DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2018.02.010
Abstract: There appears a linear relationship between small increases in running speed and cardiovascular health benefits. Encouraging or coaching recreational runners to increase their running speed to derive these health benefits might be more effective if… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110640
Abstract: The motion of the swing leg of elite sprinters at maximum speed is markedly different from that of slower sprinters, but the mechanisms by which this difference influences performance are unknown. The aim of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15502783.2025.2550178
Abstract: ABSTRACT Purpose This study examined the test-retest reliability of heart-rate- (HR) and rating-of-perceived-exertion- (RPE) derived running-speed thresholds (RS_thr) in trained men. Methods Fourteen healthy, aerobically trained men (20.6 ± 1.9 y; VO₂peak 50.5 ± 7.8 mL·kg−1 ·min−1) performed a graded-exercise… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwaf236.146
Abstract: The dose-response relationship between physical activity characteristics, cardiopulmonary fitness and mortality are well-established, but the relationship between running characteristics and long-term outcomes in recreational athletes remains largely unknown. We investigated associations between absolute and relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaa078
Abstract: Arboreal ants must navigate variably sized and inclined linear structures across a range of substrate roughness when foraging tens of meters above the ground. To achieve this, arboreal ants use specialized adhesive pads and claws… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2017.0230
Abstract: Limited available information describes how running-specific prostheses and running speed affect the biomechanics of athletes with bilateral transtibial amputations. Accordingly, we quantified the effects of prosthetic stiffness, height and speed on the biomechanics of five… read more here.
