[HTML][HTML] Assessment of skeletal muscle contractile properties by radial displacement: the case for tensiomyography

…, AM Hunter, C Orizio, MM Fairweather, M Ditroilo - Sports Medicine, 2018 - Springer
Skeletal muscle operates as a near-constant volume system; as such muscle shortening
during contraction is transversely linked to radial deformation. Therefore, to assess …
