Sentences with phrase «contractile force»

Carbon dioxide is toxic to the heart and causes diminished contractile force.»

In sprinting, when the foot is on the ground, the glutes will reach their maximal contractile force, the peak of which will exceed most anything done in the weightroom.

In the light of the above considerations, the present study aimed to investigate whether parameters of the calf MTU relevant to contractile force production would be modified by long - term use of high - heeled shoes.

Thus, the affected muscle fibers strengthen their lateral connections to the ECM by forming new costameres (e.g. integrins) either side of the damaged area, and this enables contractile force to be transmitted despite the injury.

Studies have shown an increase in contractile force of our TA and PF muscles when activated together vs. contracting individually.

It does this by dilating the airways and blood vessels, whilst at the same time increasing heart rate, pressure and contractile force [2].

Isometric twitch and tetanic contractions were performed using a stimulator and a force transducer to quantify the maximum contractile forces, as well as parameters related to the speed of contraction and speed of relaxation of dissected muscles.

Here we study the effect of contractile forces originated from model tumor spheroids embedded in a biomimetic collagen I matrix.

We show that contractile forces act immediately after seeding and deform the ECM, thus leading to tensile radial forces within the matrix.

Not exact matches

Dystrophin is responsible for linking the cell membrane to contractile proteins such as actin and allows the contraction force inside cells to be transmitted to the outside.

Specifically, lower isometric forces coupled with a lower twitch / tetanus ratio and lower rates of force development and relaxation indicate that EDL muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice have adopted a slower contractile phenotype.

Abstract The amount of force skeletal muscles can produce depends on their contractile history.

Both contractile axial and lateral traction force dynamics drive amoeboid cell motility.

Unlike inanimate matter, cells contain molecular force generators that produce active contractile stresses in the cellular material.

«When your body is forced to adapt to the increased demands of a heavier weight, it responds by building more contractile proteins within the muscle, which increases muscle density and muscle tone.»

The third method is repeat effort — when we do something repeatedly, we increase contractile proteins within the muscles, which increases force output.

One of the main reasons for this is taurine's ability to support the contractile properties of fast - twitch muscles, therefore helping them to produce peak force.

According to Cardio Haters» Grant Lofthouse, who favours five sets of six reps, «When your body is forced to adapt to the increased demands of a heavier weight, it responds by building more contractile proteins within the muscle, which increases muscle density and muscle tone (myogenic tone).»

(«Contractile properties» essentially means the amount of strength or force that the muscle can produce.)

Not lower / sustainable force production requirements for long durations of time at slow contractile speeds.

This is known as myofibrillar hypertrophy, in which the contractile unit of the muscle gets stronger and larger, ultimately leading to greater force production.

Dependent variables related to muscle force and muscle contractile properties were measured during different sessions than ROM measures because static stretching, even for short durations, has been shown to cause impairments in force production (8,29).

Foam rolling for two, 1 - minute bouts did not impede voluntary muscle activation, force or evoked contractile properties.

The greater gains in strength - to - size that result from an increase in specific tension are not reflected in improvements in muscle power, because the reduction in contractile velocity counteracts the effects of the increased muscle fiber force (Erskine et al. 2011).

This reduces the effective contractile length of muscle fibers, reducing the shortening velocity, and increasing force production (Erskine et al. 2011).

Strength training is velocity - specific, and this seems to arise from both central and peripheral mechanisms, which affect rate of force development (RFD) and maximum contractile velocity.

This helped to eliminate the chance of post-activation potentiation, which is an increase in muscle twitch and low - frequency force after a «conditioning» contractile activity and can be looked at as a priming mechanism that serves to improve performance (31).

This type of exercise forces your muscles to contract as hard as they can, which leads to an increase in the number of contractile filaments within your muscle cells.

Although MMG is still in its infancy in comparison with EMG, there are indications that it can be used to assess differences in a range of parameters, including muscle fiber type, muscle force, peripheral fatigue, and contractile properties (see review by Ibitoye et al. 2014).
