Core muscle endurance as a risk factor for the development of lower extremity muscle strains : a prospective study Universiteit Gent
Dose-response effects of dietary protein on muscle protein synthesis during recovery from endurance exercise in young men Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Protein ingestion increases skeletal muscle protein synthesis rates during recovery from endurance exercise.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the effect of graded doses of dietary protein co-ingested with carbohydrate on whole-body protein metabolism, and skeletal muscle myofibrillar (MyoPS) and mitochondrial (MitoPS) protein synthesis rates during recovery from endurance exercise.
METHODS: In a randomized, ...
The correlation between quadriceps muscle strength and endurance and exercise performance in patients with COPD Universiteit Hasselt
To determine the association between quadriceps muscle strength (QMS) and endurance (QME) and exercise capacity in patients with COPD after stratification for sex and resting lung function (LF). Data were collected from 3,246 patients with COPD (60% men, 64 +/- 9yr), including measures of exercise capacity [peak aerobic capacity (peakVo(2)), 6-min walk distance (6MWD)] and isokinetic QMS and QME. Patients were stratified for sex, forced ...
Is postoperative fatigue related to impaired muscle endurance? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND
Following surgery patients are often confronted with a sensation of fatigue, especially after abdominal interventions. This phenomenon, which can last for up to 3 months, induces disability in activities of daily life and leads to prolonged absence from work. In the literature, postoperative fatigue has been described based on self-reported perceived fatigue and its impact on muscle performance remains unclear.
AIM OF ...

Muscle endurance in elderly nursing home residents is related to fatigue perception, mobility, and circulating TNF-alpha, IL-6 and Hsp70. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objectives: To explore the relationships of muscle endurance with circulating Interleukin (IL)-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha and Heat Shock Protein (Hsp)70 in nursing home residents, and to assess how muscle endurance related to self-perceived fatigue and mobility.
Design: Exploratory study
Setting: Three nursing homes of the Foundation for Psychogeriatrics (Brussels, Belgium).
Participants: Seventy-seven residents (53 ...

Effects of Aerobic Endurance, Muscle Strength, and Motor Control Exercise on Physical Fitness and Musculoskeletal Injury Rate in Preprofessional Dancers: An Uncontrolled Trial Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objective
The purpose of this study was to evaluate musculoskeletal injury rate and physical fitness before and 6 months after an endurance, strength, and motor control exercise program in preprofessional dancers.
Methods
This uncontrolled trial was completed at a college offering a professional bachelor degree in dance. Forty preprofessional dancers underwent a test battery before and after a 6-month lasting exercise ...

INFLAMMATION AND SELF-PERCEIVED FATIGUE ARE RELATED TO MUSCLE ENDURANCE IN ELDERLY NURSING HOME RESIDENTS Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND
Previously, we have described an easy and reliable method to evaluate muscle endurance in frail elderly subjects [1-4]. During the test subjects are instructed to sustain maximal handgrip effort as long as possible, and fatigue resistance is recorded as the time during which grip strength drops to 50% of its maximum. Fatigue resistance allows the calculation of grip work, a supplementary parameter for muscle endurance we have ...

Surgery-Induced Inflammation in Relation to Age, Muscle Endurance, and Self-Perceived Fatigue. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background.
Elective abdominal surgery can be considered as a model for an important acute inflammatory trigger in human participants. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of surgery-induced inflammation on muscle strength, endurance, and self-perceived fatigue and its relation with age.
Methods.
Sixty-six elective abdominal surgery patients aged 24-91 years were assessed before and at the second and fourth ...
