserve (ASR), and player profiling (based on MSS and...

Blood buffers: The viewpoint of a biochemist

Mammalian blood is a very complex system whose multiple physiological roles require that its pH is maintained constant, in spite of the necessity of carrying over 15 moles of CO2 a day from the...

Cold Water Immersion Does Not Enhance Recovery and Performance After High‐Intensity Interval...

Cold-water immersion (CWI) has become a widely adopted method for post-exercise recovery. However, its effectiveness in restoring neuromuscular function remains inconclusive. This study examined the...

Methodological and aerobic capacity adaptations of high‐intensity interval training at different...

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) in hypoxia has demonstrated superior increases in aerobic capacity (VO2 max) adaptations, but this has not been explored in distance runners. This study...

Oxidative and O2 diffusive function in triceps brachii of recreational to world class swimmers

This study aimed to evaluate in vivo oxidative capacity and relative resistance to O2 diffusion using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the m. triceps brachii of recreational to world class...

Effect of Oral Contraceptive Use on Muscle Hypertrophy Following Strength Training

Oral contraceptives (OC) are widely used by women, while their interactions with strength training are yet to be resolved. This study investigated the effects of OC use on muscle hypertrophy and...
