The influence of barefoot and shod running on Triceps-surae muscle strain characteristics [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of the current investigation was to determine the effects of barefoot and shod running on the kinematics of the Triceps-Surae muscle group. Twelve male participants ran at 4.0 m.s-1 (± 5%) in both barefoot and shod conditions.

Regulation of soleus muscle properties by mechanical stress and/or neural activity
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012 The responses of soleus muscle and/or muscle fibers to gravitation loading and/or unloading and the roles of mechanical stress and/or neural activity in the regulation of morphological properties in the soleus muscle were briefly reviewed.

Age-related deficits in skeletal muscle recovery following disuse are associated with neuromuscular junction instability and ER stress, not impaired protein synthesis. [PDF]
, 2016 Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength can be accelerated by impaired recovery of muscle mass following a transient atrophic stimulus. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms underlying the attenuated recovery of muscle mass and ...

Three-dimensional architecture of the whole human soleus muscle in vivo [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Most data on the architecture of the human soleus muscle have been obtained from cadaveric dissection or two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. We present the first comprehensive, quantitative study on the three-dimensional anatomy of the human ...

Atrophy, oxidative switching and ultrastructural defects in skeletal muscle of the ataxia telangiectasia mouse model [PDF]
, 2019 Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare, multi system disease caused by ATM kinase deficiency. Atm-knockout mice recapitulate premature aging, immunodeficiency, cancer predisposition, growth retardation and motor defects, but not cerebellar neurodegeneration and

Gene expression profiling in slow-Type calf soleus muscle of 30 days space-flown mice [PDF]
, 2017 Microgravity exposure as well as chronic disuse are two main causes of skeletal muscle atrophy in animals and humans. The antigravity calf soleus is a reference postural muscle to investigate the mechanism of disuse-induced maladaptation and plasticity ...
