The mechanism for efficacy of eccentric loading in Achilles tendon injury; an in vivo study in humans
Journal Article
Rees, J. D., Lichtwark, G. A., Wolman, R. L., & Wilson, A. M. The mechanism for efficacy of eccentric loading in Achilles tendon injury; an in vivo study in humans. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/ken262

Objective. Degenerative disorders of tendons present an enormous clinical challenge. They are extremely common, prone to recur and existing medical and surgical treatments are generally unsatisfactory. Recently eccentric, but not concentric, exercise...

Possible causes of divergent population trends in sympatric African herbivores
Journal Article
Bennitt, E., Hubel, T. Y., Bartlam-Brooks, H. L. A., & Wilson, A. M. (in press). Possible causes of divergent population trends in sympatric African herbivores. PLoS ONE, 14(3), e0213720. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0213720

Sympatric herbivores experience similar environmental conditions but can vary in their population trends. Identifying factors causing these differences could assist conservation efforts aimed at maintaining fully functional ecosystems. From 1996–2013...

External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse
Journal Article
Self Davies, Z. T., Spence, A. J., & Wilson, A. M. (in press). External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse. Biology Letters, 1, https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.0709

Horse locomotion is remarkably economical. Here, we measure external mechanical work of the galloping horse and relate it to published measurements of metabolic cost. Seven Thoroughbred horses were galloped (ridden) over force plates, under a racing... Read More about External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse.
