Background Cutting actions are associated with non-contact ACL injuries in multidirectional
sports due to the propensity to generate large multiplanar knee joint loads (KJLs) that have …

The human ankle joint and plantar flexor muscle–tendon unit play an important role in
endurance running. It has been assumed that muscle and tendon interactions and their …

Simple Summary The Achilles tendon influences the running economy because of its ability
to store and release strain energy, and it remains one of the most vulnerable tendons among …

Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of 12-week gait retraining (GR) on plantar
flexion torque, architecture, and behavior of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) during maximal …

This paper presents the design, development, and validation of a novel e-textile leg sleeve
for non-invasive Surface Electromyography (sEMG) monitoring. This wearable device …

Purpose This study investigated the effects of a 12‐week gait retraining program on the
morphological and mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon (AT) during running on the …

Recent studies have suggested that 95% of modern runners land with a rearfoot strike (RFS)
pattern. However, we hypothesize that running with an RFS pattern is indicative of an …

Achilles tendon (AT) mechanical properties can be estimated using an inverse dynamic
approach, taking into account the tendon internal moment arm (IMA) and its kinematic …

Eccentric and concentric actions produce distinct mechanical stimuli and result in different
adaptations in skeletal muscle architecture. Cycling predominantly involves concentric …

Sustained voluntary muscle contractions can lead to fatigue, which diminishes the muscle's
ability to absorb energy and produce force at a desired level. Prolonged fatigue can lead to …
