• Training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness affects tendon strain pattern during running 

      Werkhausen, Amelie; Cronin, Neil J.; Albracht, Kirsten; Paulsen, Gøran; Larsen, Askild V.; Bojsen-Møller, Jens; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: During the stance phase of running, the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enables the utilisation of elastic energy and allows beneficial contractile conditions for the triceps surae muscles. However, the effect ...
    • Using deep learning to generate synthetic B-mode musculoskeletal ultrasound images 

      Cronin, Neil J.; Finni, Taija; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background and objective Deep learning approaches are common in image processing, but often rely on supervised learning, which requires a large volume of training images, usually accompanied by hand-crafted labels. As ...
    • Validity of Force-Velocity Profiling Assessed With a Pneumatic Leg Press Device 

      Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Eythorsdottir, Ingrid Eir Thorp; Solberg, Paul André; Gløersen, Øyvind Nøstdahl; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Paulsen, Gøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent validity of force–velocity (FV) variables assessed across 5 Keiser leg press devices. Methods: A linear encoder and 2 independent force plates (MuscleLab devices) ...
    • Whole body vibration for chronic patellar tendinopathy: A randomized equivalence trial 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Herfert, Jürgen; Lampl, Katrin; Hecht, Stefan; Niebauer, Josef; Maffulli, Nicola; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) triggers anabolic responses in various tissues, including tendons, without requiring high force production. In this waitlist-controlled equivalence trial, we tested its clinical effectiveness ...
    • Whole-body vibration training induces hypertrophy of the human patellar tendon 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-15)
      Animal studies suggest that regular exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) induces an anabolic response in bone and tendon. However, the effects of this type of intervention on human tendon properties and its influence on ...
