Muscle volume of supraspinatus and infraspinatus in dogs: a computed tomography reliability study [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Computed tomography (CT) is an established imaging technique for diagnosing shoulder pathology in dogs. CT images can be used to measure muscle volume, however the reliability of measuring supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle volume on CT images in ...

Assessment of Lower Limb Muscle Volume Using 3D Ultrasonography: Validity and Reliability Compared to MRI [PDF]

Current Issues in Sport Science
Introduction Muscle volume is a crucial indicator of muscle strength and neuromuscular health, traditionally assessed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). While MRI provides high accuracy, it is costly and time-consuming.

Relationship between muscle power, muscle volume and limb length in healthy male and female adolescents [PDF]

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
ObjectiveMuscle power is essential for the activities of daily living. Muscle power production depends on numerous factors such as muscle size and length, muscle architecture and fiber type and varies with age during growth.

Leg Muscle Volume, Intramuscular Fat and Force Generation: Insights From a Computer‐Vision Model and Fat‐Water MRI [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Maintaining skeletal muscle health (i.e., muscle size and quality) is crucial for preserving mobility. Decreases in lower limb muscle volume and increased intramuscular fat (IMF) are common findings in people with impaired mobility.

Triceps surae muscle hypertrophy is greater after standing versus seated calf-raise training

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Background: The triceps surae muscle plays important roles in fundamental human movements. However, this muscle is relatively unresponsive to resistance training (difficult to hypertrophy) but prone to atrophy with inactivity compared with other muscles.

Association between patellar tendon moment arm and running performance in endurance runners

Physiological Reports, 2021
A shorter joint moment arm (MA) may help maintain the necessary muscle force when muscle contractions are repeated. This beneficial effect may contribute to reducing the energy cost during running.
