Beta-blockers after myocardial infarction: effects according to sex in the REBOOT trial AbstractBackground and Aims. Recent trials have challenged the guideline recommendation of beta-blockers for post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients witho

Do we really need to do research specifically on women's health?

The REBOOT trial finds beta-blockers - a standard therapy for heart attacks - causes harm in women, but not men.

Yes.

The answer is yes.

Cardiac workload and skeletal muscle oxygenation during incremental exercise in healthy subjects We hypothesized that skeletal muscle oxygenation, measured by Near-infrared spectroscopy (mNIRS), is associated with cardiac workload during incremental exercise. Healthy subjects (n = 30, age 27 ± 6...

Data on #cardiac workload during submaximal #exercise by healthy subjects provides evidence for association with skeletal muscle tissue saturation index, independent of other variables, implicating regulation by altered skeletal #muscle #oxygenation.

Do changes in countermovement jump variables follow the presence of low-frequency force depression?

😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Li et al investigated the effects of a powered prosthetic foot that includes a monoarticular powered prosthetic foot and a biarticular gastrocnemius muscle actuator on nine non-impaired subjects while walking on a treadmill.

New paper out in Scand J Med Sci Sports!

We tested the reliability of running economy (RE) and other physiological parameters during 90 min of running.

➡️ Running economy is highly reliable in a fatigued state, a 👍🏼 implication for testing durability

A group of trekkers in heavy gear hike along a steep, rocky slope with snowy Himalayan mountains behind them. Some wear oxygen tanks or carry scientific equipment. Badges on their jackets identify them as part of a research expedition.

My wife just left for 6 weeks of archaeological field school.

It made me think of mine: trekking in Nepal, collecting biomechanics data at altitude.

When the field becomes the classroom, every step teaches something new. 🏔️📐

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.

You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.

Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.
