Serial sarcomere adaptation to eccentric overload training is blunted in ovariectomized rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsEccentric contractions performed to long muscle lengths impose high mechanical stress and strain on the muscle fiber, providing a stimulus for longitudinal growth (i.e., increases in serial sarcomeres number (SSN)).

Submaximal eccentric resistance training increases serial sarcomere number and improves dynamic muscle performance in old rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsThe age‐related loss of muscle mass is partly accounted for by the loss of sarcomeres in series, contributing to declines in muscle mechanical performance.

Triggering sarcomerogenesis: Examining key stimuli and the role attributed to eccentric training—Historical, systematic, and meta-analytic review [PDF]
Journal of Sport and Health ScienceBackground: Serial sarcomere number (SSN) critically influences muscle function and is hypothesized to protect against injury. While most evidence for SSN addition comes from non-human animal studies, eccentric exercise is often proposed as a key ...

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).

Stretching Skeletal Muscle: Chronic Muscle Lengthening through Sarcomerogenesis [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Skeletal muscle responds to passive overstretch through sarcomerogenesis, the creation and serial deposition of new sarcomere units. Sarcomerogenesis is critical to muscle function: It gradually re-positions the muscle back into its optimal operating ...

Muscle fascicle length adaptations to high-velocity training in young adults with cerebral palsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Sports and Active LivingIntroductionIn individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP), both muscle cross-sectional area and fascicle length are reduced, contributing to decreased muscle strength, muscle shortening velocity and muscle mechanical power output, particularly in the ...

Does longer-muscle length resistance training cause greater longitudinal growth in humans? A systematic review [PDF]
Sports Medicine and Health ScienceBackground: This paper aimed to systematically review the literature regarding the effects of resistance training (RT) performed at longer-muscle length (LML) versus shorter-muscle length (SML) on proxy measurements for longitudinal hypertrophy. Methods:
