Recovery from maximal sprint exercise in Humans

This meticulous and careful research was carried out by Christina Karatzaferi as part of her PhD working under the supervision of Professor Anthony J Sargeant. The results confirm and validate previous published work and speculation by Tony Sargeant in 1987 (published in the Journal of Applied Physiology) showing the time course of the recovery of high energy phosphate levels in human muscle…

Calculating the efficiency of human muscle depends on knowing the Total Power generated in exercise

In order to calculate mechanical efficiency during human exercise the total power generated needs to be known. That is the external power delivered to some ergometer plus the internal power required to move the limb. This research carried out in Copenhagen in collaboration with Jens Bangsbo and Per Aagaard addresses this problem. The research publication formed part of the PhD thesis of Richard…
