The study tests how muscle mechanics relate to metabolic energy expenditure in human running and hopping across different step frequencies.

This study shows that increasing ankle angle shortens soleus muscle fascicles and increases metabolic energy expenditure during cyclic contractions, independent of mechanical work or force rate.

This study examines whether carbon fiber plates in shoe soles improve running economy by analyzing biomechanics and energy expenditure in athletes.

This study uses ultrasound imaging to show that exoskeleton stiffness affects soleus muscle dynamics and metabolic rate during walking, with optimal savings at 50 Nm rad-1.
