• Running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness and amplifies impact loading 

  Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Kosonen, Jukka; Nurminen, Jussi; Avela, Janne (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)

  Running shoe cushioning has become a standard method for managing impact loading and consequent injuries due to running. However, despite decades of shoe technology developments and the fact that shoes have become ...

• Work-related biomechanical exposure and job strain in midlife separately and jointly predict disability after 28 years: a Finnish longitudinal study 

  K.C., Prakash; Neupane, Subas; Leino-Arjas, Päivi; von Bonsdorff, Mikaela; Rantanen, Taina; von Bonsdorff, Monika; Seitsamo, Jorma; Ilmarinen, Juhani; Nygård, Clas-Håkan (Nordic Association of Occupational Safety and Health NOROSH, 2017)

  Objectives We investigated whether the extent of biomechanical exposures and job strain in midlife separately and jointly predict disability in old age. Methods Participants of the Finnish Longitudinal Study on Aging ...

• Greater maintenance of bone mineral content in male than female athletes and in sprinting and jumping than endurance athletes : a longitudinal study of bone strength in elite masters athletes 

  Ireland, Alex; Mittag, Uwe; Degens, Hans; Felsenberg, Dieter; Ferretti, José L.; Heinonen, Ari; Koltai, Erika; Korhonen, Marko T.; McPhee, Jamie S.; Mekjavic, Igor; Piasecki, Jessica; Pisot, Rado; Radak, Zsolt; Simunic, Bostjan; Suominen, Harri; Wilks, Désirée C.; Winwood, Keith; Rittweger, Jörn (Springer, 2020)

  We investigated longitudinal changes in tibia bone strength in master power (jumping and sprinting) and endurance (distance) athletes of both sexes. Bone mass but not cross-sectional moment of inertia was better maintained ...
