The passive properties of muscle fibers are velocity dependent.
The passive properties of skeletal muscle play an important role in muscle function. While the passive quasi-static elastic properties of muscle fibers have been well characterized, the dynamic visco-elastic passive behavior of fibers has garnered less attention. In particular, it is unclear how the visco-elastic properties are influenced by lengthening velocity, in particular for the range of ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of Titin Modulates Passive Stiffness of Cardiac Muscle in a Titin Isoform-dependent Manner
We investigated the effect of protein kinase A (PKA) on passive force in skinned cardiac tissues that express different isoforms of titin, i.e., stiff (N2B) and more compliant (N2BA) titins, at different levels. We used rat ventricular (RV), bovine left ventricular (BLV), and bovine left atrial (BLA) muscles (passive force: RV > BLV > BLA, with the ratio of N2B to N2BA titin, approximately 90:1...
متن کاملActive and passive components in the length-dependent stiffness of tracheal smooth muscle during isotonic shortening.
Contraction of smooth muscle tissue involves interactions between active and passive structures within the cells and in the extracellular matrix. This study focused on a defined mechanical behavior (shortening-dependent stiffness) of canine tracheal smooth muscle tissues to evaluate active and passive contributions to tissue behavior. Two approaches were used. In one, mechanical measurements we...
متن کاملPassive stiffness of rat skeletal muscle undernourished during fetal development
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of fetal undernutrition on the passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscle of weaned and young adult rats. INTRODUCTION A poor nutrition supply during fetal development affects physiological functions of the fetus. From a mechanical point of view, skeletal muscle can be also characterized by its resistance to passive stretch. ...
متن کاملPlyometric Training Effects on Gastrocnemii Muscle and Tendon Passive Stiffness
Plyometric training is commonly used to improve athletic performance but it is unclear how each component of the muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is affected by this intervention. The effects of fourteen weeks of plyometric training on the passive stiffness of the gastrocnemii muscle and Achilles tendon was determined simultaneously in order to assess possible local adaptations of elastic properties...
