Emerging evidence published over the past decade has highlighted the role of DNA methylation in skeletal muscle function and health, including as an epigenetic transducer of the adaptive response to exercise. In this review, we aim to synthesize …
Defined as sporting activities lasting > 6 h [ 1 ], ultra-endurance events have become increasingly popular. Many athletes compete in races lasting several days, throughout which taking breaks or naps is left to the athlete’s discretion and can …
The time of return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a commonly discussed topic within clinical settings and the sports medicine literature. Emerging science has demonstrated protective effects of delaying the …
