Ultrasonographic measurements of fascicle length overestimate adaptations in serial sarcomere number

Experimental Physiology, 2023
Ultrasound‐derived measurements of muscle fascicle length (FL) are often used to infer increases (chronic stretch or training) or decreases (muscle disuse or aging) in serial sarcomere number (SSN).

The impact of obesity on skeletal muscle architecture in untrained young vs. old women. [PDF]

, 2014
It is unknown whether loading of the lower limbs through additional storage of fat mass as evident in obesity would promote muscular adaptations similar to those seen with resistance exercise.

The Change of Pennation Angle of Medial Gastrocnemius on Different Heights of Heels

Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016
Objectives This study aims to investigate the effect of pennation angle and surface Electromyography (sEMG) activity of medial gastrocnemius on different heights of high heels by using ultrasonography and sEMG. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Twenty eight healthy young females participate in this study.

Intra‐ and inter‐observer reliability of ultrasound muscle thickness of gluteal and biceps femoris long head in individuals with and without SCI

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to evaluate both inter‐ and intra‐observer reliability of ultrasound‐based muscle thickness measurements in able‐bodied (AB) individuals, as well as intra‐observer reliability in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Morphological differences in myofibre size and shape: A comparative study of the soleus, gastrocnemius, triceps brachii and vastus lateralis in humans and mice

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 126-139, January 2026.
Myofibre size and shape were investigated in functionally distinct muscles of humans and mice using ATPase histochemistry and immunofluorescence. In both species, soleus myofibres were found to be larger, more irregularly shaped, and more heterogeneous compared to other muscles. These findings may have implications for biomedical research and potential

Hamstring Architectural and Functional Adaptations Following Long vs. Short Muscle Length Eccentric Training. [PDF]

, 2016
Most common preventive eccentric-based exercises, such as Nordic hamstring do not include any hip flexion. So, the elongation stress reached is lower than during the late swing phase of sprinting.

Neuromuscular mechanisms for the fast decline in rate of force development with muscle disuse – a narrative review

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 2, Page 735-760, 15 January 2026.
Abstract figure legend Muscle unloading induces declines in muscle function, particularly in maximal and explosive strength. The decline in explosive strength (quantified as rate of force development, RFD) is greater than the decline in maximal strength (quantified as maximal force, Fmax).
