In most daily activities related to work or leisure, the energy for muscle work substantially
comes from oxidative metabolism. Functional limitations or impairments of this metabolism …

In order to study the effects of increasing age on the human skeletal muscle, cross-sections
(15 μm) of autopsied whole vastus lateralis muscle from 43 previously physically healthy …

Aging is characterized by loss of spinal motor neurons (MNs) due to apoptosis, reduced
insulin‐like growth factor I signaling, elevated amounts of circulating cytokines, and …

This review addresses the effects of fatiguing general muscular exercise (involving the
whole body) and fatiguing local muscular exercise (involving a particular muscular group) …

This study presents data collected over the past 10 years on the muscle fiber type
composition of the vastus lateralis muscle of young men and women. Biopsies were taken …

Skeletal muscle undergoes substantial adaptation when it is subjected to a strength training
regimen. At one extreme, these effects are manifested as profound morphological changes …

The effects of aging on the total number and size of fibers, and the proportion and
distribution of type 1 (slow twitch) and type 2 (fast twitch) fibers were studied in cross …

In this study, 60 female subjects, aged between 25 and 40 years, were divided into two
equal groups on the basis of absence or presence of headache. A passive accessory …

The objective of this course is to provide the opportunity to explore the mechanics of
muscular contraction and to examine how the mechanical properties of the muscle work …
