@MonteA_biomech
🔬Assistant professor (in TT) 🤔Intrigued by muscle and tendon mechanics and how they affect the physiological responses during movements.
Would you like to conduct world-leading research to understand how changes in spinal cord function (esp. persistent inward currents) affect “central fatigue” in athletic or clinical populations? Our team, including Prof Janet Taylor, @clatella1 and a host of...

🚨New article from our lab!🚨 -Previous short-term disuse dictates muscle gene expression and physiological adaptations to subsequent resistance exercise- A true collaborative effort! (see the thread below for more) Now out in @JPhysiol physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
🚨 Happy to share the first paper of @BizetB_Biomech If you are interested in facile tracking, this article is for you. 👉 We prepared a semi-automatic tracking script able to extrapolate fascicle length taking into account the curvature sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Last week, I attended the 1st Winter School of the National PhD Programme in Kinesiology and Sport Sciences at #Verona. 💡 Inspiring keynote by Prof. Marco Narici on muscle morphology and mechanics. 🎤 Presented my PhD project on ultrasound & RF techniques. #PhD #SportScience
🚨 our last article about the effect of glycated haemoglobin on knee joint #cartilage is now ready 😍 👉Work in collaboration with @Ostravska_Uni and @UniOulu link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Out now in @RSocPublishing!😍 @Luca_L_Ruggiero @AlbertoMinetti @GasparePavei. Most times we walk, we do it for short bouts. At what metabolic cost? More than we expected. @guardian: bit.ly/4eS51Fi @TheTimes_UK: bit.ly/3BOC2TZ #ProcB: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…
A nice day spent at @UniVerona Sports Science section with Massimo Venturelli’s group teaching the fundamentals of muscle ultrasound for a collaboration on a very cool study. Great to see my good friend @MonteA_biomech too, and catch up -> new stuff on eccentric exercise soon!
Undergoing a period in Verona under the supervision of @MonteA_biomech, with the amazing Paola Zamparo’s research group. Learning techniques and strengthening the collaboration between the Italian and the Australian groups. @TonyBlazevich. 🇮🇹🇦🇺+
🚨New paper about the role of pennation angle and gearing during different contraction types. Happy for this collaboration with @BasVanHooren , @TonyBlazevich and Peer Aagaard For details 👇👇👇
Did you know our muscles have gears? In a new FREE paper we show that muscles are less able to benefit from this gear (architectural gearing) in isometric vs dynamic contractions We discuss implications for the assessment of RFD, transfer, and more onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…
🚨 Fully-funded 3-year PhD Studentship. 👉 The position is associated with a research project entitled: " Effects of the menstrual cycle on muscle and tendon mechanics, neuromuscular control, and locomotor capacity in female athletes". More info 👇 biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch-l…
Big news… 🤩🤩we are recruiting!! If you are interested to join us contact me or Prof. Bottinelli. Assistant/Associate Professor in Physiology at the University of Pavia nature.com/naturecareers/… @APSPhysiology @ThePhySoc @E_C_S_S @ACSMNews
🚨 new article about the characterization of the in vivo responses of the femoral cartilage 👉We used RF ultrasound data Thanks to my great friend @MVFranchi for the collaboration. Stay tuned 😉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
First of al long series with my dear friend @MVFranchi
This was fun with @MonteA_biomech ! Quantitative ultrasound can identify transient changes in cartilage- New in SJMSS -Characterization of the in vivo transient responses of the femoral cartilage by means of quantitative ultrasound imaging techniques- onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Christmas present by @E_C_S_S 🎁 Our invited session has been accepted for the upcoming ecss. 👉 Energetics and mechanics of human locomotion: insights from a muscle and tendon perspective Thank you very much to @BeBiomech and Sebastian Bhom See you there 😁☺️
