Sentences with phrase «fiber length»

Then, all of the hard work is for nothing, with significant reductions in muscle fiber length and potential increases in injury risk.

Additionally, the difference in normalized fiber lengths between the two muscles in each group implies that each of the hamstrings will produce their individual maximum forces at different joint angles and muscle lengths.

They sought to determine whether SIV infection leads to decreases in corneal nerve fiber density, and whether corneal nerve fiber density correlates with epidermal nerve fiber length counts, thereby setting the stage for follow - up investigation using corneal confocal microscopy.

A study performed on rats showed that the pelvic floor muscle fiber length increases between 21 - 37 % and the quantity of extracellular collagen matrix increases by 140 % in the pelvic floor muscles.

True Egyptian cotton is a specific cultivar of cotton known for having an extremely long fiber length, is the smoothest, and the softest variety among the cotton blends.

There is a hierarchy among cotton fibers such that ratings are measured based on fiber length from the raw boll.

Next the individual FA threshold, namely, the highest FA value leading to visualization of tracts at a pre-defined minimum fiber length of 110 mm, was determined.

The grade of paper is determined by fiber length, which shortens after each trip through the recycling process.

Some muscles have large pennation angles and physiological cross-sectional areas, but short normalized fiber lengths.

Corneal nerve fiber density was also directly correlated with epidermal nerve fiber length.

14 This study showed that the extracellular matrix remained elevated at 12 weeks postpartum but the fiber length returned to normal.

The stroma, or supportive tissue environment, shows discontinuities in the fiber length and disorganization in the orientation of the fibers.

Recent evidence has shown that short muscle fiber lengths can increase the risk of hamstring injury in elite soccer players.

The angle of peak torque can change even after normal strength training, probably because of changes in many of these factors, including neural drive, normalized fiber length, regional muscle size, tendon stiffness, and muscle stiffness.

It comprises three main aspects: normalized fiber length, pennation angle, and physiological cross-sectional area.

Factors that shift the angle of peak torque to longer muscle lengths after normal strength training include increases in neural drive at long muscle lengths, increases in normalized fiber length, specific gains in regional muscle size, and increases in muscle stiffness.

Factors that shift the angle of peak torque to shorter muscle lengths after normal strength training include increases in neural drive at short muscle lengths, decreases in normalized fiber length, specific gains in regional muscle size, and increases in tendon stiffness.

Across the medial and lateral hamstrings, there is one muscle that has a high normalized fiber length and a low physiological cross-sectional area and another muscle that has a low normalized fiber length and a high physiological cross-sectional area (Friederich & Brand, 1990; Horsman et al. 2007; Ward et al. 2009; Kellis et al. 2012).

The hamstrings have very different muscle architecture from one another, with a range of fiber lengths, pennation angles and physiological cross-sectional areas.

Muscle architecture comprises three main aspects: normalized fiber length (NFL), pennation angle (PA), and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA)(Lieber & Fridén, 2000; 2001; Ward et al. 2009), although muscle volume is sometimes considered as a fourth independent factor (Luu et al. 2015).

Deep muscle stripping helps to, restore normal muscle fiber length, identify and loosen trigger points, and promote local circulation.

In current practice, PCSA tends to be estimated based on direct measurements of muscle volume and muscle fiber length, although researchers are working on developing models for more accurate estimations that reduce the effects of these limitations (Lee et al. 2015).

Once we have these two pieces of information we can normalize the muscle fiber length, using the following formula: NFL = muscle fiber length x 2.7 μm / average sarcomere length in muscle fiber (μm).

For shredded paper, the fiber lengths are purposefully shortened, thereby reducing the recycling market.

Ink is easily removed in the recycling process, but shredding paper reduces the fiber lengths, making it more difficult to recycle into new paper.
