2. The Acute Metabolic Response of Intermittent Hypoxic Resistance Exercise : A Cross-Over RCT
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapAbstract : Aim The aim for this present study was to investigate the acute metabolic response from intermittent resistance exercise during hypoxia, with the following research questions: (1) Are blood levels of lactate and glucose different between hypoxia and normoxia? (2) Does hypoxia induce higher lactate accumulation and pH reduction in the human skeletal muscle? (3) Is there a relationship between plasma-, blood- and muscle lactate? Method Eight healthy males (30 ± 2 years) performed 6 sets of unilateral leg extension on each leg (75% of 1RM) with randomized normoxic (20,9% inspired 𝑂2) and normobaric hypoxic (12% inspired 𝑂2) conditions. A total of 5 muscle biopsies was extracted from m. READ MORE

3. Physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during resistance exercise
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapAbstract : Previous studies that utilized sodium lactate infusion did not use resistance exercise protocol or analyzed muscle biopsies, or performed sex specific analysis. Aim: We initiated a project where resistance exercise was performed with low and high levels of lactate, acquired by venous lactate infusion where the specific aim of this study was to investigate and chart the physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during a bout of resistance exercise on whole group level and sexes separated Method: A randomized, placebo controlled, cross-over design was implemented where male (n = 8) and female (n = 8) subjects accustomed to resistance exercise visited the laboratory three times for preliminary testing and training familiarization.

4. Do different levels of lactate have an impact on mTORC1-signal and protein synthesis induced by resistance exercise?
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapAbstract : Aim: To investigate the role of lactate as a potential signaling molecule, for the molecular mechanisms underlying acute resistance exercise adaptation in the muscle cell. Method: Four women and four men recruited to perform two trials of unilateral leg extension exercise performed with either an infusion of sodium lactate or isotonic saline (placebo), in a randomized, blinded, crossover fashion.

5. Lower Limb Muscle Synergy During Daily Life Activities : A Way to Convey Intended Motions To a Robotic Assistive Device.
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Powered exoskeletons can assist patients suffering from motor dysfunctions. Recent researches are focused on how to improve the communication system between patient and device. Further research is needed in order to design an EMG based robotic assistive device able to convey intended motions to the patient. READ MORE
