Abstract

Purpose

The aponeurosis, a sheet of fibrous tissue, is the deep and superficial fascia where muscle fibers attach in pennate muscles. It is quite possible that the aponeurosis size increases in response to resistance training-induced fiber hypertrophy due to an increase in connection area. As a result, it leads to an increase in anatomical muscle cross-sectional area. However, attention has not been paid to aponeurosis area changes. This review sought to determine whether muscle hypertrophy changes aponeurosis width following short-term resistance training using an equation we modified [post/pre changes in aponeurosis width (AW_post/pre) = post/pre changes in anatomical cross-sectional area (CSA_post/pre) ÷ post/pre changes in pennation angle (PA_post/pre) ÷ post/pre changes in fascicle length (FL_post/pre)].

Methods

A search using two electronic databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) was conducted. Nine studies measured CSA_post/pre, PA_post/pre, and FL_post/pre of the vastus lateralis muscle by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Results

There was a statistically significant 2.73 [95% CI 1.11, 4.36; p = 0.009] cm² increase in CSA_post/pre along with a statistically significant 1.21° [95% CI 0.44, 1.97; p = 0.002] increase in PA_post/pre and a statistically significant 0.36 cm [95% CI 0.19, 0.54; p = 0.0002] increase in FL_post/pre. These results yield an estimated 1% reduction in aponeurosis width.

Conclusion

Our results suggest that while muscle CSA, pennation angle, and fascicle length all increase following short-term resistance training, the aponeurosis width is not altered.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Open Access Hüftgelenksbewegungseinschränkung Leitthema

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
