Muscle Damage following Maximal Eccentric Knee Extensions in Males and Females [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: To investigate whether there is a sex difference in exercise induced muscle damage. Materials and Method: Vastus Lateralis and patella tendon properties were measured in males and females using ultrasonography.

Interaponeurosis shear strain modulates behavior of myotendinous junction of the human triceps surae. [PDF]
, 2013 Muscle fascicles insert into a sheet-like aponeurosis. Adjacent aponeuroses are structurally in contact with each other, and ultimately merge into a common tendon. Consequently, fascicle shortening in planes of tissue layers in adjacent compartments must

Operating length and velocity of human M. vastus lateralis fascicles during vertical jumping [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Humans achieve greater jump height during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) than in a squat jump (SJ). However, the crucial difference is the mean mechanical power output during the propulsion phase, which could be determined by intrinsic neuro-muscular mechanisms for power production. We measured M.

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019 Aim: Stretching is often used to increase/maintain muscle length and improve joint range of motion (ROM) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, outcomes at the muscle (remodeling) and resulting function appear to be highly variable and often ...

PLoS ONE, 2023 Strengthening the rotator cuff muscles is important for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Since muscle fascicle length improves motor performance and is suggested to reduce the risk of injury for the hamstring, it may be an important variable to ...

3D Neuro-electronic interface devices for neuromuscular control: Design studies and realisation steps [PDF]
, 1995 In order to design the shape and dimensions of new 3D multi-microelectrode information transducers properly, i. e. adapted to the scale of information delivery to and from peripheral nerve fibres, a number of studies were, and still are, being performed ...

Fascicle Length of Gastrocnemius Muscles in Monozygous Twins.
Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science, 2002 A large inter-individual variation is seen in muscle fascicle length of the athletes but the reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether genetic factors contribute to the variances in muscle architectural characteristics.

UltraTimTrack: a Kalman-filter-based algorithm to track muscle fascicles in ultrasound image sequences [PDF]
PeerJ Computer ScienceBackground Brightness-mode (B-mode) ultrasound is a valuable tool to non-invasively image skeletal muscle architectural changes during movement, but automatically tracking muscle fascicles remains a major challenge.

Residual force enhancement is affected more by quadriceps muscle length than stretch amplitude
eLife, 2022 Little is known about how muscle length affects residual force enhancement (rFE) in humans. We therefore investigated rFE at short, long, and very long muscle lengths within the human quadriceps and patellar tendon (PT) using conventional dynamometry ...

Dynamics of leg muscle function in tammar wallabies (M. eugenii) during level versus incline hopping [PDF]
, 2004 The goal of our study was to examine whether the in vivo force-length behavior, work and elastic energy savings of distal muscle-tendon units in the legs of tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii) change during level versus incline hopping.
