Our results indicate that the percentage of macrophages in the adipose tissue that surrounds and infiltrates the
extensor digitalis longus
muscle is
increased in obese mice compared with lean mice.
Given the equal roles of the hip and knee
extensors in this exercise, it is difficult to identify whether the effects of squat training achieves improvements in COD ability through
increases in quadriceps or hip
extensor (adductor magnus, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings)
muscle size.
Moreover,
increases in energy absorbed by the hip
extensors (and flexors) during the swing phase have been linked to faster running speeds, suggesting that this ability to absorb energy by the biarticular hip
muscles is an essential element of faster sprinting speeds (Schache et al. 2011; 2015).
