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 …

The muscle size of the hip extensors has been suggested to be important in sprint running
performance; however, reported findings are partly inconsistent. Here, we hypothesised that …

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

Muscle hypertrophy can occur non-uniformly in athletes who repetitively perform particular
movements, presumably leading to a unique muscle size distribution along the length. The …

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 …

Sprinting at maximum velocity requires fast angular motion of the thigh and effective
hamstring function for optimum performance and injury prevention. In this cross-sectional …

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare thigh muscle volumes (MVs), and
