Scaling of peak moment arms of elbow muscles with upper extremity bone dimensions.
It is often assumed that moment arms scale with size and can be normalized by body segment lengths or limb circumferences. However, quantitative scaling relationships between moment arms and anthropometric dimensions are generally not available. We hypothesized that peak moment arms of the elbow flexor and extensor muscles scale with the shorter distance (D(s)) between the elbow flexion axis an...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal Parameter Variability Explains Variability in Elbow Flexion Strength Deficit Due to Long Head Biceps Tear: a Stochastic Model
Rupture of the Long Head of Biceps tendon (LHB) results in varying elbow flexion strength deficit (mean deficit: 8%, S.D. 12% of mean) (Mariani et al. 1988). This variability in strength is interesting because it is previously unexplained. Observations of musculoskeletal parameters also exhibit variability (Murray et al. 2000). We hypothesize that the variation in elbow flexion strength in heal...
متن کاملAnthropometric and muscle strength evaluation in prepubescent and pubescent swimmer boys and girls*
Anthropometric and muscle strength evaluation in prepubescent and pubescent swimmers and muscle strength and body composition are important for a better sporting performance. The objective of this study was to describe and to compare anthropometrical and muscle strength aspects of prepubescent and pubescent swimmer boys and girls. Forty-eight healthy competitive swimmers participated in this st...
متن کاملPlantar 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 کاملWhey protein does not enhance the adaptations to elbow flexor resistance training.
PURPOSE It is unclear whether protein supplementation augments the gains in muscle strength and size observed after resistance training (RT) because limitations to previous studies include small cohorts, imprecise measures of muscle size and strength, and no control of prior exercise or habitual protein intake. We aimed to determine whether whey protein supplementation affected RT-induced chang...
