Muscle-tendon unit morphology, architecture and stiffness in relation to strength and responses to strength training [PDF]
, 2017 This thesis examined the change in skeletal muscle architecture with contractile force production, the relationship of architecture with muscle strength parameters and if muscle tendinous tissue stiffness determines in vivo explosive strength (i.e.

Muscle architecture in relation to function [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 1991 Animal muscles generate forces and induce movements at desirable rates. These roles are interactive and must be considered together. Performance of the organism and survival of the species also involve potential optimization of control and of energy consumption.

FGF19 and muscle architecture in older patients
Experimental Gerontology, 2023 Sarcopenia has a significant medical and economic impact. Serum fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) has recently been described as promoting muscle mass and strength, and could be an interesting marker for early diagnosis of sarcopenia and prevention of its consequences.

Experiments with Body Agent Architecture [PDF]
, 2022 Experiments with Body Agent Architecture puts forward the notion of body agents: non-ideal, animate and highly specific figures integrated with design to enact particular notions of embodied subjectivity in architecture. Body agents present opportunities
