There have been a multitude of reviews written on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
and recovery. EIMD is a complex area of study as there are a host of factors such as sex …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the dominant 3D imaging modality to
quantify muscle properties in skeletal muscle disorders, in inherited and acquired muscle …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress towards therapy of many previously incurable
neuromuscular diseases. This new context has acted as a driving force for the development …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is increasingly applied to study skeletal muscle physiology,
anatomy, and pathology. The reason for this growing interest is that DTI offers unique …

In sports-related muscle injuries, the main goal of the sports medicine physician is to return
the athlete to competition—balanced against the need to prevent the injury from worsening …

The size and arrangement of fibres play a determinate role in the kinetic and energetic
performance of muscles. Extrapolations between fibre architecture and performance …

Background: Despite relatively high reinjury rates after acute hamstring injuries, there is a
lack of detailed knowledge about where and when hamstring reinjuries occur, and studies …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a popular method to assess differences in fiber
organization in diseased and healthy muscle tissue. Previous work has shown that muscle …

The mechanical functions of muscles involve the generation of force and the actuation of
movement by shortening or lengthening under load. These functions are influenced, in part …

MRI examinations are accurate for diagnosing sports‐related acute hamstring injuries.
However, sensitive imaging methods for assessing recovery of these injuries are lacking …
