Examining the Impact of Supramaximal Eccentric and Long‐Lever Isometric Training Protocols on Isometric Hamstring Strength, Nordic Hamstring Performance, and Sprint Speed

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a 6‐week higher‐volume eccentric training protocol with a combined lower‐volume eccentric and long‐lever isometric protocol on posterior chain strength and sprint performance. Thirty‐three NCAA Division II soccer players (men: n = 17, age = 19.7 ± 1.2 years, height = 178.9 ± 6.6 cm, body mass

Biomechanics of Copenhagen Adduction Exercise and Eccentric Hip Adductor Exercises on a Novel Isokinetic Dynamometer With Within‐Session Repeatability

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study biomechanically evaluated the eccentric phase of short and long lever Copenhagen adduction exercise (CAE) and compared them with unilateral and bilateral eccentric hip adductor exercises performed on a novel eccentric hip adductor dynamometer (EHAD). Fifteen participants completed two CAE variations and five EHAD exercises.

High prevalence of muscle stability deficits in semi‐professional football players—Adaptive Force assessment reveals selective impairment of holding capacity with preserved maximal strength: A cross‐sectional study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 2987-3001, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose Despite considerable research, strength screening has shown limited value for injury prediction. The concept of muscle stability assessed by Adaptive Force (AF) offers a distinct perspective—addressing neuromuscular holding capacity closer to injury‐prone motions rather than pushing strength.

Age‐specific over‐the‐top anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and lateral extra‐articular tenodesis (LET) in skeletally immature patients: No major complications during early follow‐up

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Purpose To assess the rate of early complications and reoperation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using an over‐the‐top technique with lateral extra‐articular tenodesis (LET) in skeletally immature patients. Methods This prospective case series included all skeletally immature patients undergoing ACLR with an over‐the ...

Clinical Outcome Assessments for Functional Performance in Spastic Paresis: Systematic Review, Critique, and Recommendations

Movement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1623-1647, July 2026.
Abstract Background Spastic paresis, resulting from central nervous system lesions, significantly impairs functional performance. In the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, functional performance was defined as functioning at the activity level in relation to the impairment of body functions and ...
