Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...

The researchers analysed 12 studies. The inclusion criteria for these studies were that the participants were young and healthy and had participated in resistance training for a minimum of four weeks.

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

You’ve dialled in your programming, you’re pushing yourself at the end of your sets, and you’re consistent with your training split. But, if you’re not paying attention to the length at which your ...

Background Most studies of exercise-induced muscle injury have focussed on eccentric contractions, which are known to produce damage and delayed soreness. It is less well known that isometric ...

A person's flexibility is determined by many factors, including the structure of their joints, length of their muscle fibers and suppleness of their connective tissues. When you purchase through links ...

Objective The objective of this study is to describe the mechanism of injury and situational patterns (based on ball possession and playing action leading to injury) of severe (lay-off time >28 days) ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to ...
