There is a marked difference between males and females in sprint running performance, yet
a comprehensive investigation of sex differences in the muscle morphology of sprinters …

Purpose This study aimed to compare lower body muscle volumes and vertical jumping
power between elite and subelite female sprinters and assess the relationships of these …

The influence of muscle morphology and strength characteristics on sprint running
performance, especially at elite level, is unclear. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate …

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare thigh muscle volumes (MVs), and
sprint mechanical properties and performance between male and female national-level …

BACKGROUND: The sex difference in 100-m sprint performance between the world's best
athletes is approximately 10%. We hypothesized that skeletal muscle mass (SM) relative to …

The architectural features of a muscle play an important role in determining the functional
properties of individual skeletal muscles. In the previous edition of this book (Roy & …

The aim of this study was to determine if gender differences in muscle mass explain the
gender differences in running and cycling sprint performance. Body composition (dual …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sprint performance
and architectural characteristics of leg muscles in 26 female 100-m sprinters. Pennation …

Although the magnitude of the sex difference in muscular strength is well documented, the
extent to which it reflects long-term behavioural differences in physical activity compared to …

Objective The major purpose of this study was to determine the specific muscle (s) for
superior sprint performance in sprinters. The cross sectional areas (CSAs) of ten muscles of …
