Hortobagyi T, DeVita P
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci
. 2000 Aug;
55(8):B401-10.
PMID: 10952362
The metabolic, cardiovascular, and neural cost of eccentric muscle contraction is less than that of concentric contraction, but the strength and neural adaptations in eccentric contractions are significantly greater following...

DeVita P, Hortobagyi T
J Appl Physiol (1985)
. 2000 May;
88(5):1804-11.
PMID: 10797145
At self-selected walking speeds, elderly compared with young adults generate decreased joint torques and powers in the lower extremity. These differences may be actual gait-limiting factors and neuromuscular adaptations with...

Hortobagyi T, DeVita P
J Electromyogr Kinesiol
. 2000 Mar;
10(2):117-26.
PMID: 10699559
We have previously reported that elderly compared to young women executed downward stepping with substantially greater leg stiffness. Because antagonist muscle coactivity increases joint stiffness we hypothesized that increased leg...

Kovacs I, Tihanyi J, DeVita P, Racz L, Barrier J, Hortobagyi T
Med Sci Sports Exerc
. 1999 May;
31(5):708-16.
PMID: 10331892
Purpose: Sprinting, bouncing, and spontaneous landings are associated with a forefoot contact whereas walking, running, and jumping are associated with heel-toe foot placement. Because such foot placement strategies influence landing...

Hortobagyi T, DeVita P
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci
. 1999 Mar;
54(2):B63-70.
PMID: 10051852
One way the human neuromuscular system negotiates locomotory challenges is by stiffening the muscles and joints of a limb. Because aging reduces joint range of motion and muscle strength, the...

DeVita P, Lassiter Jr T, Hortobagyi T, Torry M
Am J Sports Med
. 1998 Dec;
26(6):778-84.
PMID: 9850778
The purpose of this study was to compare lower extremity joint kinematics and kinetics during walking with and without a functional knee brace in patients with recent anterior cruciate ligament...

DeVita P, Hortobagyi T, Barrier J
Med Sci Sports Exerc
. 1998 Oct;
30(10):1481-8.
PMID: 9789847
Purpose: Accelerated rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction surgery is designed to return injured people to athletic activities in approximately 6 months. The small amount of empirical...

DeVita P, Hortobagyi T, Barrier J, Torry M, Glover K, Speroni D, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc
. 1997 Jul;
29(7):853-9.
PMID: 9243483
Gait analyses of rehabilitated individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency and reconstruction have identified the final adaptations of increased hip extensor torque and hamstring electromyography (EMG) and decreased knee...

Hortobagyi T, Barrier J, Beard D, Braspennincx J, Koens P, DeVita P, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985)
. 1996 Oct;
81(4):1677-82.
PMID: 8904586
The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term strength and neural adaptations to eccentric and concentric training at equal force levels. Forty-two sedentary women (age = 21.5 yr)...

J Biomech
. 1996 May;
29(5):583-8.
PMID: 8707784
Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury use greater extensor torques at the hip and ankle and lower extensor torques and joint power at the knee during gait compared to...
