Post-exercise heart rate variability : a new approach to evaluation of exercise-induced physiological training load

2015

To improve maximal endurance performance, an optimal physiological training load, i.e. the balance between exercise and recovery, is required. In general, the goal of a single endurance exercise session is to transiently disturb body homeostasis after which a so-called supercompensation, an improvement in performance, can occur if the recovery period is adequate. The physical training load of a single exercise session consists of the combination of exercise intensity and duration. At the present time, there is no single tool to quantify the amount of disturbance of homeostasis that is equal to physiological training load of a single exercise session. Heart rate variability (HRV), the change…

Heart rate variability in chronic and acute stress : with special reference to nocturnal sleep and acute challenges after awakening

Predicting and monitoring individual endurance training adaptation and individualizing training prescription : with endurance performance, cardiac au…

2016

Humans adapt differently to standardized endurance training programs. While some individuals may achieve huge improvements in physical fitness, other individuals may even suffer from negative adaptations. Special attention should be paid to identification of non-responders, which would enable to modify training to be more effective. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether running performance, cardiac autonomic regulation and neuromuscular performance can be used in 1) predicting subsequent endurance training adaptations; 2) monitoring training adaptations; and 3) individualizing training prescription in recreational endurance runners. Three longitudinal training s…

A Domain Imbedding Method with Distributed Lagrange Multipliers for Acoustic Scattering Problems

2003

The numerical computation of acoustic scattering by bounded twodimensional obstacles is considered. A domain imbedding method with Lagrange multipliers is introduced for the solution of the Helmholtz equation with a second-order absorbing boundary condition. Distributed Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce the Dirichlet boundary condition on the scatterer. The saddle-point problem arising from the conforming finite element discretization is iteratively solved by the GMRES method with a block triangular preconditioner. Numerical experiments are performed with a disc and a semi-open cavity as scatterers.

Onset of Insulin Resistance in Hippocampal Synapses After Traumatic Brain Injury: Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease and Therapeutic Implications

Protein levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus of low/high aerobic capacity rats

2010

Hippocrates and Plato have first documented the connection between a healthy mind and body, during a period which launched analytical thinking and philosophy in Ancient Greece. Modern research has also indicated the contribution of an active lifestyle to enhanced brain performance and decreased incidence of neurodegenerative diseases and mood disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and depression respectively. This has been hypothesized to emerge through mechanisms which are enhanced by exercise and contribute on brain plas-ticity and health. The Neurotrophins hypothesis implicates several molecules in brain plasticity and healthy aging. Among them, Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) ha…

Complete genome sequence of the methanogenic neotype strain Methanobacterium formicicum MF(T.).

2014

The neotype strain Methanobacterium formicicum MFT (DSM1535), a hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaeon, was isolated from a domestic sewage sludge digestor in Urbana (IL, USA). Here, the complete genome sequence of the methanogen is reported. The genome is 2,478,074 bp in size, featuring a GC content of 41.23%. M. formicicum MFT encodes several genes predicted to be involved in adaptation to abiotic stress such as high osmolarity. The strain MFT is of biotechnological importance since M. formicicum strains are often found in production-scale biogas plants and it is suggested as a starter culture for the anaerobic biomethanation process.

Przejawy finansyzacji na rynku kredytów dla MSP

2016

Małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MSP) odgrywają od lat kluczową rolę w gospodarkach poszczególnych państw i regionów. Stanowią ponad 99% przedsiębiorstw niefinansowych. O ich doniosłym znaczeniu świadczy nie tylko dominująca pozycja pod względem liczby podmiotów, ale również udział w kreowaniu miejsc pracy czy dochodu narodowego. Kluczowym czynnikiem siły i sukcesu MSP jest dostęp do środków finansowych. Badania wskazują, że MSP napotykają większe trudności niż duże firmy w dostępie do źródeł finansowania. W finansowanie swojej działalności, zwłaszcza rozwojowej, MSP angażują mniej środków finansowych pochodzenia zewnętrznego, szczególnie bankowego. Problematykę tę uznać należy za istotną d…

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) Does Not Affect Sports People’s Explosive Power: A Pilot Study

2021

Purpose: This study is aimed to preliminary investigate whether transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) could affect explosive power considering genetic background in sport subjects.Methods: Seventeen healthy sports volunteers with at least 3 years of sports activities participated in the experiment. After 2 weeks of familiarization performed without any stimulation, each participant received either 50 Hz-tACS or sham-tACS. Before and after stimulation, subjects performed the following tests: (1) the squat jump with the hands on the hips (SJ); (2) countermovement jump with the hands on the hips (CMJ); (3) countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJ-AS); (4) 15-s Bosco’s test; (5) s…
