Journal ArticleDOI
Myofibrillar damage following intense eccentric exercise in man.
TL;DR: The eccentric exercise gives rise to muscles soreness and influences, on mechanical basis and selectively with regard to fiber type, the fine structure of the contractile apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applied Physiology of Soccer
TL;DR: Soccer players of national and international standard have a maximal aerobic power of around 60 to 65 ml/kg/min, an above average anaerobic alactacid power, and a greater buffer capacity and muscle strength compared with untrained controls, yet seem to be less flexible.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that dietary nitrate has profound effects on basal mitochondrial function and whole-body oxygen consumption in healthy volunteers and may have implications for exercise physiology- and lifestyle-related disorders that involve dysfunctional mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary nitrate on oxygen cost during exercise
TL;DR: This study investigated if dietary nitrate had any effect on metabolic and circulatory parameters during exercise and found that it did not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary nitrate on blood pressure in healthy volunteers.
TL;DR: Nitric oxide, generated by nitric oxide synthase, is a key regulator of vascular integrity and this system is dysfunctional in many cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension.
