Kalakoutis M, Pollock R, Lazarus N, Atkinson R, George M, Berber O, et al.
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2023 May; 325(1):C172-C185. PMID: 37212546
Specific force (SF) has been shown to be reduced in some but not all studies of human aging using chemically skinned single muscle fibers. This may be due, in part,...

West T, Curtin N, Woledge R
J Muscle Res Cell Motil . 2022 Nov; 44(3):193-199. PMID: 36422773
Videos of free swimming of catsharks (Scyliorhinus canicula) were analysed to give values of swimming speed (units: FL (fish lengths) s), stride-length (forward movement in the direction of travel per...

Kalakoutis M, Di Giulio I, Douiri A, Ochala J, Harridge S, Woledge R
Acta Physiol (Oxf) . 2021 Jul; 233(3):e13719. PMID: 34286921
Chemically skinned fibres allow the study of human muscle contractile function in vitro. A particularly important parameter is specific force (SF), that is, maximal isometric force divided by cross-sectional area,...

Curtin N, Woledge R, West T, Goodwin D, Piercy R, Wilson A
J Exp Biol . 2019 Jun; 222(Pt 13). PMID: 31221738
Active muscle performs various mechanical functions during locomotion: work output during shortening, work absorption when resisting (but not preventing) lengthening, and impulse (force-time integral) whenever there is active force. The...

Wilson A, Hubel T, Wilshin S, Lowe J, Lorenc M, Dewhirst O, et al.
Nature . 2018 Jan; 554(7691):183-188. PMID: 29364874
The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both...

Tu S, Woledge R, Morrissey D
J Bodyw Mov Ther . 2016 Nov; 20(4):898-905. PMID: 27814872
Background: Changes in thoracolumbar fascial thickness, structure and shear strain are associated with lower back pain (LBP). Therapeutic taping techniques such as Kinesio-Taping (KT) are increasingly used to treat LBP,...

Curtin N, Diack R, West T, Wilson A, Woledge R
J Exp Biol . 2015 Jul; 218(Pt 18):2856-63. PMID: 26206354
Skinned fibres have advantages for comparing the muscle properties of different animal species because they can be prepared from a needle biopsy taken under field conditions. However, it is not...

Chaudhry S, Morrissey D, Woledge R, Bader D, Screen H
J Appl Biomech . 2014 Oct; 31(2):69-78. PMID: 25322475
Triceps surae eccentric exercise is more effective than concentric exercise for treating Achilles tendinopathy, however the mechanisms underpinning these effects are unclear. This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of eccentric...

Song W, Vikhorev P, Kashyap M, Rowlands C, Ferenczi M, Woledge R, et al.
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol . 2013 Apr; 304(11):H1513-24. PMID: 23604709
We compared the contractile performance of papillary muscle from a mouse model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [α-cardiac actin (ACTC) E99K mutation] with nontransgenic (non-TG) littermates. In isometric twitches, ACTC E99K papillary...

West T, Toepfer C, Woledge R, Curtin N, Rowlerson A, Kalakoutis M, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2013 Apr; 216(Pt 15):2974-82. PMID: 23580727
Muscle samples were taken from the gluteus, semitendinosus and longissimus muscles of a captive cheetah immediately after euthanasia. Fibres were 'skinned' to remove all membranes, leaving the contractile filament array...
