Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of plyometric jump training (PJT) on lower-
limb stiffness. Methods Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science …

The purposes of this study were to compare Young's modulus values determined by shear
wave ultrasound elastography (SWUE) with stiffness index obtained using a hand-held …

Myotonometry is a relatively novel method used to quantify the biomechanical and
viscoelastic properties (stiffness, compliance, tone, elasticity, creep, mechanical relaxation) …

Objective The main aim of this study was to establish the relationship between strength,
power characteristics, individual muscle stiffness, international tennis number (ITN), and …

Objectives In this study, we investigated daily fluctuations in molecular (gene expression)
and physiological (biomechanical muscle properties) features in human peripheral cells and …

Background The continued practice of a sport linked to the unilateral predominance of the
dominant side can provoke chronic asymmetric adaptations in the myotendinous structure …

We aimed to examine the relationship among the muscle shear modulus at rest, maximal
joint torque, and rate of torque development (RTD). Twenty-seven participants (28±5 years …

Change of direction (COD) ability is an important performance factor in many field and court
sports. A common COD maneuver is the 180-degree turn, which is commonly assessed …

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the reliability of the myotonometer in
the mechanical properties of the forearm muscles [m. extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) …

When improving athletic performance in sports with high-speed strength demands such as
soccer, basketball, or track and field, the most common training method might be resistance …
