Patellar Tendon Force Differs Depending on Jump-Landing Tasks and Estimation Methods
Patellar tendinopathy is a chronic overuse injury of the patellar tendon which is prevalent in jump-landing activities. Sports activities can require jumping not only with a vertical component but also in a forward direction.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Effects of an assisted jump training stimulus on explosive performance [PDF]
Complex training protocols are an effective means to improve explosive performance. However, due to many variations in resistance and plyometric training the effectiveness of different combinations are unknown.

Effects of 30 second versus 45 second static stretching on vertical jump performance
BACKGROUND: Static stretching (SS) is widely used by many athletes, as a warm-up before exercise training and athletic events. The duration of effective SS and the threshold volume of continuous SS on vertical jump performance remain unclear.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Knowledge of results during vertical jump testing: an effective method to increase the performance but not the consistency of vertical jumps [PDF]
This study aimed to determine whether the provision of jump height feedback (knowledge of result; KR) can increase the performance and the consistency of output variables. In a randomised order, sixteen participants performed six squat or countermovement jumps (three from a 90º knee angle and three from a self-preferred knee angle) with or without KR ...

An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Reliability and validity of “My Jump 2” application for countermovement jump free arm and interlimb jump symmetry in different sports of professional athletes [PDF]
Background Vertical jumping is an important evaluation tool to measure muscle strength and power as well as lower limb symmetry. It is of practical importance and value to develop and utilize a portable and low-cost mobile application (APP) to evaluate ...
