The Effects of Exergames on Muscle Architecture: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Muscle architectural parameters play a crucial role in the rate of force development, strength, and sports performance. On the other hand, deteriorated muscle architectural parameters are associated with injuries, sarcopenia, mortality, falls, and fragility. With the development of technology, exerg...
