Co‐Contraction Training Induces Muscle Hypertrophy but Not Strength Gains in Older Adults: A Controlled Intervention Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Aging is associated with neuromuscular decline, impairing function and independence. Resistance training mitigates these effects; however, in some contexts, barriers such as access to facilities, transportation, and adherence may limit participation, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged and community‐dwelling older ...

Looking Under the Hood of Elite Rowers: Skeletal Muscle Determinants of Rowing Performance

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We aimed to identify the physiological and muscle characteristics associated with mean power output in the final stage of a rowing incremental test in elite rowers. Twenty‐two national level rowers (n = 9 female) completed the following assessments (i) a 7‐stage incremental rowing ergometer test to determine V̇O2peak, maximal muscle ...

Locomotor muscle dysfunction and rehabilitative exercise training in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: Where are we at and where could we go?

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 2860-2879, 1 June 2026.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Gender Equality in Diastasis Rectus Abdominis in Chronic Back Pain: A Model of M. Transversus Abdominis Motor Control Impairment

Journal of Abdominal Wall Surgery
Introduction: Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is defined as an increased distance between the left and right muscle of the m. rectus abdominis. Pregnancy-related factors are assumed to be dominant factors in the occurrence of DRA.

NMDA and glycine receptors provide dual presynaptic regulation on climbing fibre inputs to cerebellar Purkinje cells

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4926-4944, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Vibrodissociated Pukinje neurons retain active synaptic connections, including those from adhering fragments of the climbing fibre. These fragments generate excitatory synaptic events and the frequency of these events is increased by exposure to either NMDA [with d‐serine (d‐ser) as a co‐agonist] or glycine at a high (100 µM ...

Impact of High‐Definition Cathodal tDCS Preconditioning on Enhancing the Therapeutic Efficacy of iTBS Combined With FES for Improving Walking Function in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study was divided into two groups: The treatment group, which received HD C‐tDCS combined with iTBS, FES, and conventional therapy, and the control group, which received sham HD C‐tDCS along with identical iTBS, FES, and conventional therapy. Interventions were administered once daily, five days per week, over a four‐week period.

Comparison of the inter-recti distance in nulliparous women measured in supine and standing positions using ultrasound imaging

Scientific Reports
In physiotherapy for pregnancy-related diastasis recti abdominis, the inter-recti distance (IRD) measurement using ultrasound imaging is typically performed with the patient in supine position.
