Maximal sprinting in humans requires the contribution of various muscle–tendon units
(MTUs) and joints to maximize performance. The plantar flexor MTU and ankle joint are of …

While strength is indeed a skill, most discussions have primarily considered structural
adaptations rather than ultrastructural augmentation to improve performance. Altering the …

ABSTRACT 1 The influence of muscle morphology and strength characteristics on sprint
running 2 performance, especially at elite level, is unclear. Purpose: This study aimed to …

Resistance exercise (RE) with blood flow restriction (BFR) is recognized as a beneficial
strategy in increasing skeletal muscle mass and strength. However, the effects of BFR on …

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare thigh muscle volumes (MVs), and
sprint mechanical properties and performance between male and female national-level …

Background A small cross sectional area (CSA) of the paraspinal muscles may be related to
low back pain among military aviators but previous studies have mainly concentrated on …

There is a marked difference between males and females in sprint running performance, yet
a comprehensive investigation of sex differences in the muscle morphology of sprinters …

This study aimed to explore the main determinants of repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in women
soccer players considering aerobic capacity, sprinting performance, change-of-direction …

Sprint ability develops nonlinearly across childhood and adolescence. However, the
underpinning ground reaction force (GRF) production is not fully understood. This study …

This study aimed to analyse changes in sprint performance, muscle volumes (MVs) and
sprint mechanical parameters (SMPs) in national-level sprinters performing a 5-month …
