The shape of the force-velocity (FV) relationship has important implications for different
aspects of muscle physiology, such as muscle efficiency and fatigue, the understanding of …

OBJECTIVE: To present the properties of an eccentric contraction and compare
neuromuscular and muscle–tendon system adaptations induced by isotonic and isokinetic …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Manual tracking of muscle fascicle length changes from ultrasound images is a subjective
and time-consuming process. The purpose of this study was to assess the repeatability and …

The purpose of the present study was to elucidate how plyometric training improves stretch–
shortening cycle (SSC) exercise performance in terms of muscle strength, tendon stiffness …

Purpose The aim of the study was to use eccentric strength training of the plantar flexor
muscles to investigate the plasticity of the spinal reflexes during maximal voluntary isometric …

Aim Defining the origins of muscle injury has important rehabilitation and exercise
applications. However, current knowledge of muscle damage mechanics in human remains …

In vivo, the force–velocity relation (F–v–r) is typically derived from the torque–angular
velocity relation (T–ω–r), which is subject to two factors that may influence resulting …

It is unclear if skeletal muscles act mechanically as independent actuators. The purpose of
the present study was to investigate force transmission from soleus (SO) muscle for …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plyometric training on the muscle–
tendon mechanical properties and behavior of fascicles during jumping in order to elucidate …
