Age‐related neuromuscular changes affecting human vastus lateralis
KEY POINTS Skeletal muscle size and strength decline in older age. The vastus lateralis, a large thigh muscle, undergoes extensive neuromuscular remodelling in healthy ageing, as characterized by a loss of motor neurons, enlargement of surviving motor units and instability of neuromuscular junction transmission. The loss of motor axons and changes to motor unit potential transmission precede a ...
متن کاملPnm-28: Longitudinal Changes of Maternal Anthropometric Indices: A Cohort Study in Women during Pregnancy and Postpartum
Background: Evaluation of fat distribution is a way to assessment of physical health. Waist to Hip Ratio and waist circumference are the simplest anthropometric measurements to be used to determine the obesity and related disorders in pregnancy. Today a close consideration is given to WHR and WC assessment in order to evaluate physical health in epidemiological studies. Materials and Methods: O...
متن کاملMuscle fiber and tendon length changes in the human vastus lateralis during slow pedaling.
Muscle fascicle lengths of vastus lateralis (VL) muscle were measured in five healthy men during slow pedaling to investigate the interaction between muscle fibers and tendon. Subjects cycled at a pedaling rate of 40 rpm (98 W). During exercise, fascicle lengths changed from 91 +/- 7 (SE) to 127 +/- 5 mm. It was suggested that fascicles were on the descending limb of their force-length relation...
متن کاملVastus lateralis oxygenation during prolonged cycling in healthy males.
This study examined the relationship between acute cardiorespiratory and muscle oxygenation and blood volume changes during prolonged exercise. Eight healthy male volunteers (mean maximum oxygen uptake VO(2max) = 41.6 +/- 2.4 mL/kg/min) performed 60 min submaximal cycling at 50% VO(2max). Oxygen uptake VO(2) was measured by indirect spirometry, cardiac output (CO) was estimated using a Portapre...
متن کاملInfluence of Neuromuscular Fatigue on Co-contraction between Vastus Medialis and Vastus Lateralis during Isometric Contractions
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular fatigue on vastus medialis and vastus lateralis co-contraction. Fifteen healthy young subjects performed an isometric leg extension test in two different condition phases: i) maximum test for determining the maximum voluntary isometric contraction, and ii) fatigue test for exercises executed at 50% of the maximum voluntary contra...
