From fibre to function: are we accurately representing muscle architecture and performance?
The size and arrangement of fibres play a determinate role in the kinetic and energetic
performance of muscles. Extrapolations between fibre architecture and performance …

Quantity versus quality: age-related differences in muscle volume, intramuscular fat, and mechanical properties in the triceps surae
With aging comes reductions in the quality and size of skeletal muscle. These changes
influence the force-generating capacity of skeletal muscle and contribute to movement …
