The potential effects of exposure to repetitive subconcussive head impacts through routine participation in sport are not understood. To investigate the we studied boxers following customary training (sparring) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), decomposition electromyographic (EMG) and tests memory.Twenty amateur performed three 3-min sparring bouts. Parameters brain function motor control were assessed prior again immediately, 1 h 24 post-sparring. Twenty participants...
The suitability of corticomotor inhibition and corticospinal excitability to measure brain health outcomes recovery sport-related head impact (concussion subconcussion) depends on good inter-day reliability, which is evaluated in this study. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) reliability soccer players assessed by comparing players, for whom may be reduced due exposure impacts, generally active individuals not engaged contact sport.TMS-derived were recorded from the rectus femoris...
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess if injury-related alterations in the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-5 (SCAT5) are matched by changes transcranial magnetic stimulation-derived intracortical inhibition. We hypothesised that neurophysiological measures would take longer return normal than recovery assessed SCAT5 following sport related concussion (SRC). Methods: Thirteen male contact athletes (20.5 ± 4.5 years), who reported a were recruited from local Rugby and American...
Abstract Dugdale, JH, Hunter, AM, Di Virgilio, TG, Macgregor, LJ, and Hamilton, DL. Influence of the “Slingshot” bench press training aid on kinematics neuromuscular activity in competitive powerlifters. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 327–336, 2019—This study examined acute effects (SS) performance, prime mover surface electromyographic (sEMG) amplitude, barbell velocity during maximal submaximal pressing male Fifteen powerlifters (mean ± SD ; age: 27.05 5.94 years; mass: 94.15 13.43 kg; 1...
Cyclical changes in hormone profiles across the menstrual cycle are associated with alterations metabolic control. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to regulating control, including adipose tissue metabolism. How fluctuations hormonal affect miRNA expression remains unknown. Eleven healthy, regularly menstruating females underwent four sampling visits their cycle. Subcutaneous abdominal and venous blood samples were collected at each visit. Luteinizing (LH) tests, calendar counting, serum...
Objectives: The aim of this descriptive study was to characterise anthropometric variables, aerobic capacity, running performance and energy intake expenditure hill runners in free-living conditions, investigate the relationship between age, capacity performance. Methods: Twenty-eight participated (17 males 11 females; aged 18–65 years). Body fat percentage estimate, sum eight skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, biceps, iliac crest, supraspinale, abdominal, front thigh medial calf) maximal...
Studies on adipose tissue are useful in understanding metabolic and other conditions. Human subcutaneous is accessible. With appropriate training strict adherence to aseptic technique, samples can be safely efficiently obtained a non-clinical setting by researchers. Following the administration of local anesthetic lateral umbilicus, 14 G needle attached 5 or 10 mL syringe inserted through skin into tissue. Under suction, moved reciprocating, slicing motion isolate fragments Withdrawing...
Postural control has been shown to decline following a bout of soccer ball heading, although mechanisms underling this impairment remain unclear. Repetitive sub-concussive head impacts (RSHI) may disrupt cortico-spinal pathways trigger these changes, however, no data exists. PURPOSE: To establish the effect RSHI on excitability and inhibition by repeated heading. METHODS: Twenty healthy male female players were recruited for baseline subsequent post intervention measures. Following...
