Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle after spinal cord injury.
B. O. Biering-Sørensen,B. O. Biering-Sørensen,Ida Bruun Kristensen,Michael Kjaer,Fin Biering-Sørensen,Fin Biering-Sørensen +5 more
TL;DR: Future studies should longitudinally examine changes in muscles from early SCI until steady state is reached in order to determine optimal training protocols for maintaining skeletal muscle after paralysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential displacement of the human soleus and medial gastrocnemius aponeuroses during isometric plantar flexor contractions in vivo
Jens Bojsen-Møller,Philip Hansen,Per Aagaard,Ulla Svantesson,Michael Kjaer,S. Peter Magnusson +5 more
TL;DR: The amount and "direction" of shear between the aponeuroses differed significantly between the two positions across the entire range of contraction, indicating that the Achilles tendon may be exposed to intratendinous shear and stress gradients during human locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional blood flow during exercise in humans measured by near-infrared spectroscopy and indocyanine green.
Robert Boushel,Henning Langberg,Jens Lykkegaard Olesen,Markus Nowak,Lene Simonsen,Jens Bülow,Michael Kjaer +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first study using NIRS and ICG to quantify regional tissue blood flow during exercise in humans and, due to its high spatial and temporal resolution, the technique may be useful for determining regional blood flow distribution and regulation during Exercise in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon, in vivo
TL;DR: The present methodology of assessing human patellar tendon elongation, strain and stiffness, in vivo, is accurate and reproducible which permits its use in future investigations of patellAR tendon biomechanics and the potential effects of various interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of moderate exercise on postprandial glucose homeostasis in NIDDM patients
TL;DR: Postprandial exercise of moderate intensity decreases glycaemia and plasma insulin levels after breakfast in NIDDM patients, but this effect does not persist during and after the following lunch meal.
