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 this study was to investigate differences in passive muscular stiffness
between the superficial multifidus (SM) and deep multifidus (DM), and to compare their …

Deficits in the flexibility of the quadriceps are one of the risk factors for developing knee joint
disorders. No studies have investigated the changes in the stiffness of the quadriceps …

Introduction: Low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) has emerged
as a viable alternative to conventional high-load (HL) resistance training regimens. Despite …

Despite the increase in research of hamstring stiffness through the use of ultrasound-based
shear wave elastography, the active stiffness of biceps femoris long head (BFlh) and …

Purpose This study examined whether additional external load during the eccentric phase of
lower limb strength training exercises led to greater adaptations in knee extensor strength …

Purpose To investigate whether people with chronic low back pain (LBP) show dysfunctional
exercise‐induced hypoalgesia (EIH) in response to repeated contractions of their back …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a supplementation with specific
collagen peptides (SCP) combined with resistance training (RT) on changes in structural …

Recent works have demonstrated a linear relationship between muscle activation and shear
modulus in various superficial muscles. As such, it may be possible to overcome limitations …

The shear elastic modulus is one of the most important parameters to characterize the
mechanical behavior of soft tissues. In biomechanics, ultrasound elastography is the gold …
