The objective of the present review was to evaluate the time-course of recovery of biochemical marker levels and physical performance after strenuous military training, and identify which biomarkers are affected. A systematic literature search was co...

Firefighters are exposed to dangerous and often traumatic events due to the nature of their occupational demands. This repeated exposure to trauma combined with stressful work demands increases their risk for negative physiological and psychological...

The roles of 17β estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4), the primary female sex hormones, are pivotal in regulating various aspects of metabolism. E2 influences food intake, energy expenditure, adipose tissue distribution, and insulin sensitivity...

Background: There are no published data on the training-load magnitude or distribution in elite international-level boxers preparing for a major competition nor on the training load’s relationship with objective and subjective training markers....

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting side-effect resulting from numerous neurotoxic chemotherapies that damages the peripheral nerves, alters sensations in the hands and feet, causes burning and shooting pains, and imp...

Breath-hold diving has been traditionally practiced for professional and recreational reasons and has recently emerged as a competitive sport. The physiological response during breath-holding, also known as diving response, consists mainly of bradyca...

Background: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the reliability of two 15-s sprint cycling tests in men and women to estimate the maximum lactate accumulation rate (VLamax). Methods: Eighteen men and twelve women completed two sprint sessions o...

Soybeans are vulnerable to drought and temperature increases potentially induced by climate change. Hydraulic dysfunction and stomatal closure to avoid excessive transpiration are the main problems caused by drought. The vulnerability of soybeans to...

This study examined the effects of two different acute bouts of treadmill running (e.g., steady-state moderate-intensity exercise (SSE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE)) on adipokine (e.g., adiponectin, leptin, and omentin) concentrations...

The physiological mechanisms for releasing and resolving gravitational ischemia in the brain, and their susceptibility to malfunction, may play an important role in a variety of neurological illnesses. An astronaut on a space walk in a micro-gravity...

Insufficient physical activity (PA) is associated with low cardiorespiratory fitness, which favors cardiovascular and other noncommunicable diseases. Additionally, it evidentially affects mental health. Considering the WHO PA guidelines, CrossFit^®...

Background: Although there is much literature demonstrating weight changes in professional mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes, there is minimal data comparing male and female MMA athletes. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to compare wei...
