Asymmetric deformation of contracting human gastrocnemius muscle.
Muscle fiber deformation is related to its cellular structure, as well as its architectural arrangement within the musculoskeletal system. While playing an important role in aponeurosis displacement, and efficiency of force transmission to the tendon, such deformation also provides important clues about the underlying mechanical structure of the muscle. We hypothesized that muscle fiber cross s...
متن کاملCilostazol increases tissue blood flow in contracting rabbit gastrocnemius muscle.
BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the ability of cilostazol to improve walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) are not fully understood, but may be related to its phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3) and adenosine uptake inhibition. In the present study the effect of cilostazol on blood flow and interstitial adenosine concentration was compared with that of the PDE3 inhib...
متن کاملForce-length characteristics of the in vivo human gastrocnemius muscle.
In this study, the force-length characteristics of the in vivo medial (GM) and lateral (GL) heads of the human gastrocnemius muscle were estimated from measurements in eight healthy male subjects. This involved: 1) dynamometry-based measurements of the moment generated during maximal isometric plantar flexion; 2) ultrasound-based measurements of fascicular length and pennation angle; and 3) ult...
متن کاملPassive mechanical properties of human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon units
Background The passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscletendon units are important because they determine the amount of motion available at joints. Human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon units are of particular interest because this muscle is prone to develop contractures, may have a role in lower limb overuse injuries, and is a common site of muscle tears. This workshop provides an introduct...
متن کاملMyoglobin desaturation with exercise intensity in human gastrocnemius muscle.
The present study evaluated whether intracellular partial pressure of O2 ([Formula: see text]) modulates the muscle O2 uptake (V˙o 2) as exercise intensity increased. Indirect calorimetry followedV˙o 2, whereas nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) monitored the high-energy phosphate levels, intracellular pH, and intracellular[Formula: see text] in the gastrocnemius muscle of four untrained subjects...
