Reliability of neurophysiological measures in upper- and lower-limb skeletal muscles in people experiencing high and low levels of multiple sclerosis fatigue
KEYWORDS Multiple sclerosis fatigue neurophysiological measures reliability 1 INTRODUCTION Studies show that more than three-quarters of people with MS (PwMS) experience fatigue persistently or sporadically (Lerdal et al., 2007) and over half of PwMS describe fatigue as their most severe symptom (Fisk et al., 1994).
The role of medium-intensity training in promoting functional independence and cognitive function in older adults: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Aging is associated with declines in physical and cognitive capacities, negatively affecting functional independence and quality of life. While physical exercise is recommended for healthy aging, uncertainty remains regarding the optimal training intensity for simultaneously supporting physical and cognitive outcomes. This study evaluated the effects of medium-intensity training (MIT) on functional independence and cognitive function in older adults.
Corticospinal excitability and voluntary activation of the quadriceps muscle is not affected by a single session of anodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in healthy, young adults

The Symptoms Experienced by Naturally Menstruating Women and Oral Contraceptive Pill Users and Their Perceived Effects on Exercise Performance and Recovery Time Posttraining
Cycle-related symptoms are commonly reported by recreationally active women, but there was no difference in symptomology between naturally menstruating women and oral contraceptive pill users. Symptom magnitude was greater while bleeding, which was associated with a perceived reduction in exercise performance and a longer recovery time posttraining.
The Effects of Oral Contraceptives on Exercise Performance in Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract Background Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are double agents, which downregulate endogenous concentrations of oestradiol and progesterone whilst simultaneously providing daily supplementation of exogenous oestrogen and progestin during the OCP-taking days. This altered hormonal milieu differs significantly from that of eumenorrheic women and might impact exercise performance, due to changes in ovarian hormone-mediated physiological processes.

Evidence for Acute Electrophysiological and Cognitive Changes Following Routine Soccer Heading
Highlights • Standard soccer heading results in immediate and measurable alterations in brain function. • Changes in short and long term memory function and corticomotor inhibition are detectable immediately after soccer heading. • These changes in brain function after just a single session of heading appear transient. • These data provide direct evidence of immediate brain functional impairment associated with soccer heading.

Evidence for Acute Electrophysiological and Cognitive Changes Following Routine Soccer Heading
The study was approved by the local Research Ethics Committee and procedures conformed to the guidelines set out by the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants, prior to taking part. Twenty-three healthy, amateur football players (5 females; age 22 ± 3 y; weight 72.9 ± 8.3 kg; height 175.4 ± 10.2 cm) were recruited for study via advertisement on university noticeboards and meetings with local football clubs.
Gove opens door for more trees
Ok, it's a strange image - opening a (wooden?) door for trees, but figuratively speaking that's what Michael Gove has done, and good on him! Speaking to the Oxford Farming Conference today, the Secretary of State set out his much trailed views on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy, post-Brexit. In so doing he confirmed that: In a welcome admission, Mr Gove stated that the Countryside Stewardship scheme was "dizzyingly complex".
Inspiring timber stories
In many ways, Scotland leads the UK in designing and delivering high-quality homes and buildings using wood. It now has the opportunity to further mainstream the use of wood, including home-grown timber, and take a lead more widely. And in doing so, it will hopefully inspire the rest of the UK and promote further collaboration from forests through academics and architects to construction professionals.
Same Performance Changes after Live High-Train Low in Normobaric vs. Hypobaric Hypoxia
Introduction Endurance athletes commonly use altitude training camps with several hypoxic methods to achieve maximal sea-level performance enhancement (Millet et al., 2010).
