Through Thick and Thin—Interfilament Communication in Muscle [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Muscles contract via interaction between thick (myosin-containing) and thin (actin-containing) filaments in response to increased levels of calcium. During contraction, the myosin heads extend from the thick filament surface and attach to actin in the thin filaments, causing the filaments to slide past each other in a cyclic, ATP-driven process ...

Thick-Filament Extensibility in Intact Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2018 Myofilament extensibility is a key structural parameter for interpreting myosin cross-bridge kinetics in striated muscle. Previous studies reported much higher thick-filament extensibility at low tension than the better-known and commonly used values at high tension, but in interpreting mechanical studies of muscle, a single value for thick-filament ...

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 ...

Ventilatory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness and pulmonary function in world-class powerlifters [PDF]
, 2013 Resistance training activates the ventilatory muscles providing a stimulus similar to ventilatory muscle training. We examined the effects of elite powerlifting training upon ventilatory muscle strength, pulmonary function and diaphragm thickness in ...
