Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between local tissue temperature, peak torque and time to fatigue during isometric knee extensions. Nine males performed maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) and isometric knee extensions at 70% MVC to exhaustion after 30 min of hot [H, 47.7 (1.3)°C; mean (SD)], warm [W, 34.6 (0.4)°C], temperate [T, 24.5 (1.3)°C], and cold [C, −11.9 (1.8)°C] localized temperature applications. Isometric peak torque was not significantly affected by temperature. Time to fatigue was strongly and negatively correlated (r=−0.98) to temperature, with endurance after H [46.99 (4.98) s] and W [54.36 (9.18) s] significantly shorter than after C [73.27 (13.43) s]. We conclude that local tissue temperature does not impair peak force production but may change muscular endurance through local factors.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
