The article reviews the biomechanical factors that may cause overweight/obese children to
reduce their level of physical activity, while increasing their risk of overuse injuries and …

Understanding the distinct functions of human muscles could not only help professionals
obtain insights into the underlying mechanisms that we accommodate compromised …

Diet-induced weight loss is often limited in its magnitude and often of short duration,
followed by weight regain. On the contrary, bariatric surgery now commonly used in the …

Obesity is defined as a body mass index> 30 kg/m2 and is a major health burden in many
parts of the world (Finucane et al., 2011). The incidence of worldwide obesity is escalating at …

Child and adolescent obesity is growing at a staggering rate. Associated potential health
risks have been acknowledged in the adult population, and similar concerns have been …

The potential impact of a specific physical activity program on biomechanical gait
parameters and neuromuscular strategies around the ankle joint in older adults with …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effects of short‐term hypoxic versus
normoxic training at preferred walking speed (PWS) on energetics, mechanics, efficiency …

We examined the hypothesis that metabolic surgery-induced massive weight loss causes
mass-driven and behavioral adaptations in the kinematics and kinetics of obese gait. Gait …

Background The description of the three-dimensional (3D) trajectory of the body center of
mass (BCoM) provides useful insights on the mechanics of locomotion. The BCoM trajectory …

Objective Excess weight is a known risk factor for functional limitation and common in adults
with knee osteoarthritis (OA). We asked to what extent high waist circumference was linked …
