Sentence examples for lengthened position from inspiring English sources

"The way we hold ourselves while sitting or standing can have a huge impact on the activation of certain muscle groups - some will become locked in a shortened position and others will become locked in a lengthened position, unable to shorten effectively," says Russ Harris, head of education at SIX3NINE.

Although several studies found that passive-training regimens do modestly increase flexibility, it may be more effective to do something called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), where people extend their muscles and then try to contract them from a lengthened position, Tilp said.

Strengthening exercise should be performed with the hamstrings in a lengthened position.

We attempted to have both groups perform a similar magnitude of stretching (3 × 30 seconds), however the nature of dynamic stretching means the dynamic group spent less time in a lengthened position.

While the concept of eccentric muscle training as an important component of the rehabilitation process has been with us for many years, it now appears that these exercises must be in the lengthened position.

There are also studies suggesting that muscle length influences contraction speed such that chronic stretch makes a muscle slower; immobilization of fast muscles in a lengthened position thus increases the fraction of slow fibres (Goldspink, 1999; Goldspink et al., 1992, 1991; Loughna et al., 1990; Pattullo et al., 1992).

One would expect improved diaphragmatic function after lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) only if the muscle can readapt to its elevated, lengthened postoperative position by either adding back sarcomeres or lengthening sarcomeres.

Thus, we can conclude that in order to end up with a normal alignment after lengthening, the femoral anatomical-mechanical angle (AMA) in the post-lengthening position will be less than that in the pre-lengthening position and that the more you lengthen, the less the femoral anatomical-mechanical angle (AMA) would be.

The adaptive response of tenocytes has been shown, in vivo, to be related to the magnitude of applied strain; e.g., exercise in a shortened (low strain) position leads to less tendon adaptation than exercise in a lengthened (high strain) position [ 31].

#Proto-Hebrew words with an open long penult and longer ending: ??? */a i u/ were reduced to /ə/ in the second syllable before the stress, and occasionally reduced rather than lengthened in pretonic position, especially when initial (e.g. σεμω = שמו /ʃəˈmo/ "his name").

This allows the muscle spindles to habituate (become accustomed) to an even further-lengthened position.
