The Influence of Maturity Status on Muscle Architecture in School-Aged Boys [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: To determine the differences in muscle architecture of the lower limb in pre-peak height velocity (PHV), circa-PHV, and post-PHV boys. Method: Muscle architecture variables from both the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and vastus lateralis (VL) were

Curvature of gastrocnemius muscle fascicles as function of muscle–tendon complex length and contraction in humans

Physiological Reports, 2023
It has been shown that muscle fascicle curvature increases with increasing contraction level and decreasing muscle–tendon complex length. The analyses were done with limited examination windows concerning contraction level, muscle–tendon complex length ...
