Looking Under the Hood of Elite Rowers: Skeletal Muscle Determinants of Rowing Performance. [PDF]

Scand J Med Sci Sports
ABSTRACT We aimed to identify the physiological and muscle characteristics associated with mean power output in the final stage of a rowing incremental test in elite rowers. Twenty‐two national level rowers (n = 9 female) completed the following assessments (i) a 7‐stage incremental rowing ergometer test to determine V̇O2peak, maximal muscle ...

Rate of force development relationships to muscle architecture and contractile behavior in the human vastus lateralis

Scientific Reports, 2022
In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (i) rate of force development (RFD) is correlated to muscle architecture and dynamics and that (ii) force–length–velocity properties limit knee extensor RFD.

Muscle Architecture Adaptations to Static Stretching Training: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Sports Medicine - Open, 2023
Background Long-term stretching of human skeletal muscles increases joint range of motion through altered stretch perception and decreased resistance to stretch. There is also some evidence that stretching induces changes in muscle morphology.

Gastrocnemius Medialis Contractile Behavior Is Preserved During 30% Body Weight Supported Gait Training

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
Rehabilitative body weight supported gait training aims at restoring walking function as a key element in activities of daily living. Studies demonstrated reductions in muscle and joint forces, while kinematic gait patterns appear to be preserved with up

Three-dimensional architecture of the whole human soleus muscle in vivo [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Most data on the architecture of the human soleus muscle have been obtained from cadaveric dissection or two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. We present the first comprehensive, quantitative study on the three-dimensional anatomy of the human ...
