Herzog and colleagues (Herzog et al., 1991) compared the rectus femoris moment — length relationship of high - performance athletes engaged in different disciplines, who chronically use this muscle at distinctly different lengths, and found that runners were relatively stronger at longer muscle lengths and cyclists stronger at shorter muscle lengths.
