      Intense, long exercise can increase oxidative stress, leading to higher levels of inflammatory mediators and muscle damage. At the same time, fatigue has been suggested as one of the factors giving rise to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a specific electrical stimulation (ES) treatment (without elicited muscular contraction) on two ...

      The goal of this study was to evaluate inflammatory and oxidative stress responses in human subjects (9 females and 15 males) (age [29.6 +/- 11.5 years old (mean +/- SD)], height [172.0 +/- 10.05 cm], and weight [67.8 +/- 12.4 kg]) exposed to 1.45 ATA of helium (He) or nitrogen (N(2)) without concurrent hyperoxia. We hypothesized that elevated gas pressures would elicit an inflammatory response ...

      Article scientifique
      Underwater activities are characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) and antioxidant mechanisms, which can be associated with an inflammatory response, depending on O(2) availability. This review explores the oxidative stress mechanisms and related inflammation status (Oxy-Inflammation) in underwater activities such as breath-hold (BH) diving, Self-Contained ...
