The effect of a passive stretch training protocol on performance during a drop jump in humans
30 mars 2013, Levenez, Morgan; ; Bottero, Antoine; ; Tinlot, Arnaud; BALESTRA, Costantino
; Provyn, Steven, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueOur study's aim is to show how a five-week stretch training protocol, based on passive stretching, can change muscle performance during a drop jump (stretch shortening cycle). METHODS: This study observes in 8 healthy subjects (four males and four females), the effect of a 5-week passive stretch training protocol on the stretch shortening cycle (SSC) during the performance of a drop jump, and identify ... -

Erythropoietin production can be enhanced by normobaric oxygen breathing in healthy humans
2004, BALESTRA, Costantino; ; Poortmans, J.; Marroni, A.; Schiettecatte, J.; Collard, J.-F.; , HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueErythropoietin (EPO) induces red blood cell production by activating red bone marrow progenitor cells, and is used therapeutically in chronic anemia. It is also used as an unauthorized adjunct to increase the oxygen transport capacity in the blood of athletes. Renal tissue hypoxia is the only widely accepted trigger for EPO production (1-3), even if new oxygen-sensitive sites have been recently ... -
The fractal approach as a tool to understand asymptomatic brain hyperintense MRI signals
2004, BALESTRA, Costantino; Marroni, A.; Farkas, B.; Peetrons, P.; Vanderschueren, F.; Duboc, E.; ; , HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueThe prevalence of a Patent Foramen Ovale is described in merely 30% of the asymptomatic population. This patency has been shown to be an increasing risk factor for paradoxical cerebral embolization. Some desaturation or decompression situations in human activities such as scuba diving or altitude flight are prone to provoke embolisations. The association with the presence of a patent Foramen Ovale ... -
Normobaric oxygen can enhance protein captation by the lymphatic system in healthy humans.
janvier 2004, BALESTRA, Costantino; ; ; Ezquer M; ; Leduc A; Willeput F; Marroni A; Cali Corleo R; Vann R, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiquehas been advocated for a long time. Several beneficial effects of NBO have been demonstrated, one of which is the faster elimination of tissue nitrogen bubbles. During DCS occurrence, a cascade of intravascular reactions has been demonstrated. These inflammatory reactions occur within minutes of the onset of DCS, and involve the precipitation of proteins on the gas-bubble interface, causing a ... -
The 'normobaric oxygen paradox': does it increase haemoglobin?
14 juin 2012, De Bels, David; ; Devriendt, Jacques; ; Lafère, Pierre; Valsamis, Joseph; ; Meeus, Philippe; BALESTRA, Costantino, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueBackground: A novel approach to increasing erythropoietin (EPO) using oxygen (O2) (the 'normobaric oxygen paradox') has been reported in healthy volunteers. We investigated whether the EPO increase is sufficient to induce erythropoiesis by comparing two protocols of O2 administration. Methods: We compared the effect of daily versus alternate days 100% O2, breathed for 30 minutes, on haemoglobin ... -
A red orange extract modulates the vascular response to a recreational dive: a pilot study on the effect of anthocyanins on the physiological consequences of scuba diving
07 novembre 2015, BALESTRA, Costantino; Cimino, Francesco; ; ; Provyn, Steven; Canali, Raffaella; Bonina, Andrea; Virgili, Fabio, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueNutritional antioxidants have been proposed as an expedient strategy to counter the potentially deleterious effects of scuba diving on endothelial function, flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and heart function. Sixteen volunteers performing a single standard dive (20 min at 33 m) according to US Navy diving procedures were randomly assigned to two groups: one was administered with two doses of 200 mg of ... -
Scuba diving can induce stress of the temporomandibular joint leading to headache [1]
Article scientifiqueIn ordinary recreational scuba diving, many anatomical parts can be involved in disorders of cranial regions: ears and eyes are involved but also sinuses. Dental problems are generally involved in barotraumas because of bad dental fillings or other matters of interest to the general dental practitioner.1 Very few papers have looked at the articular and periarticular problems of the temporomandibular joint ...
