Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a popular research tool in sport and rehabilitation
sciences. Common study designs include the comparison of sEMG amplitudes collected …

This nonexhaustive mini-review reports on the application of eccentric exercise in various
rehabilitation populations. The two defining properties of eccentric muscle contractions—a …

For the past 60 years, muscle contraction had been thought to be governed exclusively by
the contractile filaments, actin, and myosin. This thinking explained most observations for …

Muscle contraction and force regulation in skeletal muscle have been thought to occur
exclusively through the relative sliding of and the interaction between the contractile …

Eccentric muscle properties are not well characterized by the current paradigm of the
molecular mechanism of contraction: the cross-bridge theory. Findings of force contributions …

The sliding filament theory of muscle contraction is widely accepted as the means by which
muscles generate force during activation. Within the constraints of this theory, isometric …

Both the Hill and the Huxley muscle models had already been described by the time the
International Society of Biomechanics was founded 50 years ago, but had seen little use …

Muscle contraction is commonly associated with the cross-bridge and sliding filament
theories, which have received strong support from experiments conducted over the years in …

We propose and examine a three filament model of skeletal muscle force generation,
thereby extending classical cross-bridge models by involving titin-actin interaction upon …

Muscle models are commonly based on intrinsic properties pooled across a number of
individuals, often from a different species, and rarely validated against directly measured …
