Architecture of the Short External Rotator Muscles of the Hip

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Muscle architecture, or the arrangement of sarcomeres and fibers within muscles, defines functional capacity. There are limited data that provide an understanding of hip short external rotator muscle architecture. The purpose of this study was

Strength training and detraining in female dancesport athletes: adaptations and retention of lower limb muscle architecture, strength, and dance performance

BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation
Background Although strength training enhances performance in dancers, limited evidence exists regarding its effects on lower limb muscle architecture and the persistence of these adaptations following detraining.

Differences in Gastrocnemius Muscle Architectural Properties between Child Female Athletes with Different Flexibility Training Backgrounds

Proceedings, 2019
AIM: Τhe mechanisms underpinning long-term changes in muscle architectural characteristics and joint range of motion (ROM) following static stretching in humans remain under question, and data are sparse for growing athletes. It is possible that the

Anatomical parameters for musculoskeletal modeling of the hand and wrist

, 2016
A musculoskeletal model of the hand and wrist can provide valuable biomechanical and neurophysiological insights, relevant for clinicians and ergonomists. Currently, no consistent data-set exists comprising the full anatomy of these upper extremity parts.

The effect of complex training on horizontal power production in rugby union players : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 2004
The use of strength and power training regimes is common place among elite and recreational athletes. However, the application of such methods as direct determinants of improvement in sporting performance is a controversial and much debated topic because

Human skeletal muscle energy metabolism: when a physiological model promotes the search for new technologies [PDF]

, 2018
The idea that muscle function and, in fact, the function of all living tissues may be described by physical laws appeared in the second half of the 19th century.

The role of pennation angle and architectural gearing to rate of force development in dynamic and isometric muscle contractions

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports
AbstractBackgroundAssociations between muscle architecture and rate of force development (RFD) have been largely studied during fixed‐end (isometric) contractions. Fixed‐end contractions may, however, limit muscle shape changes and thus alter the relationship between muscle architecture an RFD.AimWe compared the correlation between muscle architecture ...
