Masseter Muscle Size in Chronic Parotid Sialadenitis [PDF]

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology
Objective The relationship between masseter muscle thickness and parotid duct obstruction resulting in recurrent sialadenitis is not well defined. This study aims to evaluate masseter muscle size in patients with chronic sialadenitis of the parotid and ...

Electrically and hybrid-induced muscle activations: effects of muscle size and fiber type

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2016
The effect of three electrical stimulation (ES) frequencies (10, 35, and 50 Hz) on two muscle groups with different proportions of fast and slow twitch fibers (abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and vastus lateralis (VL)) was explored. We evaluated the acute

Accelerated loss of trunk muscle density and size at L1 vertebral level in male patients with COPD [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Background and purposeWeight loss and muscle mass loss are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle density and fat infiltration based on CT images may be more sensitive than muscle mass by DXA in the assessment of ...

Hamstrings and quadriceps muscle size and strength in female and male elite competitive alpine skiers [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Competitive alpine skiing requires a high level of physical fitness to perform sport-specific manoeuvres and to minimise the risk of injury. The aim of this study was to establish reference values for the maximal anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSAmax)

Relative contribution of neuromuscular activation, muscle size, and muscle quality to maximum strength output of the thigh muscles in young individuals [PDF]

Physiological Reports, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maximal muscle strength and neuromuscular activation, muscle size, and quality of quadriceps (QF) and hamstring muscles (HM). The study included 24 young men and women. The neuromuscular activation

Sex differences in absolute and relative changes in muscle size following resistance training in healthy adults: a systematic review with Bayesian meta-analysis [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Muscle hypertrophy may be influenced by biological differences between males and females. This meta-analysis investigated absolute and relative changes in muscle size following resistance training (RT) between males and females and whether ...

Resistance Training Recommendations to Maximize Muscle Hypertrophy in an Athletic Population: Position Stand of the IUSCA

International Journal of Strength and Conditioning, 2021
Hypertrophy can be operationally defined as an increase in the axial cross-sectional area of a muscle fiber or whole muscle, and is due to increases in the size of pre-existing muscle fibers. Hypertrophy is a desired outcome in many sports.

The Influence of Sonographer Experience on Skeletal Muscle Image Acquisition and Analysis

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021
The amount of experience with ultrasonography may influence measurement outcomes while images are acquired or analyzed. The purpose of this study was to identify the interrater reliability of ultrasound image acquisition and image analysis between ...

The Contribution of Decreased Muscle Size to Muscle Weakness in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Muscle weakness is a common clinical symptom in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). It is caused by impaired neural ability and altered intrinsic capacity of the muscles. To define the contribution of decreased muscle size to muscle weakness, two
