Muscle Architecture of Leg Muscles: Functional and Clinical Significance [PDF]

Acta medica Lituanica, 2022
 Background. Architectural properties of the muscles are the prime predictors of functional attributes and force-generating capacity of the muscles. This data is vital for musculoskeletal modelling and selecting the appropriate muscle–tendon units for tendon transfers.Cadaveric data for architectural properties is the gold standard and primary input ...

The association between muscle architecture and muscle spindle abundance [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractAcross the human body, skeletal muscles have a broad range of biomechanical roles that employ complex proprioceptive control strategies to successfully execute a desired movement. This information is derived from peripherally located sensory apparatus, the muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organs.

Triceps Surae Muscle Architecture Adaptations to Eccentric Training

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
BackgroundEccentric exercises have been used in physical training, injury prevention, and rehabilitation programs. The systematic use of eccentric training promotes specific morphological adaptations on skeletal muscles.

Hamstring Muscles: Architecture and Innervation [PDF]

Cells Tissues Organs, 2005
Knowledge of the anatomical organization of the hamstring muscles is necessary to understand their functions, and to assist in the development of accurate clinical and biomechanical models. The hamstring muscles were examined by dissection in six embalmed human lower limbs with the purpose of clarifying their gross morphology.

Resistance Exercise in People With Stage-3 Chronic Kidney Disease: Effects of Training Frequency (Weekly Volume) on Measures of Muscle Wasting and Function

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background: Resistance training (RT) is a proven anabolic intervention in people living with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the dose-response relationship of RT in the non-dialysis dependent ...

Muscle architecture in relation to function [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 1991
Animal muscles generate forces and induce movements at desirable rates. These roles are interactive and must be considered together. Performance of the organism and survival of the species also involve potential optimization of control and of energy consumption.

Skeletal Muscle Quality: A Biomarker for Assessing Physical Performance Capabilities in Young Populations

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Muscle quality (MQ), defined as the amount of strength and/or power per unit of muscle mass, is a novel index of functional capacity that is increasingly relied upon as a critical biomarker of muscle health in low functioning aging and pathophysiological

The Influence of Maturity Status on Muscle Architecture in School-Aged Boys [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: To determine the differences in muscle architecture of the lower limb in pre-peak height velocity (PHV), circa-PHV, and post-PHV boys. Method: Muscle architecture variables from both the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and vastus lateralis (VL) were
