reported fascicle lengths of 137 mm and 143 mm for the clavicular and sternocostal portion respectively.
Furthermore, Maganaris et al. (1998)
reported the fascicle length of the lateral gastrocnemius and found that it measured 72.5 — 74.0 mm.

Indeed, some researchers have observed that muscle
fascicle length tends to be longer in elite 100m sprinters than long - distance runners as well as in less - well - trained sprinters (Kumagi et al. 1985; Abe et al. 2001; Lee & Plaza, 2009), although this has not always been
reported (Methenitis et al. 2015) and when it comes to certain sports, the relationship may of course be muscle - specific, depending on the contribution of the muscle being investigated to performance in that sport.
Although only a small number of studies have assessed
fascicle lengths of the gluteus maximus, there is some consistency in the
reported findings (Friederich & Brand 1990; Horsman et al. 2007; Ward et al. 2009; Barker et al. 2014).
