Continuous thermoregulatory responses to mass-participation distance running in heat
Article Abstract:
A study aims to continuously measure core temperature, T(sub c), and heart rate (HR), and quantify fluid balance during a 21-kilometer mass-participation road race in warm, humid environmental conditions. The successful use of ingestible telemetric temperature sensors highlights the magnitude and duration of T(sub c) elevation that runners would voluntarily achieve during mass-participation distance races in heat and high humidity without medical consequence.

Exercise and training in mitochondrial myopathies
Article Abstract:
The relevance and importance of exercise is studied in the complex field of mitochondrial disease. The result suggests that resistance exercise training offers a theraputical approach in patients with sporadic mitochondrial DNA mutation as exercise -induced transfer of normal mitochondrial DNA template from muscle satellite cells to mature myofibers lowers mutation load.
