Mechanosensing in myosin filament solves a 60 years old conflict in skeletal muscle modeling between high power output and slow rise in tension [PDF]

, 2016
Almost 60 years ago Andrew Huxley with his seminal paper \cite{Huxley1957} laid the foundation of modern muscle modeling, linking chemical events to mechanical performance.

Effects of Different Plyometric Training Frequencies on Components of Physical Fitness in Amateur Female Soccer Players

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Plyometric jump training (PJT) is a frequently used and effective means to improve amateur and elite soccer players' physical fitness. However, it is unresolved how different PJT frequencies per week with equal overall training volume may affect training-

Changes in lower extremity muscle function after 56 days of bed rest [PDF]

, 2011
Preservation of muscle function, known to decline in microgravity and simulation (bed rest), is important for successful spaceflight missions. Hence, there is great interest in developing interventions to prevent musclefunction loss.

Acute Effects of Low vs. High Inertia During Flywheel Deadlifts with Equal Force Impulse on Vertical Jump Performance

Sensors
Background: Flywheel resistance training has gained popularity due to its ability to induce eccentric overload and improve strength and power. This study examined the acute effects of low- (0.025 kg·m2) versus high-inertia (0.10 kg·m2) flywheel deadlifts,
