Humans (and other animals) have long Achilles tendons. They do amplify muscle power, but it’s believed evolution endowed us with them largely because they reduce the energetic cost of walking and running. In our Biol Rev article, we challenge this belief tinyurl.com/2kjudrvd

30‐sit‐to‐stand power is a better tool than isometric knee extensor strength to detect motor impairment! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

What happens inside the knee joint when we stand, walk, hop/jump, and cycle? Spoiler: After different activities, knee cartilage thickness, volume, and composition immediately decrease, but the changes are minimal and return to baseline levels after some rest. 🧵

This one took us a while to get done Andre Andrade, but it is now available for those interested in the topic of asymmetries. Hope the community enjoys it! "A new approach to quantify asymmetry in human movement" sciencedirect.com/science/articl… accepted version online in Journal of Biomechanics

#Muscle power more influential than muscle strength & mass in enhancing physical function & reducing falls 🔸Dynapenia ▶️strength loss 🔸#Sarcopenia ▶️muscle mass loss 🔸Powerpenia ▶️power loss 👉🏽sportsmedicine-open.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… by Sandro R. Freitas et al Sports Medicine

Physical inactivity is the most important unhealthy lifestyle factor for pain severity in older adults with pain: A SHARE-based analysis of 27,528 cases from 28 countries. 👇👇👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Derek Griffin Who assumes this? Certainly not the authors. Quote: "Finally, the cross-sectional design does not allow us to establish a cause-effect relationship between the variables studied, thus future prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings."

Dual-task resistance training improves strength and reduces pain more than resistance exercise alone in elbow fracture rehabilitation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🔍 New Research Alert! 🔍 📢 Key Finding: Physically inactive older adults are more likely to experience severe pain, while other lifestyle factors play a weaker role. ✨ Why it matters? Since these lifestyle factors are modifiable, this research can help guide preventive
