Aerobic influence on neuromuscular function and tolerance during passive hyperthermia
Article Abstract:
The role of aerobic fitness on central neuromuscular activation and maximal voluntary contractile force during hyperthermia is examined. Findings suggest that low aerobic fitness and activity level are associated with a decreased tolerance to passive hyperthermia, but at high body temperatures, maximum force production and voluntary activation are impaired to an equal level regardless of training status.

Relationship between subcutaneous fatness and leptin in male athletes
Article Abstract:
A study of resistance-trained and endurance-trained athletes was done to see if there was a relationship between the amount of subcutaneous fat tissue and the circulating leptin in the body. Test showed that fat-free mass was related to leptin in endurance-trained athletes but not in resistance trained athletes.
