Muscle and Tendon Morphology in Early-Adolescent Athletes and Untrained Peers
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Adolescent athletes can feature significantly greater muscle strength and tendon stiffness compared to untrained peers. However, to date, it is widely unclear if radial muscle and tendon hypertrophy may contribute to loading-induced adaptation at this ...

Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Position Paper: Resistance Training in Children and Adolescents [PDF]
, 2008 Many position stands and review papers have refuted the myths associated with resistance training (RT) in children and adolescents. With proper training methods, RT for children and adolescents can be relatively safe and improve overall health.

Dietary nitrate supplementation mitigates age‐related changes at the neuromuscular junction in mice
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 2, Page 886-916, 15 January 2026.Abstract figure legend Ageing is associated with a decline in muscle mass and strength, namely sarcopenia, significantly impacting the quality of life in older individuals. Different strategies are being explored to counteract these detrimental effects. In the present study, we investigated a non‐invasive nutritional approach: the impact of 2 months of

Variability of jaw muscles in Tunisian street dogs and adaptation to skull shape
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3122-3141, December 2025.Abstract The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus of dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with dogs subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores the jaw musculature of Tunisian street dogs, which are largely free from the influence of breed‐specific selection.
