  1. Musculotendinous stiffness and muscle function

    Viljoen, Lawrence WayneDepartment of Human Biology2004

    … the contribution of the elastic properties of muscle and tendon to stretch shortening cycle performance. The results are variable, perhaps as a result of the different techniques utilised. Although several studies have suggested an association between a more compliant muscle-tendon complex, and …

  2. Lower limb muscle function during cycling.

    Curry, Daniel T.University of Ottawa (Canada)2009

    The purpose of this study was to describe the functional role of the lower limb musculature during stationary cycling using electromyography, muscle-tendon unit length changes, and segmental kinematics. Five subjects were filmed (100 Hz) in synchrony with the collection of LE EMG activity of the …

  10. The Role of Vitamin D in Skeletal Muscle Function and Regeneration

    Owens, DJLiverpool John Moores University2015

    Skeletal muscle is a direct target for the group of seco-steroids collectively termed Vitamin D. Skeletal muscle expresses both CYP27A1 and CYP27B1 encoding for the hydroxylases required to convert Vitamin D to 25[OH]D and subsequently the bioactive 1α-25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α-25[OH]2D3) (Girgis …
