The standard fitness-fatigue model (FFM) is known to include several limitations described by the linearity assumption, the independence assumption and the deterministic assumption. These limitations ensure that the modelled response to chronic train...

Introduction: Placebos are used as a control treatment that is meant to be indistinguishable from the active intervention. However, where substantive placebo effects may occur, studies that do not include a non-placebo control arm may underestimate t...

Sodium bicarbonate (SB) is considered an effective ergogenic supplement for improving high-intensity exercise capacity and performance, although recent data suggests that women may be less amenable to its ergogenic effects than men. Currently, an app... Read More about Sodium bicarbonate supplementation and the female athlete: a brief commentary with small scale systematic review and meta-analysis..
