    • Effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on metabolic rate during rest and exercise in human: A systematic review and a meta-analysisPeer reviewedClosed access 

      16 janvier 2016, Pawlak-Chaouch, Mehdi; Boissière, Julien; Gamelin, François X.; CUVELIER, Etienne; Berthoin, Serge; Aucouturier, Julien, HE Condorcet
      Article scientifique
      Background Recent randomized controlled trials have suggested that dietary nitrate (NO3-), found in beetroot and other vegetables, and inorganic NO3− salts decrease metabolic rate under resting and exercise conditions. Objective Our aim was therefore to determine from a systematic review and meta-analysis whether dietary NO3− supplementation significantly reduces metabolic rate, expressed as ...

    • Effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on tolerance to supramaximal intensity intermittent exercisePeer reviewedClosed access 

      29 mai 2015, Aucouturier, Julien; Boissière, Julien; Pawlak-Chaouch, Mehdi; CUVELIER, Etienne; Gamelin, François-Xavier, HE Condorcet
      Article scientifique
      Dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation has been shown to increase exercise tolerance and improve oxidative efficiency during aerobic exercise in healthy subjects. We tested the hypothesis that a 3-day supplementation in beetroot juice (BJ) rich in NO3− would improve the tolerance to supramaximal intensity intermittent exercise consisting of 15-s exercise periods at 170% of the maximal aerobic power ...

    • One-week cocoa flavanol intake increases prefrontal cortex oxygenation at rest and during moderate-intensity exercise in normoxia and hypoxiaPeer reviewedOpen access 

      12 juillet 2018, Decroix, Lieselot; Tonoli, Cajsa; Lespagnol, Elodie; BALESTRA, Costantinoorcid-id; Descat, Amandine; Drittij-Reijnders, Marie José; Blackwell, Jamie; Stahl, Wilhelm; Jones, Andrew; Wesseler, Antje; Bast, Aalt; Meeusen, Romain; Heyman, Elsa, HE Bruxelles Brabant
      Article scientifique
      During exercise in hypoxia, O2 delivery to brain and muscle is compromised, and oxidative stress is elicited. Cocoa flavanols (CF) have antioxidant capacities and can increase blood flow by stimulating endothelial function. We aimed to examine the effects of 7-day CF intake on oxidative stress, nitric oxide production, and tissue oxygenation in response to exercise in normobaric hypoxia (14.3% O2). ...

    • Quasi‑experimental pilot study to improve mobility and balance in recurrently falling nursing home residents by voluntary non‑targeted side‑stepping exercise interventionPeer reviewedOpen access 

      30 décembre 2022, DIERICK, Frédéric; Bouché, Anne-France; Guérin, Serge; Steinmetz, Jean-Paul; Federspiel, Carine; Barvaux, Vincent; BUISSERET, Fabien, HE Louvain en Hainaut
      Article scientifique
      Background: Side-stepping is a potential exercise program to reduce fall risk in community-dwelling adults in their seventies, but it has never been tested in nursing home residents. This was a pilot quasi-experimental study to examine the feasibility and potential mobility and balance benefits of an intervention based on voluntary non-targeted side-stepping exercises in nursing home residents ...

    • Spirometry and oxidative stress after rebreather diving in warm waterPeer reviewedClosed access 

      05 août 2018, Bosco, Gerardo; Quartesan, Silvia; Mrakic-Sposta, Simona; Moretti, Sarah; BALESTRA, Costantinoorcid-id; Rubini, Alessandro, HE Bruxelles Brabant
      Article scientifique
      Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy and use of enriched air can result in oxidative injury affecting the brain, lungs and eyes. HBO(2) exposure during diving can lead to a decrease in respiratory parameters. However, the possible effects of acute exposure to oxygen-enriched diving on subsequent spirometric performance and oxidative state in humans have not been recently described recently. ...
