The paper evaluates a musculoskeletal model to estimate muscle force- and work-related costs during uphill and downhill walking, finding they correlate with joint moments and net joint work, respectively.

This study shows that cyclists select cadences to minimize muscle activation rather than energy cost, with saddle height affecting cadence choices.

This paper introduces a time-dependent mechano-bioenergetics model of muscle contraction that captures ATP regeneration and recovery costs, validated across multiple contractile conditions.

This study uses a 3D musculoskeletal model to analyze how hindlimb posture affects tendon stress and energy storage in hopping kangaroos, revealing posture-mediated elastic energy savings.

This study examines how neural control and mechanical demands affect energy use in skeletal muscle during dorsiflexion contractions.

This study uses physiologically-based muscle models to predict in vivo skeletal muscle energetics and finds they capture general features but underpredict energetic cost magnitude.

This study uses musculoskeletal modeling to investigate how cycling power and cadence affect muscle energetics and active volume, finding that minimizing active muscle volume aligns with self-selected cadence.

This study investigates whether accentuated eccentric loading improves jump performance by increasing ground reaction force and elastic energy storage, finding no significant increase in force or jump height.
