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: 10.1152/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.

DOI: 10.1177/1557988319828622
Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between peak force and rate of force development (RFD) obtained from maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) of the back muscles and the power produced during a loaded lifting task. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1249/jes.0000000000000306
Abstract: The rate of force development varies greatly across individuals. In the present review, we discuss the neuromechanical factors that explain this variability. The rate at which an individual can develop force during rapid voluntary contractions… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2021.654443
Abstract: Brief submaximal actions are important for wide range of functional movements. Until now, rate of force development and relaxation scaling factor (RFD-SF and RFR-SF) have been used for neuromuscular assessment using 100–120 isometric pulses which… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jfmk7010017
Abstract: Plyometric training on sand is suggested to result in advanced performance in vertical jumping. However, limited information exists concerning the biomechanics of drop jumps (DJ) on sand. The purpose of the study was to compare… read more here.
