The Fate Of Childhood: Legal Models Of Childhood And Of The Parent-Child Relationship, Janet L. Dolgin

Divorces had infiltrated the burgeoning consumer culture, and the …

Peak Force And Maximal Shortening Velocity Of Soleus Fibers After Non-Weight-Bearing And Resistance Exercise, Jeffrey J. Widrick, Robert H. Fitts Jan 1997

Peak Force And Maximal Shortening Velocity Of Soleus Fibers After Non-Weight-Bearing And Resistance Exercise, Jeffrey J. Widrick, Robert H. Fitts

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Widrick, Jeffrey J., and Robert H. Fitts. Peak force and maximal shortening velocity of soleus fibers after non-weight-bearing and resistance exercise. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(1): 189–195, 1997.—This study examined the effectiveness of resistance exercise as a countermeasure to non-weight-bearing-induced alterations in the absolute peak force, normalized peak force (force/fiber cross-sectional area), peak stiffness, and maximal shortening velocity (V o) of single permeabilized type I soleus muscle fibers. Adult rats were subjected to one of the following treatments: normal weight bearing (WB), non-weight bearing (NWB), or NWB with exercise treatments (NWB+Ex). The hindlimbs of the NWB and NWB+Ex rats were …
