Acute effects of long-lasting stretching and strength training on maximal strength and flexibility in the calf muscle
The so-called “stretch-induced force deficit” is known from a large amount of research. There are many theories trying to explain the stretch-induced...

Higher handgrip strength is linked to higher salience ventral attention functional network segregation in older adults
Converging evidence suggests that handgrip strength is linked to cognition in older adults, and this may be subserved by shared age-related changes...

A genome-wide association study identifies a locus associated with knee extension strength in older Japanese individuals
Sarcopenia is a common skeletal muscle disease in older people. Lower limb muscle strength is a good predictive value for sarcopenia; however, little...

Developmental programming–ageing effects in muscle strength of obese rat offspring in a sex-dependent manner
Maternal obesity programs the offspring to metabolic dysfunction. However, the effects of maternal obesity on skeletal muscle programming and ageing...

The Inferior Grain Filling Initiation Promotes the Source Strength of Rice Leaves
Poor grain-filling initiation in inferior spikelets severely impedes rice yield improvement, while photo-assimilates from source leaves can greatly...
