Background: Surface mechanomyographic (sMMG) signals have been used to examine sex-specific differences in the mechanical behavior of muscle during fatiguing exercise. However, studies often utilize simple amplitude- and frequency-based analyses, whi...

Maximal eccentric (MES) and isometric (MIS) muscle strength may enhance vertical jump performance by facilitating preloading and reducing energy loss during the eccentric (ECC) phase of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). However, the contributions o...

People affected by mitochondrial myopathies (MITOs) are thought to have impaired skeletal muscle oxygenation. The aims of this study were to measure skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity in MITO participants and able-bodied (AB) participants and eva...

Background: The presence of sensorimotor control deficits in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to typically developed adolescents is supported by the literature but lacks reliability studies for assessment in this population. This study aimed...

Turkesterone is a naturally occurring plant steroid touted for its medicinal, pharmacological, and biological properties with no reported adverse side effects compared with traditional anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS). However, this ostensible enha...

Introduction: The physiological response of the tendon structure has been the subject of several studies using clinical thermography, although the lack of normal values limits clinical practice despite being, according to several authors, an optimal...

Construction work is physically demanding. The tasks involved in this professional occupation physically exhaust workers and put them at high risk of injury. This work aimed to analyze muscle fatigue in civil construction workers with and without a h...

Medial gastrocnemius silent contractures (MGSCs) are prevalent, notably impacting functional status and increasing the risk of foot and ankle disorders, especially among aging populations. Although traditionally managed by podiatrists and physiothera...
