AI Article Synopsis

  • This study explores the effects of Globin digest (GD) on physical fatigue, revealing that it may help combat fatigue caused by forced exercise.
  • Administering GD and its components, valine and others, for five days improved locomotion in mice and lowered blood lactate levels.
  • The findings suggest that GD's anti-fatigue effects could be linked to the activation of a protein called AMPK in muscle, which helps manage energy and fatigue responses.

Article Abstract

Globin digest (GD) inhibits dietary hypertriglyceridemia; however, its effects on physical fatigue remain unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential anti-fatigue effects of GD. Repeated administration of GD and valine (Val)-Val-tyrosine (Tyr)-proline (Pro), a component of GD, for five days prevented the forced walking-induced decrease in locomotion. Furthermore, GD treatment reversed the forced walking-induced increase in blood lactate levels in mice and increased phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) in the soleus muscle, suggesting that the anti-fatigue effect of GD involves AMPK activation in the soleus muscle through reduced blood lactate.

Enhancing Biophysical Muscle Fatigue Model in the Dynamic Context of Soccer.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka, Vukovarska 58, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia.

In the field of muscle fatigue models (MFMs), the prior research has demonstrated success in fitting data in specific contexts, but it falls short in addressing the diverse efforts and rapid changes in exertion typical of soccer matches. This study builds upon the existing model, aiming to enhance its applicability and robustness to dynamic demand shifts. The objective is to encapsulate the complexities of soccer dynamics with a streamlined set of parameters.

Swimmer's shoulder is a common condition among elite swimmers, often leading to pain and reduced performance. Fatigue can exacerbate this condition by affecting shoulder strength, proprioception, and range of motion, potentially increasing the risk of overuse injuries. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the impact of physiotherapy treatment and the effects of fatigue on shoulder kinematics using inertial and magnetic measurement units (IMUs).
