DOI: 10.1007/s00421-022-04905-7
Abstract: When rate of force development is increased, neural drive increases. There is presently no accepted explanation for this effect. We propose and experimentally test the theory that a small increase in rate of force development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-46525-w
Abstract: We investigated the mechanical unfolding of single spectrin molecules over a broad range of loading rates and thus unfolding forces by combining magnetic tweezers with atomic force microscopy. We find that the mean unfolding force… read more here.

DOI: 10.1123/ijspp.2024-0290
Abstract: PURPOSE Athletes who perform faster changes of direction (CODs) often exhibit superior leg strength, jumping performance, and linear sprint performance. However, these abilities only partially correlate with COD deficit (CODD), and relying solely on correlation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00115.2022
Abstract: Maximal rate of force development in adult humans is determined by the maximal motor unit discharge rate, however the origin of the underlying synaptic inputs remains unclear. Here, we tested a hypothesis that the maximal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00330.2019
Abstract: The ability to produce rapid forces requires quick motor unit recruitment, high motor unit discharge rates, and fast motor unit force twitches. The relative importance of these parameters for maximum rate of force development (RFD),… read more here.
