Strength training is an important component in sports training and rehabilitation.
Quantification of the dose-response relationships between training variables and the …

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving form of supportive therapy for respiratory failure. In
addition to support of gas exchange, other potential benefits of mechanical ventilation …

The aim of this investigation was to document the exercise program used by crewmembers
(n= 9; 45±2 yr) while aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for 6 mo and examine its …

Situations such as recovery from injury or illness require otherwise healthy humans to
undergo periods of disuse, which lead to considerable losses of skeletal muscle mass and …

Long-term manned spaceflight requires that flight crews be exposed to extended periods of
unweighting of antigravity skeletal muscles. This exposure will result in adaptations in these …

In the quest for a viable non-gravity dependent method to “lift weights” in space, our
laboratory introduced iso-inertial resistance (YoYo™) exercise using spinning flywheel (s) …

Muscle mass and strength are well known to decline in response to actual and simulated
microgravity exposure. However, despite the considerable knowledge gained on the …

Skeletal muscle atrophy and strength loss induced by short-term simulated spaceflight are
offset or attenuated by resistance exercise (RE). This study compared the effects of plantar …

Muscles and tendons are highly adaptive to changes in chronic loading, though little is
known about the adaptative time course. We tested the hypothesis that, in response to …

Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis before and after 84 days of bed‐rest
from six control (BR) and six resistance‐exercised (BRE) men to examine slow‐and fast …
