• Testing the Efficacy of OurSpace, a Brief, Group Dynamics-Based Physical Activity Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial 

  Irwin, Brandon; Kurz, Daniel; Chalin, P.; Thompson, Nicholas

  Background: Emerging technologies (ie, mobile phones, Internet) may be effective tools for promoting physical activity (PA). However, few interventions have provided effective means to enhance social support through these ...
• Greater (V)over dotO(2peak) is correlated with greater skeletal muscle deoxygenation amplitude and hemoglobin concentration within individual muscles during ramp-incremental cycle exercise 

  Okushima, D.; Poole, David C.; Barstow, Thomas J.; Rossiter, H. B.; Kondo, N.; Bowen, T. S.; Amano, T.; Koga, S.

  It is axiomatic that greater aerobic fitness ((V)over dotO(2peak)) derives from enhanced perfusive and diffusive O-2 conductances across active muscles. However, it remains unknown how these conductances might be reflected ...
• Effect of exercise-induced muscle damage on vascular function and skeletal muscle microvascular deoxygenation 

  Caldwell, J. T.; Wardlow, G. C.; Branch, P. A.; Ramos, M.; Black, C. D.; Ade, Carl J.

  This paper investigated the effects of unaccustomed eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on macro-and microvascular function. We tested the hypotheses that resting local and systemic endothelial-dependent ...
• Kinetics of ventilation-induced changes in diaphragmatic metabolism by bilateral phrenic pacing in a piglet model 

  Breuer, T.; Hatam, N.; Grabiger, B.; Marx, G.; Behnke, Bradley J.; Weis, J.; Kopp, R.; Gayan-Ramirez, G.; Zoremba, N.; Bruells, C. S.

  Perioperative necessity of deep sedation is inevitably associated with diaphragmatic inactivation. This study investigated 1) the feasibility of a new phrenic nerve stimulation method allowing early diaphragmatic activation ...
• Altered Blood Flow Response to Small Muscle Mass Exercise in Cancer Survivors Treated With Adjuvant Therapy 

  Didier, K. D.; Ederer, A. K.; Reiter, L. K.; Brown, M.; Hardy, R.; Caldwell, J.; Black, C.; Bemben, M. G.; Ade, Carl J.

  Background-Adjuvant cancer treatments have been shown to decrease cardiac function. In addition to changes in cardiovascular risk, there are several additional functional consequences including decreases in exercise capacity ...
