Always excited to contribute to the Master in exercise physiology and exercise performance @unipv and meet new friends and colleagues @peter__leo.
Thanks @PorcelliSimone and @ProfCBuzzachera for the invitation 😊 – at Pavia, Lombardy

We are officially accepting abstracts for the 2026 mNIRS Conference! Join us in Pavia (Italy) to discuss about muscle physiology in one of the world's oldest academic hubs.
mnirs2026.org/abstract Show the world what you've been working on. We can't wait to see you

Thanks @APSEEPSection for dedicating time to remember Prof. Cerretelli, an outstanding Italian physiologist and unique mentor. A real touching moment!

Bruno Grassi et al. (@uniud) discuss how commuting by bicycle (vs. by car) is associated with improved aerobic power, microvascular function and diminished CO2 output in the atmosphere

Pairing with the article from Macefield et al., this #Viewpoint from Benjamin S. Stacey (@USW_Oxygen) and @GManferdelli (@IEEMPHD) discusses the use of cardiac vagal activity in determining apnoea tolerance in trained breath-hold divers.

Ignoble Gas: The Questionable Role of Xenon in Rapid Ascents of Mount Everest

The claim: xenon helps
- pre-acclimate you to altitude via HIFs that trigger EPO production
- protect you from altitude illness
- protect your brain from hypoxic injury
A new review in the journal High Altitude Medicine and Biology weighs the evidence...

New article by @GManferdelli 🙏
This study investigated the mechanisms of exercise limitation across the oxygen transport chain in preterm born adults with normal resting cardiopulmonary function but exertional dyspnea.

Earlier this year, Xenon was described by media as the missing piece to climb Everest faster and safer......Scientific evidence suggests it is not❌

🏔️ Bottom line: Xenon on Everest is a case study in media hype outpacing science.
Intriguing mechanism, but not clinically relevant here.

New paper out investigating the O2 cascade in preterm adults during maximal exercise! 📢 Is it more a central or a peripheral limitation? Read more here....

How they did it:
⛺️Hypoxic tents: spent 8 wks preacclimatizing by sleeping in normobaric hypoxia (simulated 6,000–7,000m)
🤿High-flow O₂: continuous flows up to 8 L/min, even during sleep!
6 L/min at summit = effective altitude ~2,100m!
👉O₂ not Xe made the climb feasible

🏔️Earlier this year, British climbers set record by climbing Mt Everest in less than a week.
📰 The media attributed their performance to the use of inhaled Xenon gas.
📄Not so fast! Excellent new paper about xenon the ignoble gas debunks this claim & posits an alternative!
