Isokinetic strength testing provides objective and reliable muscular performance data on elite tennis players; however, such data are not highly correlated with performance on a multiple-joint kinetic chain activity such as the tennis serve. In this brief review, an overview of the muscular performance characteristics generated through isokinetic testing for elite tennis players is presented. Application of population specific isokinetic strength profiles in specific populations for rehabilitation and performance enhancement is recommended.

Postmitotic skeletal muscle critically depends on tightly regulated protein degradation to maintain proteomic stability. Impaired macroautophagy/autophagy-lysosomal or ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation causes the accumulation of damaged proteins, ultimately accelerating muscle dysfunction with age. While studies have demonstrated the complementary nature of these systems, their interplay at the organism levels remains poorly understood.

Background: Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle fibers, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and reduced mobility. These conditions significantly affect patients' quality of life and impose a substantial burden on caregivers. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a relatively common NMD in children that presents in various types with varying degrees of severity.

Motor Neuron Diseases (MNDs), familial and sporadic, are progressive neurodegenerative disorders that, for an extended period in the past, were considered purely motor disorders. During the course of the disease, however, some patients exhibit concomitant non-motor signs; thus, MNDs are currently perceived as multisystem disorders. Assessment of non-motor symptoms is usually performed clinically, although laboratory tests can also be routinely used to objectively evaluate these symptoms.

The decline in estrogen levels is considered as a critical physiological alteration during post-menopause. Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are identified as major contributors to muscular fatty infiltration.

Introduction And Importance: Desmoid tumours typically arise in the abdomen and extremities. They are rare, originating from mesenchymal cells, with intra-abdominal desmoid tumours (DT) being even less common. While non-malignant and non-metastatic, they can be locally invasive, often necessitating surgical intervention for complete resection.
