We investigated architectural, functional and molecular responses of human skeletal muscle to concentric (CON) or eccentric (ECC) resistance training (RT).Twelve young males performed 10 weeks (RT) (n = 6 CON, ECC). An additional 14 were recruited evaluate acute fascicle behaviour signalling in biopsies collected from vastus lateralis (VL) after 30 min single bouts CON ECC exercise. VL volume was measured by magnetic resonance imaging. Muscle architecture (fascicle length, Lf; pennation...

Regular physical activity is effective as prevention and treatment for different chronic conditions related to the ageing processes. In fact, a sedentary lifestyle has been linked worsening of cellular biomarkers such telomere length (TL) and/or specific epigenetic changes (e.g. DNA methylation), with increase propensity aging-related diseases premature death. Extending our previous findings, we aimed test hypothesis that 12 weeks low frequency, moderate intensity, explosive-type resistance...

Interlimb asymmetries in youth tennis players: relationships with performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2815–2823, 2020—Change of direction speed (CODS) has been highlighted as a critical component tennis. have commonly studied jump tests, but less attention given to the topic during CODS.

We recently demonstrated that low frequency, moderate intensity, explosive-type resistance training (EMRT) is highly beneficial in elderly subjects towards muscle strength and power, with a systemic adaptive response of anti-oxidant stress-induced markers. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate impact EMRT on oxidative stress biomarkers induced old people (70–75 years) by single bout acute, intense exercise. Sixteen randomly assigned either control, not exercising group (n=8) or trained...

Aging is associated with a gradual loss of muscle mass termed sarcopenia, which has significant impact on quality-of-life. Because oxidative stress proposed to negatively upon musculoskeletal aging, we investigated links between human aging and markers stress, relationships strength in young old nonsarcopenic sarcopenic adults. Sixteen 16 males (further subdivided into "old" "old sarcopenic") were studied. The abundance protein carbonyl adducts within skeletal sarcoplasmic, myofibrillar,...

Neuromuscular asymmetries have been previously associated with reduced performance. Similarly, maturation has shown that youth athletes may experience a loss of motor control, which could also lead to compromised physical The present study aimed evaluate and quantify the level asymmetry among chronological maturational groups. Forty-one tennis players performed single leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ), star excursion balance test (SEBT) change direction speed (CODS) test. Differences were...

Summary Adequate sleep has been positively related with health and school achievement outcomes during adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations objectively measured self‐reported duration quality academic cognitive performance in adolescents. This conducted 257 adolescents (13.9 ± 0.3 years) from DADOS (Deporte, ADO lescencia y Salud). Objectively were obtained by a wrist‐worn GENEA ctiv accelerometer Spanish version Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire,...

ABSTRACT Adolescents' mental health and academic performance are subjects of paramount interest. Previous studies have revealed a strong association between these constructs during school years. However, there is little evidence about the dual‐factor model health, which includes combination psychological well‐being distress indicators, no clear consensus on possible differences by sex. Therefore, aims this study were to analyze sex in sample secondary students. The was formed total 265...
