Plantar flexor moment arm and muscle volume predict torque-generating capacity in young men.
Muscle volume is known to correlate with maximal joint torque in humans, but the role of muscle moment arm in determining maximal torque is less clear. Moderate correlations have been reported between maximal isometric knee extensor torque and knee extensor moment arm, but no such observations have been made for the ankle joint. It has been suggested that smaller muscle moment arms may enhance ...
متن کاملThe effect of knee joint angle on plantar flexor power in young and old men.
Human adult aging is associated with a loss of strength, contractile velocity and hence, power. The principal plantar flexors, consisting of the bi-articular gastrocnemeii and the mono-articular soleus, appear to be affected differently by the aging process. However, the age-related effect of knee joint angle on the torque-angular velocity relationship and power production of this functionally ...
متن کاملConcentric plantar flexor torque deficits in female athletes with functional ankle instability
After an ankle injury, residual symptoms can followed to recurrent sprain in physical activity and 30% of its lead to functional ankle instability (FAI) Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the isokinetic concentric and eccentric torque measures of the ankle musculature to body weight in female athletes with and without FAI.30 female athletes, who play in pro league of Tehran, p...
متن کاملMuscle force and moment arm contributions to torque production in frog hindlimb.
The relative contribution of maximum muscle tetanic tension (Po) and muscle moment arm to maximum knee flexion torque was investigated in the frog hindlimb. Isometric torque was measured in frog semitendinosus muscle-bone complexes throughout the range of 0-160 degrees of flexion. Optimal joint angle (the angle at which isometric torque was maximum) was observed at 140 degrees of flexion. After...
متن کاملThe effect of plantar flexor muscle fatigue on postural control.
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have demonstrated that ankle muscle fatigue alters postural sway. Our aim was to better understand postural control mechanisms during upright stance following plantar flexor fatigue. METHOD Ten healthy young volunteers, 25.7±2.2 years old, were recruited. Foot center-of-pressure (CoP) displacement data were collected during narrow base upright stance and eyes closed...
