Wearable multichannel haptic device for encoding proprioception in the upper limb
Objective. We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a wearable multichannel haptic system. The device is a wireless closed-loop armband driven by surface electromyography (EMG) and provides sensory feedback encoding proprioception.

Assessing the beliefs and impacts of strength training in a Division I collegiate gymnastics team
Abstract Background Traditionally, there has been a reluctance to use weight training with female gymnasts due to concerns that it could cause detrimental increases in muscle mass and impede flexibility. Recent literature has demonstrated that strength training has no significant effect on flexibility and can improve athletic performance.
