Sentences with phrase «normalized fiber lengths»

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

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.

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).

For the purposes of muscle architecture, the most relevant measure of muscle fiber length is the normalized fiber length (NFL).

Not exact matches

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).
