Contraction type dependence of serial sarcomere addition following resistance training

Amelia Rilling, Alexander M. Zero, Alexandra Q. Kirkup, Maxum Stratford, Kathryn Chapman, Avery Hinks, Geoffrey A. Power

This study examines how different contraction types during resistance training affect serial sarcomere addition in rats, finding that isometric and eccentric training drive sarcomerogenesis more than concentric training.

Changes in serial sarcomere number of five hindlimb muscles across adult aging in rats

Avery Hinks, Geoffrey A. Power

This study examines age-related changes in serial sarcomere number across five hindlimb muscles in rats at four aging timepoints, finding significant SSN loss contributing to muscle mass decline.

Residual force enhancement is not altered while force depression is amplified at the cellular level in old age

Binta S. Njai, Avery Hinks, Makenna A. Patterson, Geoffrey A. Power

The study examines residual force enhancement and depression in old age, finding that force depression is amplified at the cellular level while force enhancement remains unchanged.

Residual force enhancement decreases when scaling from the single muscle fibre to joint level in humans

Avery Hinks, K. B. E. Jacob, Makenna A. Patterson, Benjamin E. Dalton, Geoffrey A. Power

This study compares residual force enhancement (rFE) at the single fibre and joint levels in humans, finding greater rFE at the single fibre level and non-responder phenomena only at the joint level.

Age-related differences in the loss and recovery of serial sarcomere number following disuse atrophy in rats

Avery Hinks, Geoffrey A. Power

This study compares age-related differences in serial sarcomere number recovery and muscle function after disuse in young and old rats, finding older rats recover longitudinal morphology better than parallel morphology.
