Muscle in Variable Gravity: “I Do Not Know Where I Am, But I Know What to Do”
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Purpose: Fascicle and sarcomere lengths are important predictors of muscle mechanical performance. However, their regulation during stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities in usual and challenging conditions is poorly understood.

Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior
Biology Open, 2019 The torque attained during active shortening is enhanced after an active stretch (stretch-shortening cycle, SSC). This study examined the influence of pre-activation on fascicle behavior and the SSC effect.

In vivo fascicle behavior of the flexor hallucis longus muscle at different walking speeds [PDF]
, 2017 Ankle plantar flexor muscles support and propel the body in the stance phase of locomotion. Besides the triceps surae, flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) may also contribute to this role, but very few in vivo studies have examined FHL function during ...

In vivo assessment of muscle fascicle length by extended field-of-view ultrasonography
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2010 The present study examined the reliability and validity of in vivo vastus lateralis (VL) fascicle length ( Lf) assessment by extended field-of-view ultrasonography (EFOV US). Intraexperimenter and intersession reliability of EFOV US were tested. Further, Lf measured from EFOV US images were compared to Lf measured from static US images (6-cm FOV ...

Medical Hypotheses, 2020 We are proposing optimal training conditions that can lead to an increase in the number of serial sarcomeres (SSN) and muscle fascicle length (FL) in spastic muscles. Therapeutic interventions for increasing FL in clinical populations with neurological origin, in whom relative shortness of muscle fascicles contributed to the presentation of symptoms ...

Changes in the length and three‐dimensional orientation of muscle fascicles and aponeuroses with passive length changes in human gastrocnemius muscles [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Key points The human gastrocnemius muscle is slack at its shortest lengths in vivo. We hypothesised that when the muscle is lengthened slack is taken up progressively, first in some muscle fascicles, then in others. A new, quasi‐three‐dimensional ultrasound imaging method was used to test this hypothesis directly.

Muscle fascicle strains in human gastrocnemius during backward downhill walking [PDF]
, 2014 Extensive muscle damage can be induced in isolated muscle preparations by performing a small number of stretches during muscle activation. While typically these fiber strains are large and occur over long lengths, the extent of exercise-induced muscle ...
