Why fencers should bounce: A new method of movement to engage the stretch-shortening cycle [PDF]
, 2017 While teaching a heel first contact style of footwork in fencing (also referred to as toe contribution avoidance) is in keeping with long-standing traditions, it is not conducive to today’s modern style of fast paced and explosive fencing.

The role of ssc cycle in hockey off-ice training
Slovak Journal of Sport Science, 2022 The Stretch and shortening cycle (SSC) is one of the most common used mechanism in a human body. The objective of this study was to determine a level of slow and fast stretch-shortening cycle utilization in elite ice hockey players and prescribe some ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Influence of stretch magnitude on the stretch-shortening cycle in skinned fibres [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019 The mechanical work attained during shortening is increased by prior stretching. Recently, we suggested that the residual force enhancement (RFE) may contribute to this enhanced work. RFE can be changed reliably by changing the stretch magnitude. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of stretch magnitude, and by association of ...
