Happy to share our latest work from St Marys Centre for Applied Performance Sciences is published!

We assessed various acute responses to low-load BFR exercise vs high-load, free-flow exercise. Lots of findings relating to hypoalgesia, neuromuscular fatigue and corticospinal pathway.

Cool new study by Hélio Cabral et al.,

Exp. pain calibrated to torque generation (greater torque, greater pain) decreased maximal voluntary torque to a greater extent (17%) than tonic pain (11%), demonstrating the psychophys of pain and motor function.

Another nice study just published by the Calgary group (Jenny Zhang + Saied Jalal Aboodarda et al.) showing that contralateral pain reduces exercise tolerance and exacerbates perceived effort, but without altering neurophysiological responses during exercise!

Tramadol ingestion (a potent analgesic) improves cycling time-trial performance in well-trained cyclists.

Open access too!
