A Simple Analogy for Nervous System Plasticity After Injury
When considering plasticity, the central nervous system can be viewed as a building block house. After damage, building components might be lost or loosened and may be rearranged by renovation, analogous to neuroplasticity that occurs after central nervous system injury. In both scenarios, the location and severity of damage will determine the efficacy of renovation/rehabilitation and thus the quality of the adapted structure.

TGF-β Superfamily Signaling in Muscle and Tendon Adaptation to Resistance Exercise
Numerous studies in muscle and tendon have identified a central role of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines in the regulation of extracellular matrix growth and remodeling, protein degradation, and cell proliferation and differentiation. We provide a novel framework for TGF-β and myostatin signaling in controlling the coordinated adaptation of both skeletal muscle and tendon tissue to resistance training.

Novel Methods of Inspiratory Muscle Training via the Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE)
The favorable effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in health and disease are becoming much more apparent. A variety of IMT methods exist, but few studies have compared IMT methods. The purpose of this article is to review the methods and outcomes of the Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE). (Source: Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews)

Skeletal Muscle Fatigue and Decreased Efficiency: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
During high-intensity submaximal exercise, muscle fatigue and decreased efficiency are intertwined closely, and each contributes to exercise intolerance. Fatigue and muscle inefficiency share common mechanisms, for example, decreased “metabolic stability,” muscle metabolite accumulation, decreased free energy of adenosine triphosphate breakdown, limited O2 or substrate availability, increased glycolysis, pH disturbance, increased muscle temperature, reactive oxygen species production, and altered motor unit recruitment patterns.

Multidimensional Physical Activity: An Opportunity, Not a Problem
Our research shows that no single metric will reflect an individual’s physical activity adequately because multiple biologically important dimensions are independent and unrelated. We propose that there is an opportunity to exploit this multidimensional characteristic of physical activity to improve personalized feedback and offer physical activity options and choices that are tailored to an individual’s needs and preferences.

Sprinters versus Long-distance Runners: How to Grow Old Healthy
So far, aging studies have concentrated on endurance athletes. Master sprint-trained athletes were not the main focus of attention. We propose the novel hypothesis that the sprint model of lifelong physical training that involves high-intensity exercise is at least as beneficial as moderate-intensity endurance exercise for successful aging.

A Framework for Using GPS Data in Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Studies
This article presents a framework for integrating GPS data with other technologies to create dynamic representations of behaviors in context. Using more accurate and sensitive measures to link behavior and environmental exposures allows for new research questions and methods to be developed. (Source: Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews)

Exercise for Obese Youth: Refocusing Attention from Weight Loss to Health Gains
Despite evidence to the contrary, exercise interventions for obese youth target weight loss as a means of improving health. Using Exercise is Medicine® as a framework, we present a conceptual model for the beneficial effects of exercise independent of weight loss in obese youth and highlight novel biomarkers of cardiometabolic health that could prove useful as interventional targets for this population.

The Role of Exercise in the Rehabilitation of Patients with Severe Burns
Severe burn trauma results in persistent skeletal muscle catabolism and prolonged immobilization. We hypothesize that structured rehabilitative exercise is a safe and efficacious strategy to restore lean body mass and physical function in burn victims. Here, we review the evidence for the utility of rehabilitative exercise training in restoring physiological function in burn survivors. (Source: Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews)

Common Synaptic Input to Motor Neurons, Motor Unit Synchronization, and Force Control
In considering the role of common synaptic input to motor neurons in force control, we hypothesize that the effective neural drive to muscle replicates the common input and is, thus, the main determinant of force production. Such a perspective argues against a significant role for motor unit synchronization in force control. (Source: Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews)

Neuromuscular Exercise as Treatment of Degenerative Knee Disease
Exercise is recommended as first-line treatment of degenerative knee disease. Our hypothesis is that neuromuscular exercise is feasible and at least as effective as traditionally used strength or aerobic training but aims to target more closely the sensorimotor deficiencies and functional instability associated with the degenerative knee disease than traditionally used training methods.

Intravascular ATP and the Regulation of Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery in Humans
Regulation of vascular tone is a complex response that integrates multiple signals that allow for blood flow and oxygen supply to match oxygen demand appropriately. Here, we discuss the potential role of intravascular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a primary factor in these responses and put forth the hypothesis that deficient ATP release contributes to impairments in vascular control exhibited in aged and diseased populations.
