The stretch–shortening cycle effect is not associated with cortical or spinal excitability modulations

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Active muscle stretch before shortening increases force, work and power output compared with shortening only, which is known as the stretch–shortening cycle (SSC) effect. We explored whether neural modulations triggered by active muscle stretch persist during the SSC shortening phase, thereby potentially contributing to the SSC ...

Load and muscle‐dependent changes in triceps surae motor unit firing properties in individuals with non‐insertional Achilles tendinopathy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Motor unit firing properties of the medial gastrocnemius (MG), lateral gastrocnemius (LG), and soleus (SO) muscles were assessed using high‐density surface electromyography (HD‐sEMG) during isometric plantarflexion contractions at 10%, 40%, and 70% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in individuals with non‐insertional Achilles ...

Dietary nitrate supplementation mitigates age‐related changes at the neuromuscular junction in mice

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
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
