The myofibroblast model, by contrast, proposes that myofibroblasts, which synthesize much greater amounts of the contractile protein, α-smooth muscle actin, than do fibroblasts, are responsible for tension generation by actively contracting to generate force [ 9].
Ability to generate force from the core musculature is a critical factor for sports and general activities with insufficiencies predisposing individuals to injury.
Project 1: Understand how motor proteins use chemical energy to generate force and motion.
The ability of cells to generate force is also dependent on their rheological properties such as cell stiffness [24, 25].
The relationship between smooth muscle's ability to shorten and to generate force is characterized by the force-velocity relationship.
Piazza is trying to alter his throws from an upright position to use his lower body instead of relying almost entirely on his arm to generate force.
They seemed to confirm his theory that these types of spiral movements may be a particularly efficient way to generate force in a small sphere of space.
Details of the sarcomere and the electrical and mechanical coupling of its elements will provide the basis for understanding the ability of muscle to generate force.
"The muscles of most species are very similar," he said, "and inside every muscle fiber are the same long, organic molecules, the same actin, myosin and troponin that latch onto each other to generate force".
(TIF 826 kb) Additional file 2: Step 2 Flexing of elbows and knees to generate force.
However, in most animal species maturation of the ability to generate force does not correlate with maturation of airway responsiveness.
