New JAB research shows trained runners have better running economy on level ground, but not uphill—where elastic muscle–tendon interactions matter less. Runners relied more on ankle power without higher triceps surae activation. Read it for free here: doi.org/10.1123/jab.... #Running #Biomechanics

New JAB research compares marker‑based and markerless models during manual wheelchair propulsion, showing joint‑level differences but promising potential for clinical mobility assessment. 📹♿ Read it here: doi.org/10.1123/jab.... #Biomechanics #Rehab #WheelchairMobility

New JAB research shows that a constrained hallway markerless setup produces joint‑angle estimates highly comparable to a traditional lab, especially for standing and walking. Even sit‑to‑stand remained reliable across sites! Interested in markerless mocap? Read it here: doi.org/10.1123/jab....

New JAB research shows running faster increased rearfoot angle and excursion in collegiate cross‑country runners, with females showing greater knee adduction across speeds. 🏃🏃‍♀️💨💨 Read the ahead-of-print article, for free, here: doi.org/10.1123/jab.... #Running #Biomechanics #InjuryRisk #XC

We're #TUproud of our College of Health Professions grads! Those late-night study sessions were all worth it for this milestone and the ones yet to come!

Events you won't want to miss this week! Tiger Tuesday Bash with carnival rides and giveaways, a chance to destress with therapy dogs, movie screenings, end of semester celebrations, graduation events, and more: https://bit.ly/3P34CYD

New JAB research from @maastrichtu.bsky.social shows that gait parameters differ when treadmill speed is based on a 10‑m walk test versus self‑paced walking. 🚶🚶 Read the full study here: doi.org/10.1123/jab.... #Gait #Biomechanics #WalkingSpeed

New research from the Joint Department of BME at @ncstate.bsky.social & @uncchapelhill.bsky.social shows how foot structure shapes walking performance. Stronger toe flexors relate to greater 6‑minute walk distances, and shorter heels to faster walking speeds. Read it here: doi.org/10.1123/jab....

With Issue 2 now live, we’re wrapping up Issue 1 with a strong final highlight! New JAB research out of @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social investigates how TKA alignment strategies affect squatting mechanics. 🧎🦴 Check out the full article here: doi.org/10.1123/jab....

With the World Baseball Classic underway and MLB opening day near, this one is timely! ⚾ MRI data from Takahashi, Mutsuzaki, Iwamoto, et al. show that deeper external rotation leads to greater posterior humeral head translation and reduced posterior glenohumeral distance. doi.org/10.1123/jab....

Today we welcome Michael Samaan to our group of Associate Editors! He'll be working with Musculoskeletal Biomechanics submissions that head out for peer review. Based at the Univ. of Kentucky, his is co-chair of @acsm-big.bsky.social.

Join us in welcoming Boyi Dai to our group of Associate Editors! As a core faculty member of the University of Vermont Human Motion Analysis Laboratory, Professor Dai will handle manuscripts focused on sport biomechanics for JAB. #sportbiomechanics #appliedbiomechanics

New year, new editors, new research to share from the Journal of Applied Biomechanics! Our first 2026 issue features work by Pano‑Rodriguez, Ducas, Vadez, and Abboud on how DOMS alters median frequency patterns in the lumbar erector spinae.

We're about to kick off 2026 with a 🧨💥 Introducing our new Deputy Editor, Ross Miller, who joins Editor Jason Franz for the next two years! @rosshm16.bsky.social @franzbiomech.bsky.social @amsocbiomech.bsky.social #Biomechanics

New in JAB by Lukas Krumpl et al. ! High-intensity interval running acutely decreased plantar fascia thickness and stiffness, with recovery toward baseline after 30 minutes of rest. The results highlight the load-sensitive, viscoelastic response of the plantar fascia. doi.org/10.1123/jab....

Given all the recent buzz about how great ChatGPT has gotten, including its prowess with images, I figured I'd check in on its anatomical skills. Nope.

A new study by Ling Li et al. in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics shows that removing both vision and knowledge of landing height significantly alters landing mechanics and may raise ACL injury risk. Watch the video abstract to learn more! Check out the full article: doi.org/10.1123/jab....

What TUesdays look like around here. 🖤 💛 #TigerTUesday

No sleep, way too much coffee, and definitley a sweat stained suit… but it was all worth it for this week. First day of teaching as faculty, first first-author paper, and a successful dissertation defense. Dr. McCandless will be taking the long weekend for R&R, and then it's the tenure grind!

Please repost! We have an open rank, tenure-line faculty position in biomechanics in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. At U-M we have great colleagues, exceptional resources, and biomechanics can be found all across the campus. #BiomechSky
