MERItestTM—A multidimensional model for functional evaluation at 6 months after ACL reconstruction

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract At 6 months following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), athletes transition from structured rehabilitation toward sport‐specific reconditioning, a critical phase characterised by elevated re‐injury risk and high variability in recovery trajectories. Yet clinical assessments at this milestone often rely on unidimensional metrics

ACL rehabilitation after reconstruction: Evidence‐based consensus recommendations from the German Knee Society—Part IV

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this consensus was to provide evidence‐based recommendations for individual rehabilitation interventions following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. These recommendations are intended to complement, rather than replace, comprehensive criterion‐based rehabilitation protocols.

Influence of oestradiol on exercise induced muscular damage and heart rate variability in a non‐trained healthy population

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 7, Page 3228-3241, 1 July 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates in non‐trained healthy women the influence of oestradiol (E2) on exercise induced muscular damage (EIMD) and performance. Thirty‐six young healthy women performed a step‐exercise until exhaustion, assessing the number of repetitions, pain perception and well‐being (questionnaires, 15 min and at 48 h post‐exercise), blood ...
