Fig. 7. Map of pectoralis fascicle architecture and geometry at three time points
during the downstroke: (A) maximum (Mid SB) strain at start of downstroke, (B)
maximum DPC pectoralis force, approximately one-third through downstroke, and
(C) minimum (Mid SB) strain at end of downstroke. Distal end displacements of
the defined fascicle regions shown as solid colored diamonds are referenced to
their resting position (open diamonds), proximal ends were fixed in position
and are shown as solid coloured circles. Displacements were determined using a
2D model of the pectoralis derived from digital images of the muscles that
were referenced to a calibrated coordinate system, based on fascicle lengths
and angles measured at eight defined points along the SB and six defined
points along the TB portions of the muscle. Fascicle displacements reflect the
average inter-individual strains recorded at each site, combined with their
average coordinate locations (see Fig.
1B).
