Muscle Weakness and the Irisin–BDNF and Oxidative Stress Axis in the 60‐Day Pseudorandomised Controlled AGBRESA Bed Rest Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Muscle atrophy and weakness are among the most detrimental consequences of disuse, microgravity, hospitalisation and ageing. Oxidative modifications of myofibrillar proteins generated by oxidative stress may contribute to the reduced force‐ and power‐generating capacity of skeletal muscles. As part of the 60‐day AGBRESA bed rest (BR)

Effects of Lift Velocity on Muscle Activation During Leg Extension [PDF]

, 2013
It is not known if manipulating velocity within a prescribed resistance training mode will improve muscle activation. Muscle activations of the Rectus Femoris (RF), Vastus Lateralis (VL), Vastus Medialis (VM) and Bicep Femoris (BF) were examined during a

Effects of Knee Joint Angle on Intramuscular Blood Flow and Muscle Deoxygenation During Fatiguing Isometric Contractions

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the knee joint angle on intramuscular blood flow and muscle deoxygenation during fatiguing intermittent isometric knee extensions. Seventeen healthy young male participants (19.6 ± 1.3 years) performed intermittent (5 s contraction, 5 s relaxation) and incremental isometric knee ...

Ultrasound predicts skeletal muscle fat infiltration in healthy middle‐aged and young adults: Validation against MRI

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 2135-2147, 1 April 2026.
Abstract This study developed an ultrasound prediction equation for measuring fat fraction in lower limb muscles of healthy middle‐aged and young participants and applied it in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to assess the relationship between fat fraction and strength in exercising and non‐exercising females.
