  • The present study aimed to determine the differences in the length-force relationship between muscle fiber and muscle tendon complex (MTC) and to relate the shape of the length-force relationship to the architectural changes in MTC (the elongation of tendon structures and pennation angle changes). (go.jp)
  • At a steady state of tetanic contraction, the muscle fiber length and pennation angle were measured from ultrasonic images, and the muscle fiber force, tendon force, MTC length and elongation of tendon structures were calculated. (go.jp)
  • The differences could be attributed to the existence of compliant tendon structures and increment of pennation angles related to elongation of tendon structures, suggesting that compliant tendon structures in human muscles influence the length-dependent force generation in both muscle fiber and MTC.

  • Yoga addresses both flexibility and muscle strength. (aarp.org)
  • There was a time when it was believed that through the activation of the Muscle Spindle / Golgi-Tendon complex within all muscle / tendon units, greater flexibility could be achieved. (kreetankhabar.com)
  • Flexibility of our tendons? (isgtw.org)
  • However, running through a sprain can lead to a rupture of the tendon, which is more severe and will require a longer rehabilitation period. (runkeeper.com)
  • Longitudinal intramuscular tendon disruption was not significantly associated with time to RTP. (bmj.com)
  • There were 11 (15.7%) reinjuries within 12 months, five (17.2%) in the group with intramuscular tendon disruption and six (14.6%) in the group without intramuscular tendon disruption. (bmj.com)
  • Indicating that there is not as much passive resistance to stretching as expected) And as such, a classic phase of plastic deformation does not seem to occur in the muscle, which means that the stretched muscle almost always returns to its resting state after stretching. (kreetankhabar.com)
  • In this case, a piece of tendon from another part of the body or an artificial tendon is used. (medlineplus.gov)
  • It uses a low-pulse electrical current (typically between 0 and 400 pulses per second) sent through the skin and into the muscles, creating a massaging effect that provides warmth and relief. (neuragenex.com)
  • This theory has been successfully applied to short-term intermittent stretching (which I would do as part of a stretching routine) with the view that this type of stretching regime will cause similar increases in serial sarcomeres and a concurrent increase in the length of the stretched muscle. (kreetankhabar.com)

  • Changes in muscle size and definition are two of the most easily identifiable adaptations to exercise, and they begin to occur at the molecular level within days of the first training session. (thehorse.com)
  • The arterial blood supply of this muscle is provided by branches of the artery of the median nerve, muscular branches of the ulnar artery, and, occasionally, branches of the radial artery. (medscape.com)
