We examined the relationship between passive stiffness of posterior hip and thigh muscles and muscle power output before and after normalization of passive stiffness to muscle cross-sectional area (CSA).
Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were used to assess the relationships between the normalized and non-normalized slopes of the initial (phase 1) and final (phase 2) portions of the angle-torque curve and peak power output (Pmax).
A significant positive relationship was observed between the non-normalized slope of phase 1 and Pmax (r = 0.723; P ≤ 0.001); however, no correlations were observed between the normalized slope of phase 1 and Pmax (r = 0.244; P = 0.299) nor between Pmax and the normalized and non-normalized slopes of phase 2 (r = -0.159-0.418; P = 0.067-0.504).
The findings suggest that muscle size, rather than stiffness, accounted for a significant portion of the variance in muscle power output.
我们研究了髋关节和大腿后肌被动僵硬与肌肉力量输出之间的关系,以及在将被动僵硬归一化为肌肉横截面积(CSA)前后的关系。
采用皮尔逊相关系数(r)评估初始(第 1 阶段)和最终(第 2 阶段)角度-扭矩曲线的归一化和非归一化斜率与最大功率输出(Pmax)之间的关系。
观察到第 1 阶段非归一化斜率与 Pmax 之间存在显著正相关关系(r=0.723;P≤0.001);然而,在第 1 阶段的归一化斜率与 Pmax 之间没有观察到相关性(r=0.244;P=0.299),第 2 阶段的归一化和非归一化斜率与 Pmax 之间也没有相关性(r=-0.159-0.418;P=0.067-0.504)。
研究结果表明,肌肉力量输出的变化主要归因于肌肉大小,而不是僵硬度。
