Baroni B, Rodrigues R, Franke R, Geremia J, Rassier D, Vaz M
Int J Sports Med . 2013 Mar; 34(10):904-11. PMID: 23526592
This study investigated the chronology of neural and morphological adaptations to knee extensor eccentric training and their contribution to strength gains in isometric, concentric and eccentric muscle actions. 20 male...

Labuda A, Brastaviceanu T, Pavlov I, Paul W, Rassier D
Rev Sci Instrum . 2011 Feb; 82(1):013701. PMID: 21280831
To date, commercial atomic force microscopes have been optimized for measurements of forces perpendicular to the sample surface. In many applications, sensitive parallel force measurements are desirable. These can be...

Joumaa V, Rassier D, Leonard T, Herzog W
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2007 Oct; 294(1):C74-8. PMID: 17928540
The aim of the present study was to test whether titin is a calcium-dependent spring and whether it is the source of the passive force enhancement observed in muscle and...

Joumaa V, Rassier D, Leonard T, Herzog W
Pflugers Arch . 2007 Jun; 455(2):367-71. PMID: 17551750
The purpose of this study was to gain further insight into passive force enhancement by testing whether passive force enhancement occurs in single myofibrils. Myofibrils (n = 6) isolated from...

Herzog W, Lee E, Rassier D
J Physiol . 2006 May; 574(Pt 3):635-42. PMID: 16709641
Residual force enhancement has been observed consistently in skeletal muscles following active stretching. However, its underlying mechanism(s) remain elusive, and it cannot be explained readily within the framework of the...

Borges G, Vaz M, De La Rocha Freitas C, Rassier D
J Sports Med Phys Fitness . 2003 Nov; 43(3):261-6. PMID: 14625504
Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the torque-velocity (T-V) relationship during concentric and eccentric contractions of the lower limb muscles in professional soccer players. Methods: Soccer players...

Rassier D
Clin Physiol . 2000 Dec; 20(6):474-82. PMID: 11100395
Fatigue is the decrease in active force that happens after repeated muscle stimulation, and post tetanic twitch potentiation (PTP) is the increase in twitch force observed after repeated muscle stimulation....

Rassier D, MacIntosh B
Braz J Med Biol Res . 2000 Apr; 33(5):499-508. PMID: 10775880
Twitch potentiation and fatigue in skeletal muscle are two conditions in which force production is affected by the stimulation history. Twitch potentiation is the increase in the twitch active force...

Rassier D, MacIntosh B
Can J Physiol Pharmacol . 2000 Apr; 78(4):350-7. PMID: 10772063
In skeletal muscle, there is a length dependence of staircase potentiation for which the mechanism is unclear. In this study we tested the hypothesis that abolition of this length dependence...

Rassier D, Tubman L, MacIntosh B
Braz J Med Biol Res . 1999 May; 32(1):121-9. PMID: 10347779
In disuse atrophied skeletal muscle, the staircase response is virtually absent and light chain phosphorylation does not occur. The purpose of the present study was to determine if staircase could...
