The exercise pressor reflex is a feedback mechanism engaged upon stimulation of mechano-
and metabosensitive skeletal muscle afferents. Activation of these afferents elicits a reflex …

The control of ventilation and cardiovascular function during physical activity is partially
regulated by the ergoreflex, a cardiorespiratory reflex activated by physical activity. Two …

Objective (i) to determine the outcomes of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on obese
individuals, and the intervention settings producing such effects;(ii) identify potential …

Methods. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that sympathetic responses during exercise are
augmented in PMW compared to young women (YW), and estradiol administration …

Exercise is a major challenge for cardiovascular apparatus since it recruits chronotropic,
inotropic, pre-load, and afterload reserves. Regular physical training induces several …

In this review, we highlight the underlying mechanisms responsible for the sex differences in
the exercise pressor reflex, and, importantly, the impact of sex hormones and menopausal …

Passive exercise/movement has a long history in both medicine and physiology. Early
clinical applications of passive exercise/movement utilized pneumatic and direct limb …

Musculoskeletal pain due to ischemia is present in a variety of clinical conditions including
peripheral vascular disease (PVD), sickle cell disease (SCD), complex regional pain …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of skeletal muscle stretching on peripheral,
central, and autonomic cardiovascular responses in humans. Twelve healthy males …

Insufficient hydration is prevalent among free living adults. This study investigated whether
hypohydration alters 1) renal functional reserve, 2) the renal hemodynamic response to the …
