  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Habitual foot strike pattern does not affect simulated triceps surae muscle metabolic energy consumption during running
    Wannes Swinnen, Wouter Hoogkamer, Friedl De Groote, Benedicte Vanwanseele
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb212449 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212449 Published 10 December 2019

    Summary: Simulated triceps surae muscle or whole-body metabolic energy consumption is not different between midfoot/forefoot and rearfoot strikers.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Tibialis anterior tendinous tissue plays a key role in energy absorption during human walking
    Jayishni N. Maharaj, Andrew G. Cresswell, Glen A. Lichtwark
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb191247 doi: 10.1242/jeb.191247 Published 4 June 2019

    Summary: The tendinous tissues of the tibialis anterior play a key role in absorbing mechanical energy as the foot contacts the ground, as well as helping to power rapid acceleration of the ankle into dorsiflexion to aid foot clearance during leg swing.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The influence of added mass on muscle activation and contractile mechanics during submaximal and maximal countermovement jumping in humans
    Logan Wade, Glen A. Lichtwark, Dominic J. Farris
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb194852 doi: 10.1242/jeb.194852 Published 16 January 2019

    Summary: Human jumping with added mass favours ankle work output because of enhanced contractile conditions of the calf muscles, resulting from an increased inertial resistance and interaction with an elastic tendon.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Elastic ankle muscle–tendon interactions are adjusted to produce acceleration during walking in humans
    Dominic James Farris, Brent James Raiteri
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4252-4260; doi: 10.1242/jeb.159749

    Summary: A novel mechanism is presented by which human ankle muscles use their elastic tendons to contribute mechanical work and produce acceleration during walking gait.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The role of human ankle plantar flexor muscle–tendon interaction and architecture in maximal vertical jumping examined in vivo
    Dominic James Farris, Glen A. Lichtwark, Nicholas A. T. Brown, Andrew G. Cresswell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 528-534; doi: 10.1242/jeb.126854

    Summary: Elastic power delivered from ankle muscle-tendons during jumping in humans is aided by energy storage against body weight and proximal-distal sequencing of limb action, but not variable mechanical advantage, which may explain our modest jumping ability.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Effects of running on human Achilles tendon length–tension properties in the free and gastrocnemius components
    Glen A. Lichtwark, Andrew G. Cresswell, Richard J. Newsham-West
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 4388-4394; doi: 10.1242/jeb.094219
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Differences in contractile behaviour between the soleus and medial gastrocnemius muscles during human walking
    Neil J. Cronin, Janne Avela, Taija Finni, Jussi Peltonen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 909-914; doi: 10.1242/jeb.078196
