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

The present review summarizes current evidence and unresolved issues regarding training-
induced changes in the architecture of human skeletal muscles. As architectural parameters …

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 …

ABSTRACT BLAZEVICH, AJ, ND GILL, R. BRONKS, and RU NEWTON. Training-Specific
Muscle Architecture Adaptation after 5-wk Training in Athletes. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol …

Recent research using muscle-imaging techniques has revealed a remarkable plasticity of
human muscle architecture where significant changes in fascicle lengths and angles have …

The present paper reviews previous studies on changes in muscle architecture in humans
as a result of strength training. Muscle architecture here refers to 1) muscle size, 2) …

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 …

Background Muscle plasticity is an important topic in the fields of sport science and physical
therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine whether muscle fascicle length increases …

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 …

A muscle's architecture, described by geometric variables such as fascicle pennation angles
or lengths, plays a crucial role in its functionality. Usually, single parameters are used to …
