Maximal sprinting in humans requires the contribution of various muscle–tendon units (MTUs) and joints to maximize performance. The plantar flexor MTU and ankle joint are of particular importance due to their role in applying force to the ground. This narrative review examines the contribution of the ankle joint and plantar flexor MTUs across the phases of sprinting (start, acceleration, and maximum

Background Findings from original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses have demonstrated the effectiveness of resistance training (RT) on markers of performance and health. However, the literature is inconsistent with regards to the dosage effects (frequency, intensity, time, type) of RT to maximize training-induced improvements. This is most likely due to moderating factors such as age

BACKGROUND Meniscal injuries are extremely common. Several anatomic features of the knee, including the tibial plateau morphology, have been shown to influence knee biomechanics and the risk of ligamentous injuries. Little is known, however, how these morphological features influence the risk of isolated meniscal injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-intact knee. HYPOTHESIS There are differences

The goal of the present study was to examine naturalistic associations between body satisfaction and physical activity (PA) among women in midlife. Women 40-60 years of age with cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., hypertension; N = 75; Mage = 51.63) responded to five surveys per day for 10 days while accelerometer-derived PA measurements were collected continuously. PA parameters included cognitive

BACKGROUND There are known anatomic variations that may lead to traumatic disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) identified within adult and adolescent patients. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to compare the parameters of pediatric knees diagnosed with and without an ACL injury by magnetic resonance imaging. The hypothesis was that children with ACL abnormalities would

BACKGROUND Surgical treatment options of discoid lateral meniscus in pediatric patients consist of saucerization with or without meniscal repair, meniscocapular stabilization, and, less often, subtotal meniscectomy. PURPOSE To describe a large, prospectively collected multicenter cohort of discoid menisci undergoing surgical intervention, and further investigate corresponding treatment of discoid menisci

BACKGROUND Adolescents who experience a patellar dislocation have an elevated risk of patellofemoral posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based T1ρ relaxation times were measured for adolescents to evaluate patellofemoral cartilage after patellar dislocation. Long T1ρ relaxation times are an indicator of cartilage degradation. HYPOTHESIS The primary hypothesis is that patellofemoral

BACKGROUND Bicortical suspension device (BCSD) fixation treats proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) instability in both the anterolateral and posteromedial directions. However, biomechanical data are lacking as to whether this technique restores the native stability and strength of the joint. PURPOSE To test (1) if BCSD fixation restores the native stability and strength and (2) if using 2 devices is

BACKGROUND Rotator cuff repair is a common orthopaedic procedure, yet the rate of failure to heal after surgery is high. Repair site rupture is due to poor tendon-to-bone healing and lack of regeneration of the native fibrocartilaginous enthesis. During development, the enthesis is formed and mineralized by a pool of progenitors activated by hedgehog signaling. Furthermore, hedgehog signaling drives

BACKGROUND An increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) is a proven risk factor for both native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ACL graft insufficiency. Anterior closing wedge high tibial osteotomy (ACW-HTO) for PTS correction is a validated procedure in revision ACL reconstruction (ACLR). PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined ACW-HTO and at least a second

BACKGROUND An undersized hamstring tendon (HT) autograft is significantly associated with a higher graft failure rate in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery. The ability to accurately predict inadequate HT graft diameter is critical, as it could assist surgeons in making better graft choices and surgical plans. PURPOSE To develop a web-based prediction tool to better assess the
