This study aimed to investigate the effects of sustained hypoxic exposure on cerebral and muscle oxygenation and cardiorespiratory function at rest. Eleven healthy subjects inhaled a normobaric hypoxic (FiO2=0.12) or normoxic (FiO2=0.

Objectives: To estimate the HRV parameters obtained using a heart rate recording, according to different exercise impacts, and to make the link with the appearance of subjective fatigue.
Methods: Ten senior runners, aged 51±5 years, were each monitored over a period of 12 weeks in different conditions: (i) after a resting period, (ii) after a day with training, (iii) after a day of competition and (iv) after a rest day.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the relationship between alcohol consumption and victimization in a sample of 1,033 French women aged 18-74 years.
- The research found that victims of aggression reported higher rates of binge drinking, higher aggression traits, and more social hardships compared to those who were not victims.
- The study used a logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of aggression-related injuries, but acknowledged certain limitations in its methodology.
Oxidative stress and metabolism at rest and during exercise in persons with Down syndrome.
Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil
February 2008
Background: Down syndrome (DS) is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. The greater oxidative stress described in DS can increase this risk owing to its potential deleterious effects on insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that metabolic syndrome or its markers, at rest and during exercise, are more pronounced in young adults with DS.
