In addition to its size and the extent of its neural activation, a muscle's geometry (the angles
and lengths of its fibres or fascicles) strongly influences its force production characteristics …

Background The architectural characteristics of muscle (fascicle length, pennation angle
muscle thickness) respond to varying forms of stimuli (eg, training, immobilisation and …

Skeletal muscle has the remarkable ability to remodel and adapt, such as the increase in
serial sarcomere number (SSN) or fascicle length (FL) observed after overstretching a …

Studies using animal models have been unable to determine the mechanical stimuli that
most influence muscle architectural adaptation. We examined the influence of contraction …

This paper reviews three of our recent studies on human muscle architecture in vivo. 1.
Hypertrophic changes: From B-mode ultrasonograms, pennation angles and thickness of …

Muscle performance is closely related to the architecture and dimensions of the muscle–
tendon unit and the effect of maturation on these architectural characteristics in humans is …

Objectives: The study aimed to assess acute changes in muscle architecture and its
recovery after exhaustive exercise. We hypothesised that repetitive leg press exercise would …
