  2. 1. Strenght training and anabolic steroids : a comparative study of the trapezius, a shoulder muscle and the vastus lateralis, a thigh muscle, of strength trained athletes

    Author : Anders Eriksson; Bengt Saltin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : strength training; anabolic steroids; vastus lateralis; trapezius; enzymehistochemistry; immunohistochemistry; muscle fiber; myonuclei; satellite cell; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Strength training is widely used to increase performance in sports with high physical demands. The use of drugs such as anabolic steroids among athletes is a wellknown phenomenon, and the effects of these drugs on physical performance documented. READ MORE

  5. 3. Human Skeletal Muscle : a basic proteomic approach

    Author : Jenny Hadrevi; Fatima Pedrosa-Domellöf; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The trapezius is a muscle of clinical interest due to its susceptibility to chronic work related musculoslteletal disorders. The mechanisms underlying these conditions are not fully understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Elite sprinters, ice hockey players, orienteers and marathon runners : isokinetic leg muscle performance in relation to muscle structure and training

    Author : Christer Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electromyography; endurance; enzyme histocytochemistry; fatigue; ice hockey; isokinetic; muscle contraction; OBLA; orienteering; running;

    Abstract : In male athletes from different sports, isokinetic knee extensor, and in orienteers also plantar flexor peak torque (PT), contractional work (CW) and integrated surface electromyograms (iEMG) were analysed.Single contraction PT, CW and iEMG in sprinters and marathon runners were signi­ficantly correlated to the cross-sectional area (CSA) of m.

  7. 5. Physical capacity, physical activity and skeletal muscle in heart failure : studies of pathophysiology

    Author : Michael Melin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), especially to explore possible mechanistic links between the failing heart and the periphery, as well as to explore variables with possible prognostic utilisation. In Study I we asked if the degree of variability in physical activity (PA) could hold prognostic value. READ MORE
