Mechanical and Morphological Changes of the Plantar Flexor Musculotendinous Unit in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Following 12 Weeks of Plyometric Exercise: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Children, 2022
To investigate how plyometric exercise (PLYO-Ex) affects mechanics and morphometrics of the plantar flexor musculotendinous unit in children with unilateral cerebral palsy, 38 participants (aged 10–16 years) were allocated at random to either the PLYO-Ex

Maximal fascicle shortening velocity measurements in human medial gastrocnemius muscle in vivo

Physiological Reports, 2023
This study evaluated the maximal fascicle shortening velocity under near‐no‐load conditions. In addition, we determined whether the rate of torque development during ballistic contraction was related to maximal fascicle shortening velocity. Under passive

Anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanisms through a neurocognition lens: implications for injury screening

BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, 2021
Athletes in team sports have to quickly visually perceive actions of opponents and teammates while executing their own movements. These continuous actions are performed under time pressure and may contribute to a non-contact ACL injury.
