Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in force, cross-sectional area and neural activation during strength training and detraining of the human quadriceps
TL;DR: Hypertrophy produced by strength training accounts for 40% of the increase in force while the remaining 60% seems to be attributable to an increased neural drive and possibly to changes in muscle architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy cost of walking and running at extreme uphill and downhill slopes
TL;DR: The estimated maximum running speeds on positive gradients corresponded to those adopted in uphill races; on negative gradients they were well above those attained in downhill competitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical and physiological aspects of legged locomotion in humans.
F. Saibene,Alberto E. Minetti +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanics of the locomotion cannot be simply described using the models for walking and running because step frequency, the proportion of step duration during which the foot is in contact with the ground, the position of the limbs, the force exerted on the ground and the time of its application are all different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic cost, mechanical work, and efficiency during walking in young and older men
Omar S. Mian,Jeanette M. Thom,Jeanette M. Thom,Luca Paolo Ardigò,Luca Paolo Ardigò,Marco V. Narici,Alberto E. Minetti +6 more
TL;DR: To better understand the cause of the elevated metabolic cost of walking in older adults, mechanical work, efficiency, and antagonist muscle co‐activation are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of human knee extensor muscles stress from in vivo physiological cross-sectional area and strength measurements.
TL;DR: The physiological cross-sectional areas (CSAp) of the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius (VI), vastus medialis (VM) and rectus femoris (RF) were obtained, in vivo, from the reconstructed muscle volumes, angles of pennation and distance between tendons of six healthy male volunteers by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
