1.
Brauer E, Smekal G
Int J Sports Med . 2020 May; 41(9):574-581. PMID: 32353881
Over recent decades the association between metabolic and gas exchange parameters during exercise has become evident. Different "thresholds" (such as lactate thresholds, critical power, EMG thresholds) and intensity domains appear...

Zeitler C, Fritz R, Smekal G, Ekmekcioglu C
Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2018 Dec; 15(12). PMID: 30513927
Molecular and clinical studies have linked vitamin D (vitD) deficiency to several aspects of muscle performance. For this retrospective cross-sectional study data from 297 male (M) and 284 female (F)...

Smekal G, von Duvillard S, Hormandinger M, Moll R, Heller M, Pokan R, et al.
J Sports Sci Med . 2015 Dec; 14(4):799-810. PMID: 26664277
The purpose of the study was to measure the demands of off-road cycling via portable spirometry, leg-power output (PO), heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (BLa) concentration. Twenty-four male competitive...

Smekal G, von Duvillard S, Pokan R, Hofmann P, Braun W, Arciero P, et al.
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2011 Dec; 112(8):3079-86. PMID: 22194004
The aim of the study was to investigate the independent relationship between maximal lactate steady state (MLSS), blood lactate concentration [La] and exercise performance as reported frequently. Sixty-two subjects with...

Kacerovsky-Bielesz G, Kacerovsky M, Chmelik M, Farukuoye M, Ling C, Pokan R, et al.
Diabetes Care . 2011 Dec; 35(2):350-7. PMID: 22190678
Objective: Myocellular ATP synthesis (fATP) associates with insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Short-term endurance training can modify their fATP and insulin sensitivity. This study...

Kacerovsky-Bielesz G, Chmelik M, Ling C, Pokan R, Szendroedi J, Farukuoye M, et al.
Diabetes . 2009 Mar; 58(6):1333-41. PMID: 19265027
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that short-term exercise training improves hereditary insulin resistance by stimulating ATP synthesis and investigated associations with gene polymorphisms. Research Design And Methods: We studied 24...

Szendroedi J, Schmid A, Meyerspeer M, Cervin C, Kacerovsky M, Smekal G, et al.
Diabetes Care . 2009 Jan; 32(4):677-9. PMID: 19131470
Objective: Impaired muscular mitochondrial function is related to common insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Mitochondrial diseases frequently lead to diabetes, which is mostly attributed to defective beta-cell mitochondria and...

Szendroedi J, Zwettler E, Schmid A, Chmelik M, Pacini G, Kacerovsky G, et al.
PLoS One . 2008 Dec; 3(12):e3958. PMID: 19093000
Background: Impaired mitochondrial function and ectopic lipid deposition in skeletal muscle and liver have been linked to decreased insulin sensitivity. As growth hormone (GH) excess can reduce insulin sensitivity, we...

Smekal G, von Duvillard S, Frigo P, Tegelhofer T, Pokan R, Hofmann P, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2007 Jun; 39(7):1098-106. PMID: 17596777
Purpose: Numerous investigations have reported changes in metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses associated with the menstrual cycle. We examined whether variables commonly used in exercise testing are influenced by menstrual cycle...

Hofmann P, Wonisch M, Pokan R, Schwaberger G, Smekal G, von Duvillard S
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2005 Nov; 37(10):1704-9. PMID: 16260969
Purpose: The deflection of the HR performance curve (HRPC) has been described as an objective marker of submaximal exercise performance. HR response to incremental cycle ergometer exercise is shown to...
