Muscle ultrasound can detect insulin resistance and lower muscle mass, according to a study published online June 12 in the Journal of Ultrasound Medicine. Steven B. Soliman, D.O., from the University ...

Your quads (made up of the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, rectus femoris) do most of the work.

Spanish squats strengthen key muscles like the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis—two parts of the quads muscles (front of the thigh) that help stabilize and extend the knee joint—and can ...

What are the benefits of leg extension exercise? Leg extension exercise primarily targets the quadriceps femoris, a large muscle group in the front and sides of your thighs, including the rectus ...

Background: Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a common feature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is associated with intrinsic muscular abnormalities. One of the most consistently ...

We document the software validity and its capabilities on data collected from five lower limb muscles (gastrocnemius lateralis and medialis, vastus lateralis and medialis, and tibialis anterior) ...

Prolonged exercise with 50% of peak oxygen uptake was performed for 60 min. Skin blood flow (SBF) was measured using a laser blood flow meter on the right vastus lateralis muscle. Deoxygenated ...

A new study analysed whether exercise selection has an effect on hypertrophy on specific muscles. The results are in, here's the best exercises to build muscle ...

Morphologically detailed motoneuron pool for the vastus lateralis muscle. the model is composed of three cell types: fast fatigable (FF), slow (S), and fast fatigue resistant (FR). The model is based ...

Objective: Ablative treatments can sometimes cause collateral injury to surrounding muscular tissue, with important clinical implications. In this study, we investigated the changes in muscle ...
