A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Bed rest studies of the past 20 years are reviewed. Head-down bed rest (HDBR) has proved
its usefulness as a reliable simulation model for the most physiological effects of spaceflight …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Key points Few days of unloading are sufficient to induce a decline of skeletal muscle mass
and function; notably, contractile force is lost at a faster rate than muscle mass. The reasons …

For efficient prevention of falls among older adults, individuals at a high risk of falling need to
be identified. In this study, we searched for muscle strength measures that best identified …

This paper aims to highlight the importance of exercise in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Situations such as recovery from injury or illness require otherwise healthy humans to
undergo periods of disuse, which lead to considerable losses of skeletal muscle mass and …

Tendons are able to remodel their mechanical and morphological properties in response to
mechanical loading. However, there is little information about the effects of controlled …
