Beyond Hill-Type Models: Aligning Experiments and Modeling to Understand Dynamic Muscle Function
Muscle models underpin how exercise, rehabilitation, and human-movement sciences infer muscle force during activity, yet profound gaps remain between traditional measures and models of muscle function and the dynamic features of muscle i...

Heart Rate Variability DFA a1: From Lab to Consumer Exercise Prescription and Monitoring
Detecting exercise intensity thresholds is key for optimizing endurance training prescriptions for performance and recovery. Over the past several years an index of heart rate variability representing fractal correlation properties (DFA ...

Exogenous Carbohydrate Metabolism Under Energy Deficit and Environmental Stress
Physiological stress of environmental exposure and energy deficit impairs the absorption, transport, and utilization of exogenous carbohydrate for fuel during exercise. Blunted exogenous carbohydrate oxidation may require alternative fue...

The stretch-shortening cycle effect: History-dependent muscle properties matter
The SSC effect – increased force, work, and power during shortening of stretch-shortening cycles compared with shortening alone – has long been attributed to stretch reflexes, preactivation, elastic recoil, and muscle-tendon unit decoupl...

Exercise for Atrial Fibrillation: Unmasking Comorbidities and Improving Treatment
Atrial fibrillation is associated with significant symptoms, comorbidities, and shared pathophysiological features with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We propose that exercise testing, including cardiopulmonary exercise ...

Augmenting β2-adrenergic signaling during exercise to enhance anti-tumor immune function
Exercise is emerging as a powerful adjuvant therapy during cancer treatment, partly due to its immunomodulatory effects. However, the moderate to vigorous intensities required for optimal immune-boosting effects are a barrier for many pa...

Exercise Reinforcement: The Motivation to be Physically Active
Research is needed to understand how to motivate people to be active. There are wide individual differences in the reinforcing value of exercise, which predicts physical activity, and can be increased in sedentary adults. We include a co...

Integrating Astronomical Seasonal Phase into Physical Activity Research
Seasonal phase variation, characterized as a sinusoidal waveform anchored at the annual solstices, can be positively associated with both between- and within-person differences in physical activity in observational, longitudinal, and exp...
