Skeletal muscle undergoes continuous turnover to adapt to changes in its mechanical
environment. Overload increases muscle mass, whereas underload decreases muscle …

Spasticity, following the neurological disorder of cerebral palsy (CP), describes a
pathological condition, the central feature of which is involuntary and prolonged muscle …

The active and passive contractile performance of skeletal muscle fibers largely depends on
the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform and the stiffness of the titin spring, respectively. Open …

The giant muscle protein titin has become a focus of research interests in the field of muscle
mechanics due to its importance for passive muscle stiffness. Here we summarize research …

Spasticity, following the neurological disorder of cerebral palsy (CP), describes a
pathological condition, the central feature of which is involuntary and prolonged muscle …

Support withdrawal has been currently considered as one of the main factors involved in
regulation of the human locomotor system. For last decades, several authors, including the …

The decrease in postural muscle fiber size, diminishing of their contractile properties, slow-to-
fast shift in myosin heavy chain expression pattern are known to be the main consequences …

We examined the effects of 35 and 90 days of simulated microgravity with or without
resistance-exercise (RE) countermeasures on the content of the general skeletal muscle …

Abstract Introduction/Aims Effective strategies for rapid recovery after surgery are needed.
Therefore, we investigated the effects of exercise prehabilitation (EP) and hindlimb …

The aim of this research was the analysis of structural changes in various parts of the
sarcolemma and contractile apparatus of muscle fibers by measuring their transversal …
