• Dose of Bicarbonate to Maintain Plasma pH During Maximal Ergometer Rowing and Consequence for Plasma Volume 

      Nielsen, Henning Bay; Volianitis, Stefanos; Secher, Niels H. ( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article)
      Rowing performance may be enhanced by attenuated metabolic acidosis following bicarbonate (BIC) supplementation. This study evaluated the dose of BIC needed to eliminate the decrease in plasma pH during maximal ergometer ...

      Volianitis, Stefanos; Koutedakis, Yiannis; Secher, Niels H. ( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Other)
      Almost 100 years ago, it was considered that “the rowing of a crew in a racing shell with sliding seats is a form of exercise in which a greater total energy expenditure is attainable, for periods of five to 20 min, than ...
    • The Effect of Hyperoxia on Central and Peripheral Factors of Arm Flexor Muscles Fatigue Following Maximal Ergometer Rowing in Men 

      Volianitis, Stefanos; Rasmussen, Peter; Petersen, Nicolas C.; Secher, Niels H. ( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article)
      Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of hyperoxia on cerebral oxygenation and neuromuscular fatigue mechanisms of the elbow flexor muscles following ergometer rowing. Methods: In 11 competitive male rowers (age, 30 ± ...
    • Fluctuations in cardiac stroke volume during rowing 

      Sejersen, Casper; Fischer, Mads; Mattos, João D.; Volianitis, Stefanos; Secher, Niels H. ( Blackwell Munksgaard , 2021 , Article)
      Preload to the heart may be limited during rowing because both blood pressure and central venous pressure increase when force is applied to the oar. Considering that only the recovery phase of the rowing stroke allows for ...
