Medio-Lateral Hamstring Muscle Activity in Unilateral vs. Bilateral Strength Exercises in Female Team Handball Players – A Cross-Sectional Study

International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2021
# Background Reduced activation of the hamstring muscles and specifically the medial semitendinosus muscle (ST) has been shown to be a risk factor for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

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

Experimental 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 ...

Blood flow restriction exercise during microgravity exposure in parabolic flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report evaluates whether it is possible to perform blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise during exposure to microgravity. The objectives were three‐fold: (1) to determine if a personalised tourniquet system (PTS) hardware technology performs nominally and enables BFR exercise in microgravity; (2) to determine if BFR augments the ...

A comparison between a traditionally periodised programme and a load autoregulated periodised programme for maximal strength gain in the squat, bench press, and deadlift in weight-trained males : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Training towards the goal of improving maximal strength is commonly undertaken; particularly by athletes involved in contact sports, powerlifters, and recreational body builders.

Functional Training Mitigates Reduced Circulating Indole‐3‐Lactate Levels in Persons With Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Indoles are tryptophan (Trp)‐derived metabolites that are produced by the gut microbiota and may influence the gut‐microbiota‐brain axis in multiple sclerosis (MS). Indole‐3‐lactate (ILA) is reduced in persons with MS and improves MS clinical scores in animal models via its anti‐inflammatory remyelinating properties.

Fight Like a Girl: Fitness Testing as Gendered Organizational Logic in the U.S. Army

Gender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 399-411, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Organizational logics related to excellence and equity are changing rapidly in contemporary workplaces, yet limited research examines the impacts of specific policy initiatives, including why some fail—or even backfire. This study examines one such recent policy case: a temporary period of gender‐neutral fitness testing in the United States ...

Substantial variability and inconsistent quality of publicly available rehabilitation protocols after quadriceps tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A cross‐sectional analysis of academic orthopaedic surgery programmes

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Purpose Quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft is increasingly used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), yet rehabilitation guidelines remain extrapolated from patellar tendon (PT) or hamstring tendon (HT) protocols. This cross‑sectional study evaluated publicly available postoperative rehabilitation protocols from academic ...

Kinetics in lumbosacral and lower-limb joints of sprinters during barbell hip thrust compared to deadlift and back squat.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Joint kinetic characteristics during the eccentric phase are important in resistance exercises because eccentric actions with elastic potential energy storage lead to the energy recoil with large joint moment and power generation during the subsequent ...
