Dynamics of cardiovascular and baroreflex readjustments during a light-to-moderate exercise transient in humans.
Published in European journal of applied physiology
We hypothesised that, during a light-to-moderate exercise transient, compared to an equivalent rest-to-exercise transient, (1) a further baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) decrease would be slower, (2) no rapid heart rate (HR) response would occur, and (3) the rapid cardiac output (CO) response would have a smaller amplitude (A1). Hence, we analysed the ...
Increased exogenous but unaltered endogenous carbohydrate oxidation with combined fructose-maltodextrin ingested at 120 ...
Published in European journal of applied physiology
This study aimed to investigate whether carbohydrate ingestion during 3 h long endurance exercise in highly trained cyclists at a rate of 120 g h-1 in 0.8:1 ratio between fructose and glucose-based carbohydrates would result in higher exogenous and lower endogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates as compared to ingestion of 90 g h-1 in 1:2 ratio, whic...
Effect of electromyostimulation training on intramuscular fat accumulation determined by ultrasonography in older adults...
Published in European Journal of Applied Physiology
Purpose Electromyostimulation (EMS) induces a short-term change in muscle metabolism, and EMS training induces long-term improvements of muscle atrophy and function. However, the effects of EMS training on intramuscular fat in older adults are still poorly known. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the intramuscular fat index and bioch...

Potential role of passively increased muscle temperature on contractile function.
Published in European journal of applied physiology
Declines in muscle force, power, and contractile function can be observed in older adults, clinical populations, inactive individuals, and injured athletes. Passive heating exposure (e.g., hot baths, sauna, or heated garments) has been used for health purposes, including skeletal muscle treatment. An acute increase in muscle temperature by passive ...
Non-pharmacological interventions for vascular health and the role of the endothelium
Published in European Journal of Applied Physiology
The most common non-pharmacological intervention for both peripheral and cerebral vascular health is regular physical activity (e.g., exercise training), which improves function across a range of exercise intensities and modalities. Numerous non-exercising approaches have also been suggested to improved vascular function, including repeated ischemi...
Menstrual cycle affects iron homeostasis and hepcidin following interval running exercise in endurance-trained women
Published in European Journal of Applied Physiology
Purpose Menstrual cycle phase affects resting hepcidin levels, but such effects on the hepcidin response to exercise are still unclear. Thus, we investigated the hepcidin response to running during three different menstrual cycle phases. Methods Twenty-one endurance-trained eumenorrheic women performed three identical interval running protocols dur...
Prolonged cycling reduces power output at the moderate-to-heavy intensity transition
Published in European Journal of Applied Physiology
Purpose To determine the effect of prolonged exercise on moderate-to-heavy intensity transition power output and heart rate. Methods Fourteen endurance-trained cyclists and triathletes took part in the present investigation (13 males, 1 female, V·O2peak 59.9 ± 6.8 mL.kg−1.min−1). Following a characterisation trial, participants undertook a five-sta...
Mental calculation increases physiological postural tremor, but does not influence physiological goal-directed kinetic t...
Published in European Journal of Applied Physiology
Purpose During a cognitive effort, an increase in cortical electrical activity, functional alterations in the anterior cingulate cortex, and modifications in cortical inputs to the active motor units have been reported. In light of this, an increase in tremor could be anticipated as result of a mental task. In the present work, we tested this hypot...
