Chronic and acute mediators of passive viscoelasticity in human skeletal muscle fibres
Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 12, Page 1948-1965, December 1, 2025.Abstract The cellular viscoelastic modulus in skeletal muscle tissue responds dynamically to chronic stressors, such as age and exercise. Passive tissue mechanics can also be sensitive to acute stimuli, such as mechanical loading and/or activation‐induced muscle fatigue.

Creative dance can enhance proprioception in older adults [PDF]
, 2015 Aim. It has been shown by many authors that proprioception declines with age. However, few studies have examined the effects of exercise interventions on proprioception. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a creative dance program

Spinal and Supraspinal Motor Control Predictors of Rate of Torque Development [PDF]
, 2015 During explosive movements and potentially injurious situations, the ability to rapidly generate torque is critical. Previous research has suggested that different phases of rate of torque development (RTD) are differentiately controlled.
