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

open access: yesGender, 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 ...

Returning to Performance After ACL Injury in Competitive Alpine Skiing: A Scoping Review and Evidence‐ and Expert‐Informed Practice Recommendations

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in competitive alpine skiing and pose significant challenges for return‐to‐performance (RTP) pathways. The aim of this scoping review was to map the current state of research, identify key factors for recovery, highlight knowledge gaps and synthesize evidence‐ and expert‐informed practice ...

Cerebral Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Dynamics in Endurance Athletes: Associations With Aortic Recoil and Heart Rate

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Endurance training elicits profound cardiovascular adaptations, including lower heart rate (HR), greater stroke volume (SV), and enhanced aortic Windkessel function. This study aimed to investigate cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics in endurance athletes and their relations with cardiovascular parameters.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Rehabilitation guidelines after autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction need more graft‐specific exercise recommendations—A scoping review

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 83-101, January 2026.
Abstract Purpose Autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are primarily harvested from the quadriceps, patellar, and semitendinosus tendons. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe available recommendations for exercise‐based rehabilitation following primary ACLR with a quadriceps tendon (QT), semitendinosus tendon (ST)

Intermittent Fasting May Enhance Resistance Training Effects on the Body Composition of Obese Males, Without Affecting Muscular Strength and Anabolic Index

open access: yesJournal of Obesity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Purpose This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the impact of intermittent fasting (IF) during resistance training (RT) on body composition, muscular strength, and the testosterone:cortisol ratio in obese males. Methods Twenty obese males (aged 20–30, BMI 30–36 kg/m2) were selected from eligible volunteers and randomly assigned to control ...

No Alterations in ACL Injury Risk Factors in Preadolescent Elite Female Handball Players Following an Eight‐Week Targeted Training Intervention: A Randomised Controlled Trial

open access: yesTranslational Sports Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Adolescent female handball players are at elevated risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Early interventions during preadolescence seem crucial for improving motor strategies and potentially preventing injuries. This randomised controlled trial on preadolescent female handball players investigated the effects of an 8‐week ACL injury ...

A Resistive Soft Robotic Exosuit for Dynamic Body Loading in Hypogravity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 47, December 18, 2025.
The resistive hypogravity exosuit is a lightweight wearable robotic exosuit that uses pneumatic artificial muscles to restore Earth‐like metabolic and muscular demands during locomotion in low gravity. Tested on healthy subjects in Earth and simulated Moon gravity, the suit restores energy expenditure and muscle activation without altering gait ...
