Open DOI
Respiratory System Resistance and Bronchodilator Responsiveness in Paralympic Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury
Introduction: Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) may impair autonomic regulation of airway caliber, whereas repeated exposure to high ventilatory loads may modify airway function through mechanical stretch. Purpose: To compare airway func...

Consumer Grade Wearable Sensor Metrics Are Associated with Internal Forces at Common Running Injury Locations
Introduction: Inexpensive consumer-grade wearable sensors have expanded possibilities to assess, monitor, or modify a runner’s gait. However, it is unclear which sensor-measured gait metrics are strongly associated with internal loading ...

Acute Effects of Cooperative and Coordinative Exercise on Inhibitory Control and Classroom Behavior
Purpose: To systematically examine the acute effects of pre-class exercise differing in cooperative and coordinative demands on inhibitory control and off-task behaviour in children and adolescents. Methods: Two randomized controlled tri...

Competitive Sports Participation and Its Association with Glycemic Control and Disordered Eating Behaviors in Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Running: Competitive Sports, Glycemic Control T1D
Purpose: Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) often face unique challenges in maintaining glycemic control, with a higher risk of disordered eating behaviors (DEB). While physical activity may be associated with improved metabolic outc...

Sleep Deprivation Selectively Alters Cellular Stress Responses During Exercise in the Heat in Young and Older Males
Introduction: Older adults are at heightened risk of heat-related morbidity, particularly in occupational settings where insufficient sleep and heat exposure commonly coincide. Autophagy and other proteostatic pathways are essential for ...

Regulation of Vascular Tone in Resistance and Conduit Vessels of Trained Rats: Effects of 20-HETE
Purpose: Regular physical activity induces a range of adaptations that modulate vascular tone. Although the roles of several mediators in exercise-induced vascular changes have been established, the effect of the vasoconstrictive 20-hydr...

Do Putative Human Reticulospinal Tract Properties Adapt Following Short-Term Isometric Resistance Training?
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether isometric resistance training (RT) leads to reticulospinal tract (RST) adaptations. Methods: A “RT group” of 30 healthy adults completed 4 weeks (15 sessions) of volum...

Combined Effects of Sports Bra Support and Running Shoe Cushioning Influence Breast and Running Biomechanics in Female Runners
Background: Sports bras play a critical role in running, with implications for breast discomfort, pain, performance, potential injury risk, and exercise participation for many women. While breast movement has been analyzed across support...
