Sentence examples for maximal twitch contraction from inspiring English sources

After 10 days of sepsis, the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle has a smaller cross-sectional area, increased fatigability, and reduction in maximal twitch contraction among other abnormalities.

The maximally reached twitch contraction force remained almost constant with differences of less than 5% after 5 consecutive stimulations.

If the total work output decreases with sarcopenia, and there is a preferential loss of type 2 muscle fibers and motor neurons, it may result in slower twitch contraction time and maximal shortening speed causing the loss of both muscular strength and power.

In Figure 4A, the length associated with maximal twitch amplitude is shifted to the left in the posttetanic contractions.

The maximal strength (amplitude) of the muscle contraction was determined and expressed as a percentage of the twitch contraction.

Baudry and Duchateau [ 43] also found increased maximal RTD after a six-second ballistic MVC of the thumb adductor showing, however, that maximal RTD measured by twitch contractions might be greatly influenced by PAP, since it does not depend on metabolic factors such as complete restoration of the intracellular phosphocreatine reserves within the muscle.

Twitch contraction times (CT), one-half relaxation times (½ RT) and 20 50 Hz ratios (low frequency fatigue ratios) were also compared.

The onset time to maximal twitch depression and the time to clinical recovery were compared between the 2 groups.

Main Outcome Measures: Peak tetanic tension (P0), time to peak twitch contraction (TPT), half relaxation time (RT1/2), muscle mass, fiber area, and specific tension (ratio of P0/muscle mass).

Simulation results for the isometric twitch contraction time course, the length-tension and the force [Ca2+] relationships are comparable to experimental data.

Ageing is also associated with a slowing of muscle contraction and relaxation, with longer twitch contraction times [11], [18] and longer twitch half-relaxation times [10] [11].
