Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions.
People with LBP often display changes of neuromuscular control and trunk mechanical …

Developing methods for the non-invasive characterization of the mechanics of
musculoskeletal tissues is an ongoing research focus in biomechanics. Often, these …

The purpose of the present study was to examine the acute effects of a maximum repeated
sprint protocol on (1) hamstring shear modulus and (2) knee flexor neuromuscular …

We investigated the in vivo effects of voluntary fatiguing isometric contractions of the knee
extensor muscles on the viscoelastic properties of the vastus lateralis (VL). Twelve young …

This study examined whether a knee flexor isometric contraction at 20% of maximal
voluntary isometric contraction until exhaustion would alter the biceps femoris long head …

Background: The effect of 10× 30 m repeated sprints on passive and active stiffness of
semitendinosus (ST) and biceps femoris long head (BFlh), and knee flexor maximal …

This study examined the effects of fatigue on hamstring muscles and gluteus maximus
passive and active shear modulus in hip extension (HE) and knee flexion (KF) at 20% of …

Objective This study aimed:(i) to investigate the impact of fatigue, triggered by maximal
isometric contraction exercises, on the active and passive stiffness of plantar flexors (PF) …

Skeletal muscle shear elastic modulus is a non-invasive surrogate for early detection of
muscle damage and soreness consequent to unaccustomed eccentric muscle work. We …

Purpose Spinal flexion exposure (SFE) leads to alterations in neuromuscular and
mechanical properties of the trunk. While several studies reported changes in intrinsic trunk …
