The size and arrangement of fibres play a determinate role in the kinetic and energetic
performance of muscles. Extrapolations between fibre architecture and performance …

Skeletal muscle is a highly complex tissue that is studied by scientists from a wide spectrum
of disciplines, including motor control, biomechanics, exercise science, physiology, cell …

It has been proposed that movements are produced through groups of muscles, or motor
modules, activated by common neural commands. However, the neural origin of motor …

Cross talk is an important source of error in interpreting surface electromyography (EMG)
signals. Here, we aimed at characterizing cross talk for three groups of synergistic muscles …

The geometrical representation of muscles in computational models of the musculoskeletal
system typically consists of a series of line segments. These muscle anatomies are based on …

During locomotion, force-producing limb muscles are predominantly responsible for an
animal's whole body metabolic energy expenditure. Animals can change the length of their …

For detailed analyses of muscle adaptation mechanisms during growth, ageing or disease,
reliable measurements of muscle architecture are required. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

Due to its exceptional sensitivity to soft tissues, MRI has been extensively utilized to assess
anatomical muscle parameters such as muscle volume and cross‐sectional area …

The human ankle joint and plantar flexor muscle–tendon unit play an important role in
endurance running. It has been assumed that muscle and tendon interactions and their …

Little is known about the factors that influence the coordination of synergist muscles that act
across the same joint, even during single-joint isometric tasks. The overall aim of this study …
