After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), quadriceps strength must be maximised as early as possible. We tested whether local vibration training (LVT) during the early post-ACLR period (i.e., ∼10 weeks) could improve strength recovery. This was a multicentric, open, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial. Thirty individuals atten...

Skeletal muscle of the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse is hypersensitive to eccentric (ECC) contraction-induced strength loss due to plasmalemmal electrical dysfunction. Despite plasmalemmal inexcitability being a logical mechanism responsible for weakness, it remains unclear if processes up- and/or down-stream remain functionally intact in injured ...

To investigate the association between sensorimotor function and visual assessment of postural orientation during execution of weight-bearing activities in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Cross-sectional study. Laboratory. Fifty-two individuals (23 women and 29 men, mean (SD) age 26.5 (6.4)) approximately 7 months af...

The use of a tourniquet in total knee replacement has advantages and drawbacks. Some studies suggest that using ischaemia at low pressures could reduce its negative effects. Our objective is to verify whether the use of ischaemia at low pressures (100 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure) produces greater pain and loss of strength than surgery wi...

Purpose Due to its eccentric nature, downhill running (DR) training has been suggested to promote strength gains through neuromuscular adaptations. However, it is unknown whether short-term chronic DR can elicit such adaptations. Methods Twelve untrained, young, healthy adults (5 women, 7 men) took part in 4 weeks' DR, comprising 10 sessions, with ...

A new class of high-strength steels has been developed by combining solid solution hardening and grain boundary hardening in high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels. Average grain diameters from 50 to 250 nm can be achieved, and yield strength levels of more than 2000 MPa in the solution-annealed condition have been measured. The effect of nitrog...

The quasi-binary eutectic NiAl–Cr of the ternary Ni–Al–Cr system is composed of B2 type NiAl(Cr) solid solutions and the b.c.c. transition metal chromium as second phase. This constitution enables a systematic alloy design in dependence on the Cr content for improving elastic stiffness, high temperature strength, creep resistance, and fracture toug...

In conventional mud drilling, sufficient drilling fluid density is required to maintain wellbore stability. However, in gas drilling, the support ability of gas in wellbore is very weak, and the wellbore stability is usually good. This shows that the borehole instability mechanism of gas drilling is different from that of mud drilling. In gas drill...

The effect of microstructural parameters produced by α–β forging and heat treatment on the strength and ductility of Ti – 6Al – 4V, which is one of the typical α–β titanium alloys, has been studied. The results obtained in this study are as follows: (1) the aspect ratio of primary α (αp) including grain boundary α decreases exponentially with the i...

The aims of this systematic review were to synthetize the current evidence about (i) the force-velocity (FV) profile parameters (maximal values of force [F0], velocity (V0), and power [Pmax]) obtained from the Samozino's method in different sports; (ii) the association of the FV profile parameters with sport performance outcomes; and (iii) the effe...
