Effects of a Tapering Period on Physical Condition in Soccer Players [PDF]
, 2021 The aim of this research was to analyze the effects of a 2-week step tapering period on lower-limb muscle power, change of direction (COD) and acceleration capacities, and on the stress-recovery state in an amateur soccer team.

Artificial Muscles Powered by Glucose [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractUntethered actuation is important for robotic devices to achieve autonomous motion, which is typically enabled by using batteries. Using enzymes to provide the required electrical charge is particularly interesting as it will enable direct harvesting of fuel components from a surrounding fluid. Here, a soft artificial muscle is presented, which
