Despite\n                    growing recognition of its importance by major health organizations, significant\n                    knowledge gaps remain regarding skeletal muscle health and its crosstalk with\n                    nearly every physiological system. Relevant public health challenges like pain,\n                    injury, obesity, and sarcopenia underscore the need to accurately assess\n                    skeletal muscle health and function. Feasible, non-invasive techniques that\n                    reliably evaluate metrics including muscle pain, dynamic structure,\n                    contractility, circulatory function, body composition, and emerging biomarkers\n                    are imperative to unraveling the complexities of skeletal muscle. Our concise\n                    review highlights innovative or overlooked approaches for comprehensively\n                    assessing skeletal muscle in vivo. We summarize recent advances in\n                    leveraging dynamic ultrasound imaging, muscle echogenicity, tensiomyography,\n                    blood flow restriction protocols, molecular techniques, body composition, and\n                    pain assessments to gain novel insight into muscle physiology from cellular to\n                    whole-body perspectives. Continued development of precise, non-invasive tools to\n                    investigate skeletal muscle are critical in informing impactful discoveries in\n                    exercise and rehabilitation science.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2242-3226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T00:03:47Z","timestamp":1704931427000},"page":"659-671","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Innovations in the Assessment of Skeletal Muscle Health: A Glimpse\n                    into the Future"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Jonathan P.","family":"Beausejour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science, University\n                    of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevan S.","family":"Knowles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science, University\n                    of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abigail T","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science, University\n                    of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
