Background Time-constrained decision-making during athletic movement can impair knee mechanics, potentially increasing risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. This study compared the effects of unanticipated single-leg landings on landing stability, safety, and decision-making success in ACLR and uninjured athletes. Methods Matched-pair cross-sectional data from 14 ACLR (females: n = 6, age: 23 ± 5, BMI: 23 ± 4 kg/m 2...

Background Walking is the preferred therapy for peripheral arterial disease in early stage. An effect of walking exercise is the increase of blood flow and fluid shear stress, leading, triggered by arteriogenesis, to the formation of collateral blood vessels. Circulating micro-RNA may act as an important information transmitter in this process. We investigated the acute effects of a single bout of 1) aerobic walking with moder...

Purpose Physical activity is associated with altered levels of circulating microRNAs (ci-miRNAs). Changes in miRNA expression have great potential to modulate biological pathways of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and metabolism. This study was designed to determine whether the profile of ci-miRNAs is altered after different approaches of endurance exercise. Methods Eighteen healthy volunteers (aged 24 ± 3 years) participated this...
