Spaceflight (SF) has been shown to cause skeletal muscle atrophy; a loss in force and
power; and, in the first few weeks, a preferential atrophy of extensors over flexors. The …

Muscular atrophy regularly occurs as a consequence of immobilisation or disuse after sports
injuries. Several experimental models deal with muscle atrophy and are suitable for …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Maintenance of skeletal muscle is essential for health and survival. There are marked losses
of skeletal muscle mass as well as strength and physiological function under conditions of …

Patients with heart failure frequently exhibit abnormal skeletal muscle metabolic responses
to exercise, as assessed with 31P NMR. To investigate whether these metabolic …

A kinetic model of the cross-bridge cycle in skeletal muscle is presented with special

We measured in rats the effects of 48 h of mechanical ventilation on the weight, contractile
properties, and enzymatic profile of the diaphragm, the soleus and the extensor digitorium …

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ system in mammalian organisms providing postural
control and movement patterns of varying intensity. Through evolution, skeletal muscle fibers …
