Different dry-wet pulses favor different functional strategies: A test using tropical dry forest tree species. by Flor Vega-Ramos, Lucas Cifuentes, Fernando Pineda-García, Todd Dawson, Horacio Paz

“…In many terrestrial habitats, plants experience temporal heterogeneity in water availability both at the intra and inter annual scales, creating dry-wet pulse scenarios. This variability imposes two concomitant challenges for plants: surviving droughts and efficiently utilizing water when it becomes available, whose responses are closely interconnected. …”

Different whole body HIIT protocols do not promote different muscle thickness and functional adaptations among healthy physically active subjects by Alexandre L. Evangelista, Júlio B. B. de Camargo, Roberta L. Rica, Luiz Carlos Carnevali Júnior, Gregg S. Mallett, Valentina Bullo, Marco Bergamin, Stefano Gobbo, Danilo S. Bocalini

“…Morphological (ultrasound-derived muscle thickness of the vastus lateralis [MTVL]) and general fitness (muscle endurance and maximal oxygen consumption) assessments were performed at pre- and post-intervention moments.ResultsBoth training protocols elicited significant improvements in all dependent variables (p &lt; 0.05), with no significant between-group differences.ConclusionRegardless of the training configuration, both WB-HIIT programs serve as time-efficient strategies to induce changes in muscle thickness of the vastus lateralis and functional adaptations in healthy, physically active young individuals.…”
