A new form of mechanical memory that adjusts the elasticity of muscles to their history of stretching has been discovered. Using highly sensitive atomic force microscopes, the researchers detected a ...
Running is a spring-loaded sport—and no, I’m not just referring to the springy, carbon-plated super shoes that have swept the running world in recent years. Muscles and tendons themselves act like ...
University of British Columbia researchers have cast artificial proteins into a new solid biomaterial that very closely mimics the elasticity of muscle. The approach, detailed in the current issue of ...
Background Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are prevalent in elite sports. Monitoring for (re-)injury prevention often includes tests such as the straight-leg-raise, reflecting the stiffness of all the ...
