I could use help PTs and muscle testing folks! Do you have any load cell recommendations to be used in a gym setting that allows real-time force feedback? The goal is to use it for knee extension training so it's even better if the feedback is easily viewable (monitor or app).

This #Opinion article from Matthew J. Fogarty (Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering, @MayoClinic) considers the concept of 'mild motor impairment '- a "harbinger of sarcopenia and frailty".

@skppowers I'm continually surprised by the prevalence of within-subject designs for comparing high and low load. Cross-education is real and it is optimized at higher intensities. There is likely a transfer effect+local training effect for the low load leg unlike the high load leg.

Neat story on two of my awesome undergrad researchers! The sky is the limit for these two.

[Kennesaw State University Research @KSUresearch]

KSU seniors Kaden Buford & Kayla Anderson are leading undergrad research in exercise science, earning top honors for studies on muscle fatigue & mental imagery! Their work is shaping the future of the field.

Really happy to see the first study from my PhD now published in JCSM! Thanks to everyone involved who helped make this happen 🌟 Have a read if you are interested in sex hormones and muscle ageing 💪https://t.co/JaRaEBpZfC

@MarcusDGon @GI_Pearls Longitudinal studies should show greater declines, but this is part of the reason sarcopenia has evolved to include muscle strength. If DEXA was predominantly used in these, true muscle mass is being missed

[Daniel Berglind, PhD @DanielBerglind]

Muscle power 💥(ability to produce force fast) is more important than strength 💪in preventing falls in older adults👵: https://t.co/C403mRamS1
