Imagine you planned to go for a walk this morning, but you got stuck to your chair. What are
the forces that could explain this failure to engage in physical activity? Is it a paucity of a …

Wearable and mobile devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, wearable medical
devices, etc., have become an important part of our daily life. Most of these devices are …

Implantable sensors can be used to monitor biomechanical strain continuously. However,
three key challenges need to be addressed before they can be of use in clinical practice: the …

Implantable sensors with the abilities of real-time healthcare monitoring and auxiliary
training are important for exercise-induced or disease-induced muscle and ligament injuries …

The interaction between the muscle fascicle and tendon components of the human soleus
(SO) muscle influences the capacity of the muscle to generate force and mechanical work …

Hamstring injuries are highly prevalent in many running‐based sports, and predominantly
affect the long head of biceps femoris. Re‐injury rates are also high and together lead to …

The development of a pronounced iliotibial band (ITB) is an anatomically distinct evolution of
humans. The mechanical behaviour of this “new” structure is still poorly understood and …

stiffness: considerations for testing, performance enhancement, and injury risk. J Strength …

In this review, we examine the literature in light of the mechanical principles that govern
linear accelerated running. While the scientific literature concerning sprint mechanics is …

This clinical commentary discusses the mechanisms used by the lower-limb musculature to
achieve faster running speeds. A variety of methodological approaches have been taken to …
