Age related declines in anaerobic muscular performance: weightlifting and powerlifting

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the respective and interactive effects of age and sex on peak anaerobic muscular performance. The study revealed that age-related decline in muscular power are greater in women than in men only in weightlifting events and that dynamic muscular power declines at a faster rate than strength in healthy aging men.

Relationship of maximum strength to weightlifting performance

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to assess the relationship of maximum strength to weightlifting ability using established scaling methods. Conclusions reveal that when collectively considering scaling methods, maximum strength is strongly related to weightlifting performance independent of body mass and height differences.

Reductions in basal limb blood flow and lumen diameter after short-term leg casting

Article Abstract:

Hypotheses that short-term casting immobilization of a leg would reduce basal blood flow and vascular conductance and induces structural alterations in femoral artery are tested. A short-term immobilization of lower limb decreases basal limb blood flow and arterial lumen diameter.
