Significance of fiber orientation in the interosseous sacroiliac ligament: An anatomical and histological study of the implications of its mechanical adaptation

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fiber structure of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament exhibits a distinct organization, with predominantly vertical fibers in the inferior region and predominantly horizontal fibers in the superior region. These fiber alignment patterns likely reflect mechanical adaptation to the sacroiliac joint motion and may support imaging‐based evaluation of its

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

The engaged action hypothesis: Explaining the merits of external focus cues

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The attentional focus effect—the theory that focusing on the body during skilled tasks leads to suboptimal results relative to focusing externally—is well established, but it is not known why it holds. The most widely cited explanation is the constrained action hypothesis: Focusing on the body interferes with beneficial automatic motor programs.

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.
