Assessment of Lower Limb Muscle Volume Using 3D Ultrasonography: Validity and Reliability Compared to MRI Open
Introduction Muscle volume is a key indicator of strength and neuromuscular health, commonly assessed via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). While accurate, MRI is expensive and time-intensive. Three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) offer…

Open hand vs. half-crimp: Do climbers assume differences in their own maximal finger strength that do not exist? Open
Many climbers believe that they are stronger in crimp finger position than in open hand position. However, the crimp grip is associated with higher pulley forces, increasing the risk of finger injuries. If a climber turns out not to be str…

Sequential use of low-load-blood-flow-restricted vs. high-load resistance training on neuromuscular activation, hypertrophy and neuromuscular performance Open
Introduction Low-load Blood Flow Restriction training (BFRT) is a viable alternative to high-load resistance training (HLT), especially for clinical populations, due to its lower mechanical tension (Centner et al., 2019). Despite using low…
