Interactions Among Protein, Electrolytes and Water Determined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Hydrodynamic Equilibria (Nmr)
… the presence of salt has not been investigated. Biceps femoris muscle was dialyzed against distilled water and increasing levels of salt were added to seven aliquots. Sorption and desorption isotherm data at 5(DEGREES)C were obtained. Hysteresis was found only at a(,w) above 0.75 and the degree …

Effect of Hot Processing, Mechanical Tenderization, and Tumbling on Ham Yield and Quality Characteristics
… and formed ham (pork adductor-semimembranous and biceps femoris muscles) characteristics was evaluated. Hot (pre-rigor) processed meat tissue exhibited higher pH, water holding capacity, and cooked yield (1.5 to 2.0%) characteristics, but pH and water holding capacity was not correlated to cooked …

Biomechanical Assessment of Varied Lifting Tasks With and Without Passive Back Support Exoskeletons
… activity. Although there is a trade-off with the biceps femoris for these lift styles, back injuries are far more prevalent and supporting the back takes priority over minimizing muscle activity in the legs. The analysis for Asymmetric Squat, Bend Walk, Bent Over, and Kneeling was divided into …

A comparison of oxygen consumption, RPE and lower limb EMG activity in toning versus running shoes on uphill, level and downhill walking
… of grade. Soleus, vastus medialis, and biceps femoris showed activation differences in specific gait phases. There was a main effect for absolute and relative oxygen consumption, RPE and HR only with grade. Shoe type showed no effect. CONCLUSION: Though there is no difference in overall …

Muscle performance during slow isokinetic speeds
… EMG (aEMG) of the vastus lateralis (VL) and biceps femoris (BF) were quantified at knee angles of 55° and 65°. Six ANOVA (alpha = 0.05) tests determined a decrease in FT (p < 0.05) at both knee angles and a decrease in VL aEMG (p < 0.05) at 55° during 5°/sec condition compared to …

Muscle guarding during Kt-1000 testing as measured by electromyography
… tested are the Semimembranosis (SM), the Rectus femoris (RF), the Biceps femoris (BF), the lateral head of the Gastrocnemius (LG), and the medial head of the Gastrocnemius. The resting test (Zero Newtons) involved placing the KT-1000 on a participant but not applying any force. The 89 Newton …

Factors influencing crosslink formation in muscle tissue
… was higher (p < 0.05) for longissimus thoracis, biceps femoris, and (p < 0.10) for supraspinatus of control animals. Muscle soluble collagen content decreased linearly as chronological age increased LT R2 = 0.98; LL R 2 = 0.92; TB R2 = 0.99; BF R2 = 0.99; ST R2 = 0.95; SM R2 = 0.99; SS R2 = 0.36. …

INCREASE IN 1RM BACK SQUAT AFTER ABDOMINAL STABILIZING MANEUVERS
… surface electromyography of the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus, rectus abdominis, external oblique and erector spinae were analyzed in well trained individuals (n=13). A 1RM back squat protocol was performed under three conditions: control session, AB and AH. A …

Effects of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on gluteus medius muscle fiber composition and muscle performance in adult Thoroughbred horses exercising to fatigue on a high-speed treadmill
… SET for lactate measurements. Heart rate (HR), biceps femoris (BF) and semitendinosus (ST) surface electromyograms, and fore- and hindlimb metacarpophalangeal joint angles were captured for the duration of the SET. Results demonstrate that HMB supplementation increased (P < 0.05) the percentage …

Hydrodynamic Shock Wave Effects on Protein Functionality
USDA Select bovine Biceps femoris (BF) samples were divided into four sections and randomly assigned to three hydrodynamic shock wave (HSW) treatments and a control. Different amounts of explosive (105 g, H1; 200 g, H2; 305 g, H3) were suspended in the center of the hemishell tank, 26.7 cm above …
