Muscle size and muscle fat infiltration in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer: a case–control study [PDF]

Frontiers in Oncology
AimsCancer is a recognized risk factor for sarcopenia. While some studies suggest that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) may contribute to muscle loss in patients with prostate cancer (PCa), it remains unclear whether alterations in muscle composition ...

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)

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.

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

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 ...

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

Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the process of obtaining cross-sectional area and echo intensity measurements of muscles from ultrasound images

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2021
Introduction: The use of ultrasound images for analyzing muscle quality and size is continuing to grow in the literature. However, many of these manuscripts fail to properly describe their measurement techniques and steps involved in analyzing ultrasound
