Gluteal muscle function and size in swimmers

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2016
To compare the gluteus medius and minimus segments size and activity in swimmers versus non-swimmers.Case matched-control cross-sectional study.The three segments of gluteus medius (anterior, middle and posterior) and two segments of gluteus minimus (anterior and posterior) were evaluated using electromyography and magnetic resonance imaging in 15 ...

Signalling and the control of skeletal muscle size

Experimental Cell Research, 2010
Skeletal muscle is highly adaptive to environmental stimuli and can alter its mass accordingly. This tissue is almost unique in that it can increase its size through two distinct mechanisms. It can grow through a cellular process mediated by cell fusion, or it can increase its size simply by increasing its protein content.

Skeletal muscle size: relationship to muscle function in heart failure

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993
Abnormalities of skeletal muscle function and metabolism are common in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and appear to contribute to systemic exercise limitation. Although the mechanism for these differences is unclear, one possibility is skeletal muscle atrophy.

Skeletal muscle: Increasing the size of the locomotor cell

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2010
Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the body comprising 40-50% of body mass in humans and playing a central role in maintaining metabolic health. Skeletal muscle protein undergoes rapid turnover, a process that is intricately regulated by the balance between the rates of protein synthesis and degradation.

Muscle fiber types and size in trained and untrained muscles of elite athletes

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1985
Tissue samples were obtained from vastus lateralis and deltoid muscles of physical education students (n = 12), Greco-Roman wrestlers (n = 8), flat-water kayakers (n = 9), middle- and long-distance runners (n = 9), and olympic weight and power lifters (n = 7).

Ultrasound Assessment of Adductor Muscle Size Using Muscle Thickness of the Thigh

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2012
Context:Previous studies investigated the relationship between ultrasound-derived anatomical muscle thickness (MTH) and individual muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle volume in several limb and trunk muscles; however, the adductor muscle that contributes to hip adduction and pelvic stabilization, as well as balance ability, has not been ...

Molecular Size of Hagfish Muscle Lactate Dehydrogenase

Science, 1967
In contrast to an earlier report, we find that the primitive vertebrate Eptatretus possesses a muscle lactate dehydrogenase whose molecular size is like that of lactate dehydrogenases from higher vertebrates. The molecular size of lactate dehydrogenase appears to have remained constant during evolution.

Size and shape of skeletal muscle M-protein

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1982
Abstract M-protein was isolated from chicken pectoralis muscle and shown to be relatively homogeneous by the criterion of high-speed equilibrium ultracentrifugation. A sample of the protein was rotary shadowed with platinum and examined by electron microscopy.

Methodology for the sizing of air muscles in a robotic arm

2011 9th IEEE International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA), 2011
This paper discusses a methodology for sizing air muscles to be used in the implementation of a robotic arm. By a complete evaluation of the arm kinematics and dynamics, the developed methodology assures a fast and correct sizing of the air muscles required to satisfy the arm specifications.

Does muscle size matter?

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2015
We note with interest the comments from Dr. Wiwanitkit [1] regarding our recent publication, “Muscle size and strength in children with Cerebral Palsy” [2], who makes several suggestions with regar...
