• Passive force enhancement in striated muscle 

  Herzog, Walter (Kinesiology, Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary, 2019-06-01)

  Passive force enhancement is defined as the increase in passive, steady-state, isometric force of an actively stretched muscle compared with the same muscle stretched passively to that same length. Passive force enhancement ...

• Chronic uphill and downhill exercise protocols do not lead to sarcomerogenesis in mouse skeletal muscle 

  Morais, Gustavo Paroschi; da Rocha, Alisson Luiz; Neave, Louise M.; de Araújo Lucas, Guilherme; Leonard, Timothy R.; Carvalho, Andrea; Silva, Adelino S. R.; Herzog, Walter (Journal of Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary, University of São Paulo, University of British Columbia, 2019-11-05)

  It has been suggested that eccentric contraction (EC) is associated with increases in serially-arranged sarcomeres (sarcomerogenesis), while concentric contraction (CC) has been associated with serial sarcomeres decrease. ...

• Reflex Responses of Neck, Back, and Limb Muscles to High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Manual Cervical and Upper Thoracic Spinal Manipulation of Asymptomatic Individuals—A Descriptive Study 

  Gorrell, Lindsay M.; Conway, Philip J. W.; Herzog, Walter (Elsevier (Firm), Arts, Kinesiology, Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary, https://www.elsevier.com/journals/learning-and-instruction/0959-4752/guide-for-authors, 2019-10-01)

  Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the extent of reflex responses after spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) of the cervical and upper thoracic spine. Methods: Eleven asymptomatic participants received ...

• On sarcomere length stability during isometric contractions before and after active stretching 

  Johnston, Kaleena; Moo, Engkuan; Jinha, Azim; Herzog, Walter (Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2019-11-27)

  Sarcomere length (SL) instability and SL non-uniformity have been used to explain fundamental properties of skeletal muscles, such as creep, force depression following active muscle shortening and residual force enhancement ...

• The natural initiation and progression of osteoarthritis in the anterior cruciate ligament deficient feline knee 

  Leumann, Andrè G.; Leonard, Timothy R.; Nüesch, Corina; Horisberger, Monika; Mündermann, Annegret; Herzog, Walter (Kinesiology, Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary, 2019-04)

  The aim of this study was to document the natural history of development and long-term progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in the feline knee after minimally-invasive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection.

• The mechanical and biochemical properties of tail tendon in a rat model of obesity: effect of moderate exercise and prebiotic fibre supplementation 

  Rios, Jaqueline Lourdes; Ko, Loretta; Joumaa, Venus; Liu, Shuyue; Diefenthaeler, Fernando; Sawatsky, Andrew; Hart, David A.; Reimer, Raylene A.; Herzog, Walter (Kinesiology, Human Performance Lab, University of Calgary, 2019-05-09)

  The worldwide trajectory of increasing obesity rates is a major health problem precipitating a rise in the prevalence of a variety of co-morbidities and chronic diseases. Tendinopathy, in weight and non-weight bearing ...
