To better understand the effects of pubertal maturation on the contractile properties of
skeletal muscle in vivo, the present study investigated whether there are any differences in …

It is unknown if adult human skeletal muscle has an epigenetic memory of earlier encounters
with growth. We report, for the first time in humans, genome-wide DNA methylation (850,000 …

It is not currently known how the mechanical properties of human tendons change with
maturation in the two sexes. To address this, the stiffness and Young's modulus of the …

Hyper-resistance at the joint is one of the most common symptoms in children with cerebral
palsy (CP). Alterations to the structure and mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal …

Muscle performance is closely related to the architecture and dimensions of the muscle–
tendon unit and the effect of maturation on these architectural characteristics in humans is …

The present study investigated whether differences between adults and children in
mechanical power during single‐joint knee extension tasks and the complex multijoint task …

Aim To perform a systematic review establishing the current evidence base for physical
activity and exercise interventions that promote health, fitness and well-being, rather than …

Objective. RA typically features rheumatoid cachexia [loss of muscle mass (MM) and
excessive total fat mass (TFM), especially trunk FM], which contributes to physical disability …

We investigated the biological systems involved in maintaining equilibrium during unstable
and perturbed conditions in 39 healthy older women and estimated the annual difference in …

Objective Rheumatoid cachexia (muscle wasting) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients
contributes to substantial reductions in strength and impaired physical function. The …
