Vastus Lateralis Architecture Changes During Pregnancy – A Longitudinal Study

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
While the incidence of falls has been described to increase with pregnancy, the mechanism behind this is unclear. Pregnancy associated changes in lower extremity muscle strength could be a possible factor influencing injury risk.

Muscle architecture and maturation influences sprint and jump ability in young boys: a multi-study approach [PDF]

, 2021
This series of experiments examined the influence of medial gastrocnemius (GM) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle architecture (muscle thickness, pennation angle, and fascicle length) on sprint and jump performance in pre-, circa- and post-peak height ...

Bouncing Back! Counteracting Muscle Aging With Plyometric Muscle Loading

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The preservation of muscle power is crucial in aging for maintaining mobility and performing daily tasks. Resistance training involving high movement velocities represents a valid strategy to slow down the rate of sarcopenia, counteracting the loss of ...

Architecture and fiber type of the pyramidalis muscle [PDF]

Anatomical Science International, 2008
The paired pyramidalis muscles are small triangular-shaped muscles that lie between the anterior surface of the rectus abdominus and the posterior surface of the rectus sheath. The precise function of pyramidalis muscles is unclear, but together the muscles are thought to tense the linea alba. The muscles are not always present, or are often unilateral,

Non-linear Scaling of Passive Mechanical Properties in Fibers, Bundles, Fascicles and Whole Rabbit Muscles

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Defining variations in skeletal muscle passive mechanical properties at different size scales ranging from single muscle fibers to whole muscles is required in order to understand passive muscle function.

Effects of inactivity on human muscle glutathione synthesis by a double-tracer and single-biopsy approach [PDF]

, 2010
Oxidative stress is often associated to inactivity-mediated skeletal muscle atrophy. Glutathione is one of the major antioxidant systems stimulated, both at muscular and systemic level, by activation of oxidative processes.

An evaluation of gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in endurance runners and low physical activity individuals [PDF]

, 2013
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Distance running has become increasingly popular in recreational runners. The gastrocnemius is the main muscle used for propulsion in running, and may be at risk for injury due to its morphology.

Effect of aging on human muscle architecture [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2003
The effect of aging on human gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle architecture was evaluated by comparing morphometric measurements on 14 young (aged 27–42 yr) and on 16 older (aged 70–81 yr) physically active men, matched for height, body mass, and physical activity.
