The purpose of this investigation was to assess the influence sodium bicarbonate supplementation on maximal force production, rate development (RFD), and muscle recruitment during repeated bouts high-intensity cycling. Ten male female ( n = 10) subjects completed two fixed-cadence, cycling trials. Each trial consisted a series 30-s efforts at 120% peak power output (maximum graded test) that were interspersed with recovery periods until task failure. Prior each trial, consumed 0.3 g/kg (ALK)...
Although previous research suggests a relationship between chronic low back pain (cLBP) and adiposity, this is poorly understood. No has explored the abdominal-specific subcutaneous visceral adiposity with disability in cLBP individuals. The aim of study therefore was to examine regional total body A preliminary explorative design seventy (n = 70) adult men women employed. Anthropometric measures were collected, including mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, specific ultrasound-based abdominal...
A retrospective multicenter study.To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and changes in pain disability resulting from exercise-based chronic low back (cLBP) treatment.Past research has shown evidence of a BMI, measurement obesity, cLBP. Exercise is known beneficial treatment for However, it unclear if exercise-induced are related to baseline levels of, or in, BMI.One hundred twenty-eight (n = 128) males females with cLBP performed 8 weeks exercise, consisting 3 5...

<title>Abstract</title> Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women. Current medical and surgical management strategies are not always effective often result significant side effects, including sub-optimal pain management. Exercise may exhibit benefits to those with endometriosis, via hormonal and/or inflammatory cytokine mediation pathways. However, previous research has provided mixed results about the impact of exercise, some studies reporting adverse effects. This study aims determine if...
