Low-load blood flow restriction reduces time-to-minimum single motor unit discharge rate.

Resistance training with low loads in combination with blood flow restriction (BFR) facilitates increases in muscle size and strength comparable with high-intensity exercise. We investigated the effects of BFR on single motor unit discharge behavior throughout a sustained low-intensity isometric contraction. Ten healthy individuals attended two experimental sessions: one with, the other without, BFR.

Task differences confound sex differences in receiver permissiveness in túngara frogs.

In many mating systems, both sexes respond to the same sexual signal. In frogs, males typically call in response to advertisement calls, while females approach male calls in choosing a mate. The costs of signal detection errors are expected to differ between the sexes.
