muscle activation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    On sarcomere length stability during isometric contractions before and after active stretching
    Kaleena Johnston, Eng Kuan Moo, Azim Jinha, Walter Herzog
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209924 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209924 Published 27 November 2019

    Summary: Sarcomere lengths are more stable in the force-enhanced than the isometric reference state and sarcomere length instability does not necessarily correlate with sarcomere length non-uniformity and should therefore not be treated as the same phenomenon.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The slack test does not assess maximal shortening velocity of muscle fascicles in humans
    Robin Hager, Sylvain Dorel, Antoine Nordez, Giuseppe Rabita, Antoine Couturier, Hugo Hauraix, Jacques Duchateau, Gaël Guilhem
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb169623 doi: 10.1242/jeb.169623 Published 10 August 2018

    Summary: The slack test does not assess the true maximal shortening velocity of muscle fascicles in humans and does not appear appropriate for in vivo measurements.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of activation on the elastic properties of intact soleus muscles with a deletion in titin
    Jenna A. Monroy, Krysta L. Powers, Cinnamon M. Pace, Theodore Uyeno, Kiisa C. Nishikawa
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 828-836; doi: 10.1242/jeb.139717

    Summary: Rapid unloading of intact wild-type and Ttn mutant soleus muscles indicates that titin, an elastic element within muscle sarcomeres, is activated upon Ca2+ influx in skeletal muscle.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Musculoskeletal modelling of the dragonfly mandible system as an aid to understanding the role of single muscles in an evolutionary context
    Sina David, Johannes Funken, Wolfgang Potthast, Alexander Blanke
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1041-1049; doi: 10.1242/jeb.132399

    Summary: A musculoskeletal model of the mandible–muscle complex for dragonflies is developed in order to understand the mechanical and evolutionary significance of single muscles within this system.

  • MUSCLE IN MOTION
    Locomotion as an emergent property of muscle contractile dynamics
    Andrew A. Biewener
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 285-294; doi: 10.1242/jeb.123935

    Summary: The in vivo dynamics of muscle contractile function reflect the interplay of muscle–tendon architecture and neural activation timing relative to the forces and work that muscles produce to power locomotor movement.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Environmental interaction influences muscle activation strategy during sand-swimming in the sandfish lizard Scincus scincus
    Sarah S. Sharpe, Yang Ding, Daniel I. Goldman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 260-274; doi: 10.1242/jeb.070482
