Skeletal muscle health is a strong predictor of overall health and longevity. Pathologies
affecting skeletal muscle such as cancer cachexia, intensive care unit treatment, muscular …

Performance fatigability differs between men and women for a range of fatiguing tasks.
Women are usually less fatigable than men and this is most widely described for isometric …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a pathological condition mainly characterized by a loss of
muscular mass and the contractile capacity of the skeletal muscle as a consequence of …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and reconstruction (ACLR) promote
quadriceps muscle atrophy and weakness that can persist for years, suggesting the need for …

Only in recent years, thanks to a precision medicine-based approach, have treatments
tailored to the sex of each patient emerged in clinical trials. In this regard, both striated …

Short-term muscle disuse has been reported to lower both postabsorptive and postprandial
myofibrillar protein synthesis rates. This study assessed the impact of disuse on daily …

Skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain (MyHC) fiber type composition is a critical determinant
of overall muscle function and health. Various approaches interrogate fiber type at the single …

The importance of defining sex differences across various biological and physiological
mechanisms is more pervasive now than it has been over the past 15–20 years. As the …

Skeletal muscle contractile function declines with aging, disease, and disuse. In vivo muscle
contractile function depends on a variety of factors, but force, contractile velocity and power …

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of age on running mechanics
separately for male and female runners and to quantify sex differences in running …
