TTN genotype is associated with fascicle length and marathon running performance [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2017
Titin provides a molecular blueprint for muscle sarcomere assembly, and sarcomere length can vary according to titin isoform expression. If variations in sarcomere length influence muscle fascicle length, this may provide an advantage for running performance. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the titin (TTN) rs10497520 polymorphism

The effects of soleus fascicle length on muscle fatigability [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Age-related deficits in Achilles tendon stiffness have been linked to shorter calf muscle operating lengths. These shorter lengths have the potential to precipitate higher requisite excitations and thereby an earlier onset of local ...

In vivo gastrocnemius muscle fascicle length in children with and without diplegic cerebral palsy [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2007
The effect of spastic cerebral palsy on in vivo gastrocnemius muscle fascicle length is not clear. Similarity of fascicle lengths in children with diplegia and typically developing children, but shortening of fascicle lengths in the paretic legs of children with hemiplegia compared with the non‐paretic legs, are both reported.

Intramuscular fibre conduction velocity and muscle fascicle length in human vastus lateralis

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 2019
Muscle fascicle length and muscle fibre conduction velocity (MFCV) are thought to be important parameters for power performance. It might be expected that faster muscle fibre conduction velocities would compensate for longer fascicle lengths to increase the speed of action potential propagation along the elongated fibres.

Reproducibility of fascicle length and pennation angle of gastrocnemius medialis in human gait in vivo

Gait & Posture, 2010
The purpose of the current study was to examine the reproducibility of fascicle length and pennation angle of gastrocnemius medialis while human walking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the reproducibility of fascicle length and pennation angle of gastrocnemius medialis in vivo during human gait.

Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different

The Anatomical Record
Abstract Fascicle length is a key anatomical variable used to estimate functional adaptations of muscles. Although a recent study concluded that the fascicles measured on different specimens using in situ measurement and chemical dissection yield results that are not significantly different, these two methods have not been ...

Sprint performance is related to muscle fascicle length in male 100-m sprinters

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2000
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between muscle fascicle length and sprint running performance in 37 male 100-m sprinters. The sample was divided into two performance groups by the personal-best 100-m time: 10.00–10.90 s (S10; n = 22) and 11.00–11.70 s (S11; n = 15).
