Costa, Daniela C.; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Celis Moreno, Jorge M.; Sousa e Silva, Paulo; Martinho, Diogo V.; Duarte, João P.; Oliveira, Tomás G.Learning effect occurs when the best performance is not achieved at the earliest trial of a repeated protocol of evaluation. The present study examined, within testing session, the intra-individual variation in an isokinetic strength protocol composed of five reciprocal concentric and eccentric contractions of knee extensors (KE) and knee flexors (KF) among male adolescent swimmers. Additionally, test-retest re...
Bone Response to High-Intensity Interval Training versus Moderate-Intensity Con...
Julian, Valérie; Costa, Daniela; O'Malley, Grace; Metz, Lore; Fillon, Alicia; Miguet, Maud; Cardenoux, Charlotte; Dutheil, Frédéric; Boirie, YvesIntroduction: Since adolescents with obesity are prone to bone fragility during weight loss, the aim was to compare the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on bone density, geometry, and strength. Methods: Sixty-one adolescents were randomly assigned to 2 cycling trainings (HIIT and MICT) and a control (CTR, without training) group. Anthropometr...
