This is a pretty cool one! We did our best to provide a comprehensive guide for our in-vivo testing protocol

Amelia was interested in how variations in sex-hormones affect the repeated bout effect following damaging eccentric exercise. There was no difference in the response to muscle damage when females were in a low or high estradiol state. doi.org/10.5114/biol...

Performance fatigability on a constant-load dynamic task is greater in females with moderate-severity Parkinson’s disease than healthy-aging controls
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with self-reported fatigue. While fatigue is a disabling symptom, performance fati…

Serial sarcomerogenesis does not contribute to the initial repeated bout effect
Neuromuscular function is impaired following an unaccustomed bout of eccentric exercise. However, through the repeated bout effect (RBE), the muscle i…

The final piece of the puzzle for my PhD thesis, currently under review. We looked at the trajectory of age-related serial sarcomere loss across young (8 mo), middle-aged (20 mo), old (32 mo), and very old rats (36 mo) in 5 different muscles. A simple study but it provided a lot of cool insight!
Geoff Power@geoffpower.bsky.social · 2y agoWe investigated serial sarcomere loss as a contributor to the age-related loss of muscle mass across four aging timepoints SSN loss contributed to the loss of muscle mass. Increasing SSN is a target for improving muscle performance in old age. @hinksave.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
If you are looking to run longitudinal studies (training etc) on rodents, nerve cuffs and needles may be too invasive. Here is a great alternative! And it's made of LEGO
Avery Hinks@hinksave.bsky.social · 2y agoI've had a few people over the years ask about how to build my custom-made electrode holder for in-vivo mechanical testing of the rat plantar flexors. I've now made the building instructions (including STL files for 3D-printed parts) available on Figshare: doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

Geoff Power@geoffpower.bsky.social · 2y agoLatest from a lab colab: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A line of questioning wrt foot skin electrical stimulation on rate of force development
Electrical cutaneous stimulation of the foot sole does not enhance rate of torque development during maximal effort isometric plantarflexion in females
Rate of torque development (RTD) measures how rapidly one can generate torque and is crucial for balance and athletic performance. Fast RTD depends on…

At the single muscle fibre level, we found that aging amplifies shortening-induced residual force depression but does not change stretch-induced residual force enhancement. Check it out! 👇

Thanks #Csep2024 for a fantastic few days of science exchange and great conversations! Awesome meeting!! Congrats to @hinksave.bsky.social on making it to the grad student presentation finals. A masterclass on age related changes to muscle morphology and function. 💪🏻
