Efficient muscle-tendon performance during cyclical tasks is dependent on both active and
passive mechanical tissue properties. Here we examine whether age-related changes in the …

The purpose of this work was to investigate whether different modes of long-term competitive
physical activity cause functional differences in the moment-knee angle relation of the M …

Older adults are more prone to falls during walking than young adults, although they walk
more slowly and demonstrate higher stability state. This paradox of higher stability state but …

Running promotes better cardiovascular health and has positive effects on the
musculoskeletal system in older adults. However, older adults have lower ankle …

Ultrasound imaging can be used to study tendon movement during muscle contraction to
estimate the tendon force–length relationship in vivo. Traditionally, such tendon …

The purpose of this investigation was to elucidate whether ankle joint stretch-shortening
cycle performance, isometric and isokinetic plantarflexion strength, and maximal Achilles …

Distal-to-proximal redistribution of joint work occurs following exhaustive running in
recreational but not competitive runners but the influence of a submaximal run on joint work …

Master runners maintain a similar running economy to young runners, despite displaying
biomechanical characteristics that are associated with a worse running economy. This …

Objective Leg-extensor muscle weakness could be a key component in knee joint
degeneration in the elderly because it may result in altered muscular control during …

Reductions in muscular power output and performance during multi-joint motor tasks with
aging have often been associated with muscle weakness. This study aimed to examine if …
