Correlation analysis between lower limb muscle architectures and cycling power via ultrasonography

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The primary purpose was to examine the relationship between the muscle architectural characteristics of short and long-distance cyclist—including muscle thickness, fascicle angle, and fascicle length—of the anterior thigh and posterior leg and its impact

Hamstring muscle architecture and myotonometer measurements in elite professional football players with a prior strained hamstring

open access: yesBiology of Sport, 2022
The purpose of this study was to compare the fascicle length, angle pennation and mechanical properties of the biceps femoris long head (BFlh) in dominant and non-dominant limbs in previously injured and uninjured professional football players.

A model of fasciculation and sorting in mixed populations of axons

open access: yes, 2011
We extend a recently proposed model (Chaudhuri et al., EPL 87, 20003 (2009)) aiming to describe the formation of fascicles of axons during neural development.

Ensemble tractography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fiber tractography uses diffusion MRI to estimate the trajectory and cortical projection zones of white matter fascicles in the living human brain. There are many different tractography algorithms and each requires the user to set several parameters ...

Effects of series elastic compliance on muscle force summation and the rate of force rise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Compliant tendons permit mechanically unfavourable fascicle dynamics during fixed-end contractions. The purpose of this study was to reduce the effective compliance of tendon and investigate how small reductions in active shortening affect twitch ...

Simple Muscle Architecture Analysis (SMA): an ImageJ macro tool to automate measurements in B-mode ultrasound scans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In vivo measurements of muscle architecture (i.e. the spatial arrangement of muscle fascicles) are routinely included in research and clinical settings to monitor muscle structure, function and plasticity.

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

open access: yesApplied 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.

Relationships between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, explosiveness and eccentric leg stiffness in adolescent athletes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether any relationships were present between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, variables measured during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ), and eccentric leg ...
