📢 Question: Does eccentric strength training add sarcomeres in series BUT subtract sarcomeres in parallel? We (@bartbolsterlee, Paolo Tecchio, @BrentRaiteri) doubt this... See why in our commentary @JSHS_MedHealth on @MaxAndrews100 et al. (2024). OA: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm currently recruiting PhD students to work on a series of funded projects in lower limb musculoskeletal biomechanics. We have a great team, amazing facilities and QLD, Australia is the best place in the world to live. biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch-l… @ISBiomechanics @ISBSOFFICIAL

We're hiring! New NIH award to measure inertial effects of (in)active muscle. Collab w/ @AndrewBiewener & @WakelingLab . A graduate RA (PM me and apply via tinyurl.com/UMLAPPLBIOLPhD ) and Postdoc funds available: Ad at: tinyurl.com/KonowlabNIH - Please share and re-post widely!

@ArchaeoAshleigh Hi Ashleigh, I'm glad to see you like our work! In principle it's possible to make detailed FE models of joint systems with multiple muscles but in practice it's computationally quite challenging. See for example: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This is super impressive!! 😍 I do wonder how computationally expensive this will make a simulation if we used this approach for every muscle in a model? Anyone attempted that yet? If so - what computing specifications are needed for such a model?

New publication using anatomically constrained fiber tractography to measure the 3D architecture of the human subscapularis muscle in vivo. Valuable insights into muscle function and modeling. Check it out! #biomechanics #journalofbiomechanics doi.org/10.1016/j.jbio…

Another great paper by Brian Chow and the MUGgLE investigators. Much more to come!

The medial gastrocnemius and soleus, which are already large at birth, become even larger from infancy to 5 years of age. While differences were less substantive from 5 to 15 years of age, we still found evidence for asynchronicity of muscle growth.

Children's muscles must grow substantially to propel the growing body. But do all muscles grow at the same rate? We answered this question using data from >200 children (5-15 years) and infants. The answer? No! doi.org/10.1111/joa.13… @JAnatomy @neuraustralia @neuraimaging

@MickleKaren @ANZSB Awesome. So that's here: g.co/kgs/cYJNn9

For any @ANZSB members and friends at ISB, we’ll be having a casual gathering at HUB from 8pm this evening. Come join us for a drink 🍻🍷🍶

Hey @ANZSB , there are rumours about an Aussie/NZ social event tonight in Fukuoka for ISB. Can the location and time be shared here? Thanks!

Dear friends attending @ISB2023 My friend who lives in Fukuoka is kindly listing the restaurants he loves for me and you. If need more, I'll try to post more. But my poster is not finished yet, so you'll have to wait a bit ... Enjoy Japan! docs.google.com/document/d/1Ds… #ISB2023
