Functions of the Triceps Brachii in Humans: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The triceps brachii (TB) is the only muscle that lies along the posterior humerus, and its role in elbow extension has been the topic of investigation for many decades. The TB research has also included subjects such as strength training, effects of aging, training adaptions, etc. The purpose of this paper was to review some of the more unique investigations regarding the functions of the human TB. Specifically, this paper discusses articles that have explored the actions of the TB when manipulating the angles of the joints it crosses, the elbow and shoulder.

Relationship between sprint performance of front-crawl swimming and muscle fascicle length in young swimmers
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sprint performance of front-crawl swimming and muscle fascicle length in 23 male young swimmers. The sample was divided into two groups by 25-m sprint front-crawl swimming performance: 14.6-15.7 s (S1, n=11) and 15.8-17 s (S2, n=12). Muscle thickness and pennation angle and fascicle length of the Biceps Brachii (only muscle t...

متن کاملComplete rupture of the triceps brachii muscle.
Avulsion of the triceps tendon is an uncommon injury, but intramuscular rupture of the triceps brachii muscle is extremely rare. Anzel et al reviewed a series of 1014 cases of muscle and tendon injuries and found that only eight of these involved the triceps; four of the eight resulted from open lacerations. An extensive review of the literature showed only six previously reported cases of intr...
متن کاملPhysiological changes underlying bilateral isometric arm voluntary contractions in healthy humans.
Many bilateral motor tasks engage simultaneous activation of distal and proximal arm muscles, but little is known about their physiological interactions. Here, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to examine motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), interhemispheric inhibition at a conditioning-test interval of 10 (IHI(10)) and 40 ms (IHI(40)), and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) in t...
