Effect of knee joint effusion on quadriceps and soleus motorneuron excitability
Article Abstract:
This article examines changes in motorneuron pool activity in the quadriceps and soleus due to artificially-induced knee joint effusion during a four hour period. Muscle reflex response values measured by surface electromyography indicate that knee joint effusion inhibited reflexes in the quadriceps while facilitating reflexes in the soleus.

VO2 slow component: to model or not to model?
Article Abstract:
This article compares techniques used to measure the amplitude of the slow component in oxygen uptake kinetics, using male cyclists as subjects. Results showed that all methods provided significant underestimates when compared with actual amplitudes.
