Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Background: Previous studies have investigated different effects of muscle fatigue on body systems. However, there are no reports on the effect of fatigue protocol and its level on musculotendinous stiffness (MTS) of the tricep-surae.

Foot strike pattern affects ankle joint work and triceps surae muscle–tendon dynamics during running. Whether these changes in muscle–tendon dynamics also affect triceps surae muscle energy consumption is still unknown.

ABSTRACT Background Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked mitochondrial disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, which disrupts cardiolipin (CL) remodelling and mitochondrial function. While cardiac manifestations of BTHS are well characterized in male patients, the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability are poorly

Influence of low-level laser therapy on vertical jump in sedentary individuals
Objective To investigate the effects of low intensity laser (660nm), on the surae triceps muscle fatigue and power, during vertical jump in sedentary individuals, in addition to delayed onset muscle soreness.

The New ‘Coimbra Method’: A Biologically Appropriate Method for Recording Specific Features of Fibrocartilaginous Entheseal Changes [PDF]
A working group was established in 2009 during a workshop in Coimbra, Portugal to review the various methodologies used to record entheseal changes (EC), and develop a standardized system to facilitate comparisons across studies.

A Novel Measurement of Altered Achilles Subtendon Load Sharing 6–12 Months Following Rupture
This study quantifies altered Achilles subtendon function following rupture injury. We developed a surrogate measure of subtendon load sharing by quantifying differences in tissue displacement patterns within the tendon cross section during isolated triceps surae contractions.

A Review of the Treatment and Prevention Options for Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome [PDF]
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) is a chronic lower-limb injury that effects a large population of athletes and exercisers. There is no definitive knowledge on what causes this injury, making prevention and treatment difficult.

Control of support limb muscles in recovery after tripping in young and older subjects [PDF]
Older people fall more often after tripping than young people due to a slower development of mechanical responses. This might be due to age-related changes in muscle properties, but also to changes in motor control.
