Sentences with phrase «fiber contractile»

Velocity - specificity probably happens for many reasons, including greater increases in single fiber contractile velocity (including fiber type shifts), greater increases in early phase neural drive, more suppressed co-activation, and bigger improvements in co-ordination, compared to low - velocity (heavy load) training.

Single muscle fiber contractile properties during a competitive season in male runners.

Peripheral factors include muscle size, moment arm length, the length of the fascicles, the prevailing pennation angle of the fibers, the muscle fiber type, and even the single fiber contractile properties.

A very important point about muscle fiber contractile properties is that there is a strong inverse relationship between a muscle's strength and its endurance.

Not exact matches

Strength training has an undisputable good record for providing benefits such as increased muscle fiber size, increased muscle contractile strength, increased tendon strength and increased ligament strength, in people who train consistently (more than twice per week) for 12 weeks.

Almost 80 % of the muscle fiber's density is comprised of these contractile parts, which leaves a great potential for muscle size growth.

Hypertrophy is an increase in the different size dimension of muscular fibers, whether in terms of size increases in the contractile or non-contractile fibers of muscle tissue.

Trauma = Microtrauma, focusing primarily on type II fibers here - how much actual structural damage this workout is doing to your contractile tissue.

it also seems that for me, more high weight low rep training would be preferential as it produces more contractile based muscle fibers or myofibriol and would increase strength moreso then size.

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.

But the broad range of contractile properties across all muscle fibers means that fibers of the same type do not all have the same level of strength, endurance, or speed.

This suggests that one way in which velocity - focused training produces velocity - specificity is by altering contractile components of the individual muscle fibers.

They designed a study «to compare the adaptive changes in muscle size, contractile strength, and MHC (fiber type) composition evoked by resistance training performed at either low or high contraction intensity (i.e. low or high reps) while equalized for total loading volume»

The above description of the contractile properties of each muscle fiber type might lead you to believe that each type of fiber has distinct contractile properties.

The contractile properties discussed earlier tell us what the average contractile properties are for each type of muscle fiber.

This damage consists of microscopic tears in the muscle fibers that make up the muscle and may involve injury to the contractile elements within the muscle fiber as well as the surrounding tissue, the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber.

All muscles contract using the same basic principles - ion transport powers the attachment, configuration change, and detachment of protein cross bridges in a given muscle fiber, which causes contractile proteins to slide across each other and, well, contract.

This indicates that there are other features of muscle fibers that determine contractile velocity.

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).

Since the upper region appears to display slower contractile characteristics, it may have a greater proportion of type I muscle fibers.

Since the middle and lower regions display faster contractile characteristics, they may be comprised of a greater proportion of type II muscle fibers.

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).
