The underlying mechanisms and the impact of walking speed on interplane balance control coordination remain unclear. The current study aimed to develop a novel analytical framework for quantifying the sagittal and frontal interplane coordination of center of mass (COM)-center of pressure (COP) control and its variabilities during level walking via continuous relative phase (CRP) angles and to study the walking speed effects. Fifteen young adults walked at PWS, slower and faster, whereas the COM-COP inclination angles (IAs) and their rates of change (RCIA) were measured to calculate interplane CRP patterns. The deviation phases (DP) of CRP curves quantified the variability of interplane coordination. The interplane balance control coordination and variability were significantly influenced by walking speed, with minimum DP values occurring during double limb support at PWS. Walking at one's PWS represents the best compromise for minimizing control variability between the sagittal and frontal planes. This novel approach highlights the role of interplane balance control variability in determining PWS in young adults and emphasizes the importance of monitoring these variables for fall risk assessment.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> The current study described a novel approach based on continuous relative phase analysis to quantify the interplane coordination of balance control during gait in young adults.

Previous work on the underlying mechanisms that dictate variable gearing suggests that the mechanical properties of intramuscular and extracellular connective tissue can act to constrain muscle bulging and gearing ability. However, it remains unclear whether increased muscle compliance can confer improved gearing ability. Recent work in pregnant and lactating rats suggests adaptations in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle that may influence variable gearing ability and overall function. Here, we used in situ muscle preparations in rats to characterize the range of architectural gear ratios (AGR = muscle velocity/fascicle velocity), force-length properties, and force-velocity properties of isolated gastrocnemii to test the hypothesis that gearing ability improves during pregnancy and lactation. We found that pregnant and lactating rats exhibit a significantly wider range of AGRs and a steeper linear relationship between AGR and muscle force, suggesting an improved ability to fine-tune fiber contractile dynamics to force level during dynamic muscle contractions. This improved gearing ability is underpinned by longer muscle fascicles in pregnant and lactating rats, which have broader implications on in vivo force-velocity dynamics during locomotion. We conclude that young female rats are a viable biological system that naturally varies in gearing ability across different reproductive stages without differences in relative muscle stiffness.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Musculoskeletal remodeling in the medial gastrocnemius of pregnant and lactating rats suggests adaptations that may influence variable gearing ability.

Despite the demonstrated efficacy, safety, and wide availability of naloxone (NAL), opioid-involved OD fatalities remain high. This suggests our understanding of the negative integrated physiological effects of fentanyl remains incomplete, and highlights the need to develop additional novel countermeasures. Here we tested whether the physiological and behavioral effects of intravenous fentanyl in adult female goats (<i>n</i> = 12) could be mitigated with NAL or the potential countermeasure d-cysteine ethyl ester (d-CYSee). As hypothesized, intravenous injections of high doses (HD) fentanyl caused immediate ventilatory suppression via reduced breathing frequency leading to hypoventilation and hypoxemia (≥10 min). HD fentanyl elicited immediate and sustained (≥90 min) increases in diaphragm, intercostal, abdominal, and laryngeal constrictor muscle activity along with an increased alveolar to arterial oxygen (A-a O<sub>2</sub>) gradient and hypertension. Intravenous NAL administered immediately following HD fentanyl mitigated most of these effects except the increased activation of respiratory pump and airway muscles. In contrast, d-CYSee administration immediately following HD fentanyl countered the initial hypoventilation but did not mitigate the increases in muscle activation and persistent hypoxemia. Neither treatment prevented acute withdrawal-like behaviors emerging >90 min after fentanyl administration. The data suggest that there are physiological effects of HD fentanyl that are NAL-insensitive, and d-CYSee can transiently normalize blood gases and counter opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) in adult goats.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Here we determined whether any of the deleterious physiological effects of high-dose fentanyl could be countered by naloxone and/or d-cysteine ethyl ester (d-CYSee) in adult goats. Fentanyl induced hypoventilation and sustained increases in respiratory and airway muscle activity and hypoxemia. Naloxone reversed all fentanyl effects except tonic muscle activation, and d-CYSee reversed fentanyl-induced hypoventilation. These data suggest some effects of fentanyl are naloxone-insensitive and that d-CYSee may be a valuable countermeasure for OIRD.</p>","PeriodicalId":15160,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied physiology","volume":" ","pages":"689-701"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13507957/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148561949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
