Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Effect of Estrogen on Musculoskeletal Performance and Injury Risk. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Estrogen has a dramatic effect on musculoskeletal function. Beyond the known relationship between estrogen and bone, it directly affects the structure and function of other musculoskeletal tissues such as muscle, tendon, and ligament.

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.

Achilles tendon morphology adaptations in chronic post-stroke hemiparesis: a comparative analysis with neurologically intact controls

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living
IntroductionIn individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis, slow walking speed is a significant concern related to inadequate propulsion of the paretic limb.

Eccentric training at long muscle lengths induces greater corticospinal and spinal reflex plasticity than eccentric training at short muscle lengths

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It is well‐established that resistance training generates neural adaptations. These may be greater when exercises mainly include eccentric contractions or when muscles are trained at long length. However, it remains to be clarified whether the length at which muscles are trained influences neural adaptation following eccentric training.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of V-Y plasty of frozen Achilles tendon rupture, with immediate follow-up weight-bearing and rehabilitation. Case analysis

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport
The Achilles tendon is a strong tendon in the human body but is prone to rupture, especially during recreational activities. Misdiagnosis of ruptures can lead to chronic issues, affecting the quality of life.
