Automated image analysis of skeletal muscle fiber cross-sectional area.
Morphological characteristics of muscle fibers, such as fiber size, are critical factors that determine the health and function of the muscle. However, at this time, quantification of muscle fiber cross-sectional area is still a manual or, at best, a semiautomated process. This process is labor intensive, time consuming, and prone to errors, leading to high interobserver variability. We have de...
متن کاملMuscle strength and cross-sectional area in man: a comparison of strength-trained and untrained subjects.
This study has examined muscle strength and cross-sectional area in a group of 35 healthy untrained male subjects and 8 subjects who had been engaged in a strenuous weight-training programme. The maximum voluntary knee extension force which could be produced by the untrained subjects was 742 +/- 100 N (mean +/- SD). The trained subjects could produce a significantly (p less than 0.001) greater ...
متن کاملMuscle thickness correlates to muscle cross‐sectional area in the assessment of strength training‐induced hypertrophy
Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross-sectional area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used as a valid marker of MRI determined muscle anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) and volume changes following resistance training (RT). Nine healthy, young, male volunteers (24 ± 2 y.o., BMI 24.1 ± 2.8 kg/m2 ) had vastus...
متن کاملEffects of concentric and eccentric training on muscle strength, cross-sectional area, and neural activation.
We compared the effects of concentric (Con) and eccentric (Ecc) isokinetic training on quadriceps muscle strength, cross-sectional area, and neural activation. Women (age 20.0 +/- 0.5 yr) randomly assigned to Con training (CTG; n = 16), Ecc training (ETG; n = 19), and control (CG; n = 19) groups were tested before and after 10 wk of unilateral Con or Ecc knee-extension training. Average torque ...
متن کاملStrength training and cross-sectional area of muscles.
As my friend Dr. R. J. Maughan pointed out in his recent paper in the Journal (Maughan, Watson and Weir, 1984) any discussion of the effect of training on the relationship between the strength and the cross-sectional area of a muscle should take into account the effect of changing the angle of pennation of the muscle fibres. In his discussion Dr. Maughan refers to his finding that, in untrained...
