Specific force (SF) has been shown to be reduced in some but not all studies of human ageing using chemically skinned single muscle fibres. This may be due in part to the health status/physical activity levels of different older cohorts, but also fro

Videos of free swimming of catsharks (Scyliorhinus canicula) were analysed to give values of swimming speed (units: FL (fish lengths) s−1), stride-length (forward movement in the direction of travel per cycle of body undulation (units: FL) and stri

The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or

We compared the contractile performance of papillary muscle from a mouse model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [α-cardiac actin ( ACTC) E99K mutation] with nontransgenic (non-TG) littermates. In isometric twitches, ACTC E99K papillary muscle produced

Skinned fibres have advantages for comparing the muscle properties of different animal species because they can be prepared from a needle biopsy taken under field conditions. However, it is not clear how well the contractile properties of skinned fib

Triceps surae eccentric exercise is more effective than concentric exercise for treating Achilles tendinopathy, however the mechanisms underpinning these effects are unclear. This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of eccentric and conc

Level locomotion in small, agile lizards is characterized by intermittent bursts of fast running. These require very large accelerations, often reaching several timesg. The power input required to increase kinetic energy is calculated to be as high a

Abstract The active force production during contraction of bundles of red muscle fibres from myotomal muscle of dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula (L.) has been predicted by a numerical model based on Hill's 2-component model of the mechanical properties

Low bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle weakness are major risk factors for postmenopausal osteoporotic fracture. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) reverses the menopausal decline in maximum voluntary force of the adductor pollicis and reduces seru

D.R. Wilkie entered University College London (UCL), which was to be his lifelong academic home, in 1940 to study medicine on the shortened wartime course. He soon showed his great academic ability and won the Rockefeller Scholarship that took him to
