Linking muscle architecture and function in vivo: conceptual or methodological limitations?

Amelie Werkhausen et al.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between muscle architecture and function using ultrasound-based methods. The results showed moderate correlations between different measurements of muscle architecture, but weak correlations between muscle architecture and force or work. These findings indicate the limitations of current approaches to measure muscle architecture in vivo.

The influence of longitudinal muscle fascicle growth on mechanical function

Avery Hinks et al.

Summary: This review outlines the current knowledge on the influence of longitudinal muscle fascicle growth on mechanical function and highlights the need for further research to address methodological limitations. The existing literature suggests that longitudinal muscle fascicle growth can increase optimal muscle length and force, but there is limited understanding of the overall force-length relationship and torque-angle relationship. Future studies should also investigate the effects of longitudinal fascicle growth on passive tension and joint range of motion.

Early Changes of Hamstrings Morphology and Contractile Properties during 10 d of Complete Inactivity

Martino V. Franchi et al.

Summary: During a short period of inactivity, the hamstring muscle group showed a moderate reduction in muscle dimensions, with changes in the fascicle length of the biceps femoris long head (BFlh) and alterations in BFLh contractile properties.

Effects of short-term unloading and active recovery on human motor unit properties, neuromuscular junction transmission and transcriptomic profile

Fabio Sarto et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of short-term unloading and active recovery (AR) on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and motor unit potential (MUP) and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results showed that the NMJ was destabilized at the molecular level during unloading but remained relatively stable at low contraction intensities. However, MUP properties were affected, possibly due to alterations in ion channel dynamics and initial axonal damage and denervation. These changes were fully reversed by active recovery.

Are muscle fibres of body builders intrinsically weaker? A comparison with single fibres of aged-matched controls

Elena Monti et al.

Summary: The study indicates that muscle hypertrophy in body builders does not negatively impact force generation capacity, as increases in fiber size and force are proportional once the differential swelling response is accounted for.

Muscle architecture and morphology as determinants of explosive strength

T. M. Maden-Wilkinson et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the relationships between Quadriceps muscle architecture and size, as well as patellar tendon moment arm, with explosive knee extension torque. The results showed that Quadriceps architecture and size were related to late phase explosive torque, but there were no relationships observed when explosive strength was expressed relative to maximum voluntary torque.

The Human Muscle Size and Strength Relationship: Effects of Architecture, Muscle Force, and Measurement Location

Thomas G. Balshaw et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the best muscle size index for strength by examining the influence of muscle architecture measurements. However, the results showed that incorporating muscle architecture measurements did not enhance the relationship between muscle size and strength. Muscle volume, independent of architecture measurements, was found to be most highly correlated with strength, suggesting it may be the most important determinant of strength.

Concentric versus eccentric training: Effect on muscle strength, regional morphology, and architecture

Jack Benford et al.

Summary: The study found that concentric and eccentric training have different effects on regional changes and structural adaptations of the vastus lateralis muscle. Concentric training mainly increases fascicle angle at the mid-point of the muscle, while eccentric training primarily increases fascicle length at the distal end. These regional changes may impact performance and injury risk.
