Grasping behavior in the white-tailed sea eagle (Accipitridae, Aves) explained by muscle architecture
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-07)
Hindlimbs of raptors play an essential role in feeding due to the grasping abilities that allow them to hunt and kill their prey. This study explores and quantifies for the first time the structural and mechanical features ...
The Predictability from Skull Morphology of Temporalis and Masseter Muscle Cross-Sectional Areas in Humans
(Wiley, 2015)
To carry out functional simulations of the masticatory system that aim to predict strain magnitudes it is important to apply appropriate jaw-elevator muscle forces. Force magnitude estimation from directly measured muscle ...
Effects of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction on muscle size and strength of professional soccer players with muscle imbalance
(Int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2017-12-01)
The purposes of this study were: 1) to determine whether low intensity resistance training combined with blood flow restriction (LI-BFR) could affect the concentric hamstrings/quadriceps muscle strength ratio (Hcon: Qcon) ...
Hamstrings-to-quadriceps strength and size ratios of male professional soccer players with muscle imbalance
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the concentric hamstrings/quadriceps muscle strength (Hcon :Qcon ) and cross-sectional area ratios (Hcsa :Qcsa ) in professional soccer players with Hcon :Qcon ...
Jaw myology and bite force of the monk parakeet (Aves, Psittaciformes)
(Wiley, 2015-06)
Psittaciform birds exhibit novelties in jaw bone structure and musculature that are associated with strong bite forces. These features include an ossified arcus suborbitalis and the muscles ethmomandibularis and pseudomasseter. ...
Reliable assessment of forearm photoageing by high-frequency ultrasound: a cross-sectional study
(Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the Société Française de Cosmétologie., 2015-09-09)
High-frequency ultrasound is a non-invasive tool used in skin ageing research to assess dermis thickness and echogenicity. This study evaluated the reliability of a range of high-frequency ultrasound parameters and tested ...
Patterns and Determinants of Physical Inactivity in Rural and Urban Areas in Peru: A Population-Based Study
(Human Kinetics, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors have been linked with impaired health outcomes. Establishing the physical inactivity profiles of a given population is needed to establish program targets and to ...
Reliable assessment of forearm photoageing by high-frequency ultrasound: a cross-sectional study
(Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the Société Française de Cosmétologie., 2015)
Bite Force in Four Pinniped Species from the West Coast of Baja California, Mexico, in Relation to Diet, Feeding Strategy, and Niche Differentiation
(Springer, 2020)
Behavioral foraging differences are known to aid in food resource partitioning in pinniped communities, but it is not known whether skull biomechanical efficiency also contributes to dietary niche partitioning. We tested ...
