Repeated stretch-shortening cycles enhance force and work despite brief deactivation between cycles

Stretch-shortening cycles (SSCs) enhance force and mechanical work compared with pure shortening contractions and are fundamental to locomotion. Although SSC mechanics are well studied, it remains unclear whether mechanical cycle-to-cycle carryover effects persist across repeated...

Deep learning approaches to predict femoral neck T-score and osteopenia/osteoporosis status from wrist accelerometry data

Osteoporosis is a prevalent condition with substantial health and economic implications. Although physical activity is associated with bone health, the specific temporal activity patterns related to bone mineral status remain insufficiently understood. This proof-of-concept study...
