Training for endurance and strength: Lessons from cell signaling
Article Abstract:
Hickson's work demonstrates that training for both strength and endurance at the same time results in less adaptation compared with training for either one alone which is described as the concurrent training effect. Resistance exercise results in an increase in muscle mass, and endurance exercise results in an increase in muscle capillary density, mitochondrial protein, fatty acid-oxidation enzymes, and more metabolically efficient forms of contractile and regulatory proteins.

Voluntary muscle function after creatine supplementation in accute hypobaric hypoxia
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether creatine (Cr) supplementation improved muscle performance under hypobaric hypoxic conditions. From the result obtained it is concluded that short-term Cr supplementation offers little benefit for enhancing muscle performance during intermittent static-contraction exercise under either normoxic or hypobaric hypoxic conditions.

Prevention of cold injuries during exercise
Article Abstract:
The American College of Sports Medicine is in a position to perform exercise safely in most cold-weather environments without incurring cold-weather injuries. It uses comprehensive risk management strategy, which identifies the cold hazard, develops controls to mitigate cold stress and implements controls into formal plans to prevent the cold-weather injuries.
