Sentences with phrase «because fascicles»

Not exact matches

On the other hand, increasing muscle fascicle length through eccentric training seems to be a disadvantage for changes in rate of force development (RFD), probably because it causes a decrease in muscle stiffness (Kay et al. 2016).

The increases in muscle fascicle length seem to be affected by the amount of stretch during training, because training at longer muscle lengths leads to greater adaptations (Guex et al. 2016).

Increases in fascicle length could be helpful for increasing high - velocity strength, because longer fascicle lengths mean higher contraction velocities (Wickiewicz et al. 1984).

Eccentric training is a very popular training tool for athletes, because it is very effective for producing large gains in maximum strength, increasing muscle fascicle lengths, and reducing the risk of muscle strain injury.

This is expected, because energy storage is the area under the stress - strain curve, and eccentric training increases muscle fascicle length.

It is possible that the different regional hypertrophy observed after training at long or short muscle lengths could in fact be closely related to the changes in muscle fascicle length, because changes in muscle fascicle length have been linked to greater increases in muscle size in the distal regions of the muscle (Franchi et al. 2014).
