Muscularity and Its Relation to Running Mechanics in Sprinters. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol …

Hip extensor muscle size is related to sprint running performance. However, the
mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. To gain insights into this issue, the …

We aimed to demonstrate the changes over time in the lengths and forces of the muscles
crossing the hip joint during overground sprinting and investigate the relationships between …

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 …

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 …

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how the cross-sectional areas (CSA) of the
quadriceps femoris (QF) 3, hamstrings (Ham), and psoas major (PM) in junior sprinters are …

The present study aimed to determine the differences in thicknesses of the lower leg and
foot muscles between sprinters and non-sprinters and to examine the relationship between …

This study aimed to investigate how the trunk muscularity is related to sprint running
performance. In 23 youth soccer players, the cross-sectional images at the mid level of each …

Excellence in either sprinting or endurance running requires specific musculo‐skeletal
characteristics of the legs. This study aims to investigate the morphology of the leg of …
