His primary areas of investigation include Anatomy, Isometric exercise, Skeletal muscle, Muscle contraction and Sarcomere. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Force length, Contraction and Biomedical engineering. His Isometric exercise research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Muscle activation and Cardiology.

His Skeletal muscle research integrates issues from Muscle shortening, Mechanics, Electric stimulation and Eccentric. The Muscle contraction study combines topics in areas such as Surgery and Vastus medialis. His Sarcomere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Single fiber, Biophysics, Knee extensors and Myofilament.

His most cited work include:

  • Model-based estimation of muscle forces exerted during movements (632 citations)
  • Biomechanics of the musculo-skeletal system (466 citations)
  • Asymmetries in ground reaction force patterns in normal human gait. (398 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Walter Herzog spends much of his time researching Anatomy, Isometric exercise, Sarcomere, Biophysics and Skeletal muscle. His Anatomy research includes elements of Knee Joint and Biomedical engineering. His Isometric exercise research incorporates elements of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Active muscle, Contraction and Eccentric.

His Physical medicine and rehabilitation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Physical therapy and Biomechanics. His study in Sarcomere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Myosin, Myofilament, Protein filament and Myofibril. His Cartilage study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Osteoarthritis, Articular cartilage, Composite material and Matrix.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (35.80%)
  • Isometric exercise (19.97%)
  • Sarcomere (17.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Sarcomere (17.46%)
  • Anatomy (35.80%)
  • Isometric exercise (19.97%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Sarcomere, Anatomy, Isometric exercise, Biophysics and Osteoarthritis. Walter Herzog combines subjects such as Myosin, Myofibril, Muscle contraction and Skeletal muscle with his study of Sarcomere. His Anatomy research incorporates themes from Electromyography and Rabbit model.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tendon, Active muscle, Contraction, Eccentric and Mechanics. His work deals with themes such as Muscle force, Protein filament and Stiffness, which intersect with Biophysics. His Osteoarthritis research includes themes of Internal medicine, Obesity, Knee Joint, Anterior cruciate ligament and Cartilage.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Musculoskeletal Disease: Common Inflammatory Pathways Suggest a Central Role for Loss of Muscle Integrity (85 citations)
  • A High-Fat High-Sucrose Diet Rapidly Alters Muscle Integrity, Inflammation and Gut Microbiota in Male Rats (54 citations)
  • Residual Force Enhancement Following Eccentric Contractions: A New Mechanism Involving Titin. (50 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Anatomy
  • Surgery

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sarcomere, Isometric exercise, Muscle contraction, Biophysics and Titin. His work carried out in the field of Sarcomere brings together such families of science as Tendon, Anatomy, Skeletal muscle and Myofibril. The various areas that Walter Herzog examines in his Anatomy study include Osteoarthritis, Electromyography and Knee Joint.

His research in Isometric exercise intersects with topics in Concentric, Contraction, Active muscle, Eccentric and Mechanics. His studies in Muscle contraction integrate themes in fields like Single muscle, Masters athletes, Simulation, Muscle mechanics and Myosin. His studies in Biophysics integrate themes in fields like Work, Muscle force, Protein filament and Muscle stretched.
