Evaluating the "cost of generating force" hypothesis across frequency in human running and hopping

S. P. Allen, O. N. Beck, A. M. Grabowski

The study tests how muscle mechanics relate to metabolic energy expenditure in human running and hopping across different step frequencies.

Relatively Shorter Muscle Lengths Increase the Metabolic Rate of Cyclic Force Production

O. N. Beck, J. N. Schroeder, L. H. Trejo, J. R. Franz, G. S. Sawicki

This study shows that increasing ankle angle shortens soleus muscle fascicles and increases metabolic energy expenditure during cyclic contractions, independent of mechanical work or force rate.

Adding carbon fiber to shoe soles does not improve running economy: a muscle-level explanation

O. N. Beck, P. R. Golyski, G. S. Sawicki

This study examines whether carbon fiber plates in shoe soles improve running economy by analyzing biomechanics and energy expenditure in athletes.

Ultrasound imaging links soleus muscle neuromechanics and energetics during human walking with elastic ankle exoskeletons

R. W. Nuckols, T. J. M. Dick, O. N. Beck, G. S. Sawicki

This study uses ultrasound imaging to show that exoskeleton stiffness affects soleus muscle dynamics and metabolic rate during walking, with optimal savings at 50 Nm rad-1.
