Postactivation Potentiation Counteracts Low- Frequency Fatigue of Quadriceps Muscle during Explosive Strength Training Session
TL;DR: The present study showed that potentia-tion increases P 20 / P 50 ratio during the explosive strength training session, however the subsequent (after 30 min of recovery) decline in P 20/P 50 ratio is an outcome of diminishing infl uence of potentiation on the background of persistent LFF.

TL;DR: Thirteen healthy subjects (7males and 6 females) were passively acclimated by means of 7 sessions with passive lower body heating repeated every other day for two weeks with passive upper body heating.

TL;DR: The presence of intratendinous air seems related to high-magnitude, high-force,high-strain exercise of the particular tendon areas, which might represent the stress response of tendons to overload condition.
Influence of spatial accuracy constraints on reaction time and maximum speed of performance of unilateral movements.

TL;DR: In this article, reaction time and maximal velocity of upper limbs of healthy young adults of both sexes during transition from a simple to a more involved task was studied. But the results were limited to a single jerk-like movement and no lateral differences were found.

Pre-Exercise Rehydration Attenuates Central Fatigability during 2-Min Maximum Voluntary Contraction in Hyperthermia
TL;DR: The results suggest that pre-exercise rehydration might have the immediate positive effect of reducing physiological thermal strain, thus attenuating central fatigability even when exercise is performed during severe whole-body hyperthermia, induced by passive warming of the lower body.
