They tested this method in a preclinical model of diabetes-induced HFpEF, focusing on blood flow changes in both the heart and the leg muscle. They found that in diabetic subjects, problems in ...

Researchers reveal the way our legs adapt to fast movements. When people hop at high speeds, key muscle fibers in the calf shorten rather than lengthen as forces increase, which they call 'negative ...

Human movements like hopping and running can be explained using a spring-mass model. In this model, the leg works like a ...
