Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Reliable assessments of maximal and rapid muscle strength are essential for evaluating neuromuscular performance and adaptations. This study examined the effects of verbal instruction and trial selection criteria on performance outcomes and intersession test–retest reliability during maximal isometric knee extensor testing.

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Milano‐Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics present an opportunity to synthesize evolving paradigms in endurance training within the broader context of long‐term athlete development. As Olympic winter sports span from endurance‐limited events to disciplines in which aerobic fitness primarily serves as a feeder capacity, a single training model is ...

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 3, Page 1428-1446, 1 February 2026.Abstract figure legend The brain is a major energy consumer relying primarily on carbohydrates. This exceptional metabolic demand suggests that its functional state, which includes cognitive processes such as motor memory acquisition and retention, should be observable in the body's systemic metabolism. To explore this link, we investigated whether the

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study of Quadrupolar Spin Relaxation in an Ionic Liquid
Journal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 3, 30 January 2026.This study presents a methodology for describing the relaxation of nuclear spins (with I > 1/2), applicable to ionic liquids of a general nature. Based on ab initio molecular dynamics, we demonstrate the importance of explicit solvation in calculating the relaxation times of the quadrupolar mechanism.

Effects of Processing on the Mechanical Performance of GF‐PC Composites: A Multiscale Investigation
Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 1300-1315, 20 January 2026.From processing and interface conditions, to macro/micro scale characterization, and postmortem analysis. ABSTRACT A robust fiber‐matrix interface is crucial for any composite system, with higher challenges in thermoplastic matrices compared to thermosets (reaction in composite level).

Growth Rate and Energy Dissipation in Wind‐Forced Breaking Waves
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract We investigate the energy growth and dissipation of wind‐forced breaking waves at high wind speed using direct numerical simulations of the coupled air–water Navier–Stokes equations. A turbulent wind boundary layer drives the growth of a pre‐existing narrowband wave field until it breaks, transferring energy into the water column.
