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 ...

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.

Somatosensory processing in long COVID fatigue and its relations with physiological and psychological factors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed to quantify somatosensory processing in long COVID and interactions between somatosensory processing, fatigability, fatigue, autonomic function, mood and illness beliefs. Eighty‐eight participants (44 long COVID and 44 controls) were invited to complete two testing sessions, where fatigue was induced by either a cognitive or a ...

From Prevention to Healthy Longevity: Evaluating the Multi‐Systemic Effects of Physical Activity and Lifestyle Behaviours in Women

Reproductive, Female and Child Health, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Despite spending more on healthcare than any other high‐income nation, the United States faces comparatively poor life expectancy outcomes, primarily due to non‐compliance with preventable and modifiable lifestyle behaviours. This review evaluates the multi‐systemic benefits of physical activity, exercise, diet, weight management and ...
