High‐intensity resistance training and collagen supplementation improve patellar tendon adaptations in professional female soccer athletes

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated whether 10 weeks of pre‐season soccer training (including high‐intensity resistance exercise) with hydrolysed collagen (COL) supplementation would confer greater changes in patellar tendon (PT) mechanical and material properties compared with placebo (PLA) in professional female soccer athletes.

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Weighted cart pull: A novel outcome measure for sustained motor function in mice

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia, the pathological age‐related decline in muscle mass and strength, compromises independence and quality of life in older adults. Currently, no effective treatments are available. To enhance translational research using aged mouse models, we developed and validated the weighted cart pull (WCP) as a novel assessment of sustained motor

Nonsurgical treatment and early return to activity leads to improved Achilles tendon fatigue mechanics and functional outcomes during early healing in an animal model

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, 2016
Achilles tendon ruptures are common and devastating injuries; however, an optimized treatment and rehabilitation protocol has yet to be defined. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of surgical repair and return to ...

Inhibition and potentiation of the exercise pressor reflex by pharmacological modulation of TRPC6 in male rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The majority of L4–L5 dorsal root ganglion cells innervating the triceps surae muscles of healthy rats expressed TRPC6 channels. In decerebrated rats, pharmacological inhibition of TRPC6 channels by injection of antagonists (SAR7334 or BI‐749327) into the arterial supply of the triceps surae muscles inhibited the exercise pressor

Antagonist Inhibition Control in Redundant Tendon-driven Structures Based on Human Reciprocal Innervation for Wide Range Limb Motion of Musculoskeletal Humanoids [PDF]

open access: yes
The body structure of an anatomically correct tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid is complex, and the difference between its geometric model and the actual robot is very large because expressing the complex routes of tendon wires in a geometric model is very difficult. If we move a tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid by the tendon wire lengths of

Acute Ultrasonography Investigation to Predict Reruptures and Outcomes in Patients With an Achilles Tendon Rupture

open access: yesOrthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016
Background: The optimal treatment for acute Achilles tendon ruptures is still an ongoing debate. Acute ultrasonography (US) investigation to measure the diastasis between the tendon ends has previously been used to classify acute Achilles tendon ruptures;
