Power output and muscle myosin heavy chain composition in young and elderly men (2006)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Cobbold, M., Orrell, R., & Harridge, S. (2006). Power output and muscle myosin heavy chain composition in young and elderly men. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 38(9), 1601-1607. https://doi.org/10.1249/01.mss.0000227638.75983.9d

Purpose: Aging is associated with a decline in muscle volume, power output, and the velocity at which peak power (Vopt) occurs. The current study aimed to examine the relationship between lower-limb power output characteristics, muscle myosin heavy c...

Influence of time of day on tendon compliance and estimations of voluntary activation levels (2006)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., & Onambele, G. (2006). Influence of time of day on tendon compliance and estimations of voluntary activation levels. Muscle and Nerve, 33(6), 792-800. https://doi.org/10.1002/mus.20529

We investigated the importance of tendon stiffness on estimations of central activation capacity (CAC). Patella tendon-force elongation relationship, quadriceps torque, and response to 50-micros, 100-HZ electrical twitch doublets were studied at appr...
