Electroacupuncture Reduces Heart Rate and Perceived Exertion During a Bike Test: A Preliminary Analysis

Author(s): Gaudet E; Castonguay T; Fortin M; Dover G;

Background: Preliminary research suggests that acupuncture can improve cardiovascular function. The purpose of our study was to determine if electroacupuncture can improve performance and post-exercise recovery. Methods: Thirty-two healthy people participated in this study (14 men and 18 women, aged 23.6 ± 3.5 years). The first visit included baseline me ...

Characterization of muscle oxygenation response in well-trained handcyclists

Author(s): Furno Puglia V; Paquette M; Bergdahl A;

Purpose: Peripheral responses might be important in handcycling, given the involvement of small muscles compared to other exercise modalities. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare changes in muscle oxygen saturation (?SmO2) and deoxyhemoglobin level (?[HHb]) between different efforts and muscles. Methods: Handcyclists participated in a Wingat ...

Uncertainty about predation risk: a conceptual review

Author(s): Crane AL; Feyten LEA; Preagola AA; Ferrari MCO; Brown GE;

Uncertainty has long been of interest to economists and psychologists and has more recently gained attention among ecologists. In the ecological world, animals must regularly make decisions related to finding resources and avoiding threats. Here, we describe uncertainty as a perceptual phenomenon of decision-makers, and we focus specifically on the functi ...

Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and body composition to modest weight loss are similar in those with adult- versus childhood-onset obesity

Author(s): Lucas Guimarães Almeida

Adults who have had obesity from childhood are at greater risk of obesity-related comorbidities compared to those who only develop obesity in adulthood. The main way of mitigating these risks in obesity is with weight loss, which has been shown to positively affect the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition of adults. However, it is unclear ...

Fitness Costs of Antibiotic Resistance Impede the Evolution of Resistance to Other Antibiotics

Author(s): Chowdhury FR; Findlay BL;

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to global health, claiming the lives of millions every year. With a nearly dry antibiotic development pipeline, novel strategies are urgently needed to combat resistant pathogens. One emerging strategy is the use of sequential antibiotic therapy, postulated to reduce the rate at which antibiotic resistance evolves. ...

Promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours in youth: Findings from a novel intervention for children at risk of cardiovascular disease

Author(s): Ybarra M; Danieles PK; Barnett TA; Mathieu MÈ; Van Hulst A; Drouin O; Kakinami L; Bigras JL; Henderson M;

Objectives: Obesity is the most prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children. We developed a 2-year lifestyle intervention for youth at risk of CVD. We assessed changes in body mass index z-scores (zBMI) and key cardiometabolic risk factors, physical fitness, and capacity am ...

Assessment of the Relationship Between Executive Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Healthy Older Adults

Author(s): Predovan D; Berryman N; Lussier M; Comte F; Vu TTM; Villalpando JM; Bherer L;

Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health in healthy older adults have been reported using a variety of cardiorespiratory fitness estimates (CRFe). Using commonly used methods to determine CRF, we assessed the relationship between CRFe and executive function performance. Healthy older adults (n = 60, mean age 68 years, 77% women), un ...

Ice Hockey Goaltender Physiology Profile and Physical Testing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Author(s): Marcotte-L' heureux V; Charron J; Panenic R; Comtois AS;

This review aims to 1) be the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature examining the physiology and assessment of goaltenders, and 2) present a physiological profile of ice-hockey goaltenders. It will 1) highlight physiological differences between goaltenders and players at other positions, 2) determine strengths and weaknesses of ice h ...

Disturbance-induced emigration: an overlooked mechanism that reduces metapopulation extinction risk

Author(s): Mestre A; Barfield M; Peniston JH; Peres-Neto PR; Mesquita-Joanes F; Holt RD;

Emigration propensity (i.e., the tendency to leave undisturbed patches) is a key life-history trait of organisms in metapopulations with local extinctions and colonizations. Metapopulation models of dispersal evolution typically assume that patch disturbance kills all individuals within the patch, thus causing local extinction. However, individuals may in ...
