Mounting evidence has firmly established that low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)
are associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and mortality …

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

The impact of genetics on physiology and sports performance is one of the most debated
research aspects in sports sciences. Nearly 200 genetic polymorphisms have been found to …

This review focuses on how blood flow to contracting skeletal muscles is regulated during
exercise in humans. The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscles links oxygen in …

Running economy (RE) has a strong relationship with running performance, and modifiable
running biomechanics are a determining factor of RE. The purposes of this review were to …

Graded exercise testing (GXT) is the most widely used assessment to examine the dynamic
relationship between exercise and integrated physiological systems. The information from …

Derangements in cerebrovascular structure and function can impair cognitive performance
throughout ageing and in cardiometabolic disease states, thus increasing dementia risk …

In this review, we argue that several key features of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
should underpin discussions about the biological and reductionist determinants of its …
