Introduction: Age-induced inflexibility may lead to significant mobility impairments and declines in well-being. However, the relationship between the structural and mechanical properties of soft tissue and joint extensibility remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between flexibility, muscle tendon unit (MTU) stiffness, muscle ultrasound characteristics, muscle strength, and hamstring flexibility prediction in older males with hamstring inflexibility.

- - The study investigates the anaerobic fitness of elite amateur boxers and how various performance metrics, like peak power and punching frequency, relate to physiological responses such as heart rate and blood lactate levels.
- - Twelve male Olympic boxers underwent several tests, including cycling and treadmill exercises, revealing that performance indices from different anaerobic tests were generally not closely linked.
- - The findings indicate a complex relationship between aerobic and anaerobic capacities in elite boxers, suggesting that improvements in one does not necessarily correlate with the other.
