Rethinking neurophysiology of delayed onset muscle soreness
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a physiological response to intense eccentric exercise across endurance, resistance, and plyometric training. Although traditionally attributed primarily to structural muscle damage and inflammation, accumulating evidence indicates that DOMS is a multifactorial neurophysiological response involving complex interactions between peripheral tissue responses, inflammatory signalling, neural sensitisation, propr…
Effects of running distance on per-step and cumulative lower-extremity loading during a simulated treadmill half marathon
Background The cumulative damage impulses have been proposed as a crucial parameter for analyzing joint kinetics and tissue loading during prolonged running. Although prolonged running may have detrimental effects, research focusing on the bones and soft tissues of the lower extremity remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine how treadmill half-marathons influence biomechanical variables in high-performing endurance runners. We addi…

Influence of bionic footwear on lower limb biomechanics across running experience levels
Introduction While the biomechanics of lower extremity during running and the impact of conventional running shoes on these traits have been extensively investigated, the influence of bionic shoes on runners remains largely, especially those runners with different experience levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical differences between experienced and novice runners when wearing two distinct types of footwear: bionic shoes a…
Effects of footwear and foot strike patterns on patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon loading in novice runners and experienced runners
Novice runners experienced a significant increase in PFJ and AT loads during running. In addition, FFS increased the impulse, force, and stress on the AT and decreased the PFJ stress. Therefore, novice runners need to gradually adjust their foot strike pattern according to the loading capacity of different joints to reduce the corresponding injury risk
Biomechanical analyses of the handstand
The findings of this study indicate that gymnasts minimize problems related to disturbed balance during the handstand using a "wrist strategy" to secure a fixed-body configuration. If the "wrist strategy" fails, then the wrists, shoulders, hips, and elbows are utilized, which can be interpreted as a mixed control strategy. Visual conditions and head positions also affect handstand balance. In particular, closing the eyes leads to decreased stabil…
