The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a single meal-like amount of protein with or without fat on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy elderly men. Furthermore, as a secondary objective, we will assess…
To analyse the accuracy of the positioning of the catheter that is used for pressure measurement deep flexor muscles of the lower leg using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal-like amount of dietary protein prior to sleep on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy young and elderly men, following exercise, during the night. Furthermore, as…
The main objective of this study is to compare DTI findings of PPS patients with those of healthy controls. Secondary objective of this study is to correlate DTI findings with clinical data such as isometric muscle strength. Third objective is to…
The aim of this study is to investigate the overnight effect of a single bout of NMES on muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy elderly males.
To investigate the cross-cultural validity of the Dutch version of the following questionnaires that identify the adolescent*s level of functioning with chronic pain:1. Child Activity Limitations Interview (CALI) 2. Bath Adolescent Pain…
In this study two treatment groups will be compared: ACP injection in combination with exercise therapy and placebo injection in combination with exercise therapy.
To investigate whether elderly individuals lose muscle mass at a greater rate than young individuals during 5 days of one legged knee immobilization, and whether dietary protein supplementation can alleviate such muscle loss in the elderly.
I. To evaluate what the impact is of posterior scoliosis correction on respiratory muscle function (strength, endurance, power and work of breathing).II. To evaluate the relation of changes in respiratory muscle function, due to the posterior…
To investigate the effects of a high protein diet vs. standard protein diet for 12 weeks on preservation of muscle mass during caloric restriction in overweight and obese middle-aged to elderly people.
The aim of this study is to develop an immortalised B-cell line derived from MG patients. This antibody producing cell line will be used for different applications:- The establishment of new passive transfer disease models for MG- The identification…
1. Is a home-based peripheral muscle training program (5BX) more effective in (a) increasing peak work rate and (b) patients* preferred occupational performance in patients with CF who are preconditioned by IMT?2. Which variables are indicators of…
(A) Determine the influence of anger and frustration on self-reported bruxism.(B) Validation of a new ambulant electromyographic (EMG) diagnostic device for bruxism (TeleBrux).(C) Determine the additional value of peripheral modulation with…
STUDY 1: To investigate the impact of prior ingestion of a single high protein meal on the normal obligatory increase of muscle protein synthesis rates after protein intake and physical activity in healthy young men. STUDY 2: To investigate the…
1. What is the somatosensory profile of DM2 patients?2. What are the similarities and differences between the somatosensory profile of pain in myotonic dystrophy type 2 and fibromyalgia patients?
To gain a more complete scientific understanding, it is necessary to examine whether an adaptation does in fact occur after habitual high or low amounts of protein intake with regard to the anabolic response to subsequent protein intake. In the…
Do athletes with hamstring injuries have different intermuscular coordination of the lower limb when compared to the intermuscular coordination of the lower limb of athletes without hamstring injury during maximal vertical jumping? Also, is the…
The aims of this study are to observe the effectiveness of oral vitamin D supplementation on vitamin D status and muscle performance in vitamin D-deficient alcoholics during two different vitamin D treatment strategies (VIDIO and CAU).
The objective of this study is to develop a resistance training intervention that improves mobility and quality of life in diabetic patients. It is also our intension to achieve a better understanding of the relation between diabetic neuropathy and…
