Cardiac resynchronization therapy represents a therapeutic option for heart failure drug-
refractory patients. However, due to the lack of success in 30% of the cases, there is a …

The Sarcolab pilot study of 2 crewmembers, investigated before and after a 6-mo
International Space Station mission, has demonstrated the substantial muscle wasting and …

Gait speed is a useful predictor of adverse outcomes, including incident mobility disability
and mortality in older adults. While aerobic exercise training (AEX) is generally an effective …

Statins exacerbate exercise-induced skeletal muscle injury. Muscle-specific microRNAs
(myomiRs) increase in plasma after prolonged exercise, but the patterns of myomiRs …

Genetic variants may contribute to confer elite athlete status. However, this does not mean
that a person with favourable genetic traits would become a champion because multiple …

Progressive age-related changes in skeletal muscle mass and composition, underpin
decreases in muscle function, which can inturn lead to impaired mobility and quality of life in …

It is a well-known fact that physical activity benefits people of all age groups. However,
highly intensive training, maladaptation, improper equipment, and lack of sufficient rest lead …

Skeletal muscle function is important for good health and independent living, and has been
subject to numerous studies focused on skeletal muscle development, function and …

Objective A role for microRNAs is implicated in several biological and pathological
processes. We investigated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate …

Background Increase of exercise capacity (peak VO 2) after cardiac rehabilitation improves
outcome in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Systolic and diastolic function have …
