MOHRMAN, DAVID E., AND HARVEY V. SPARKS. Myogenic hyperemia following brief tetanus of canine skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 227(3) : 531-535. We have tested the hypothesis that a portion of the vasodilatory response to brief (1 s) tetanus could be initiated by the rapid alterations in extravascular pressure and in vascular transmural pressure associated with muscle contraction. Dogs were ane...

Introduction: Flexibility is an important physiological component of physical fitness. The length the muscletissue thought to play role in effectiveness and efficacy human movement. Calf one ofthe commonest muscle prone tightness. Most forefoot ankle problems arise due gastrocnemiusand soleus tightness contractures. To manage such a condition, stretching calf muscles are commonlyprescribed incr...

UNLABELLED Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which may occur after eccentric exercise, may cause some reduction in ability in sport activities. For this reason, several studies have been designed on preventing and controlling DOMS. As vibration training (VT) may improve muscle performance, we designed this study to investigate the effect of VT on controlling and preventing DOMS after eccent...

Content: Electromyography (EMG) is a recording of muscles electrical activity and is useful for mechanism study. In Exercise and Sport Science, mechanism of dominance and non-dominance limb activity is recently a focus area. Objective: The aim of this study is to observe the muscle electrical activity of soccer players’ dominant and non-dominant leg. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Dist...

BACKGROUND Transcutaneous in vivo electroporation is expected to be an effective gene-transfer method for promoting bone regeneration using the BMP-2 plasmid vector. To promote enhanced osteoinduction using this method, we simultaneously transferred cDNAs for BMP-2 and BMP-7, as inserts in the non-viral vector pCAGGS. METHODS First, an in vitro study was carried out to confirm the expression ...

In situ studies involving supraphysiological muscle lengths and relative positions have shown that connective tissue linkages connecting adjacent muscles can transmit substantial forces, but the physiological significance is still subject to debate. The present study investigates effects of such epimuscular myofascial force transmission in the rat calf muscles. Unlike previous approaches, we qu...
