Ten years muscle-bone hypothesis: What have we learned so far? -Almost a Festschrift-
The importance of mechanical stimuli for bone is widely appreciated. Mechanostat theory proposes a negative feedback system to explain ...
Drop jumping. II. The influence of dropping height on the biomechanics of drop jumping
In the literature, athletes preparing for explosive activities are recommended to include drop jumping in their training programs. For ...
Principles in bone physiology
The view that nonmechanical agents dominate control of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and thus postnatal changes in bone strength and mass...
The benefit of combining non-mechanical agents with mechanical loading: a perspective based on the Utah Paradigm of Skeletal Physiology
The Utah Paradigm of Skeletal Physiology with its key component, the mechanostat hypothesis, suggest plausible explanations of some of ...
Musculoskeletal responses of 2-year-old Thoroughbred horses to early training. Conclusions
This paper summarises and presents in context the main findings of an extensive series of studies of early training lasting 13 weeks in...
From Wolff’s law to the Utah paradigm: insights about bone physiology and its clinical applications
Efforts to understand our anatomy and physiology can involve four often overlapping phases. We study what occurs, then how, then ask wh...
Coming changes in accepted wisdom about ‚osteoporosis‘
Here a voice from the past suggests 28 changes that will affect how people study, manage, classify and think about 'osteoporoses' today...
New targets for fascial, ligament and tendon research: a perspective from the Utah paradigm of skeletal physiology
Here an octogenarian voice from the past argues that the physiology of fascia, ligaments and tendons has strong and useful analogs in s...
Perspective: genetic and hormonal roles in bone disorders: insights of an updated bone physiology
In 1997 Professor J. Gorski suggested endocrinology needed new paradigms (Endocrine News 1997; 22:4,12). 'Connecting the dots' between ...
On the strength-safety factor (SSF) for load-bearing skeletal organs
The strength of healthy postnatal mammalian load-bearing bones, growth plates, joints, fascia, ligaments and tendons exceeds the minimu...
