“…The elbow joint has a complex anatomical geometry. Therefore, in this research, threedimensional modeling of the elbow joint with basic geometries was carried out using the COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 program, as indicated by [35][36], and [59], to ensure a seamless FEA implementation. The proposed boundary components of this joint are shown in Figure 4.…”

“…Finally, it was obtained that there is a linear correlation between muscle fatigue and resistance [34]. Asadi Dereshgi et al (2022) investigated the displacement, stress and strain behavior of the BB muscle fiber using the finite element method by applying static forces between 2.5 N and 100 N in 5 N steps [35]. In another study, the same researchers examined the mechanical behavior of this muscle fiber with the dynamic forces derived from the biceps curl exercise [36].…”

The Rest-Pause Biceps Curl (RPBC) exercise generates a physiological response that enhances muscle growth and force in the Biceps Brachii (BB) through increased activation and fatigue. Specifically, the RPBC exercise leads to heightened muscle displacement and stress due to increased activation and fatigue. This stress results in muscle strain, and contracting of the muscle fibers, which causes microtrauma. The repair and adaptation process in response to this microtrauma can result in increased muscle size and force. This scrutiny purposed to explore the influence of isometric, concentric and eccentric contractions on the mechanical behavior of the BB muscle in the RPBC exercise at 2 kg, 3 kg and 5 kg dumbbell weights. In this study, ten healthy women aged 20 to 30 years, with a training background and no history of cardiovascular, neurological, or upper extremity disorders, were studied as subjects. This research was innovative in that it evaluated the collective effect of contractions on mechanical changes in BB muscle behavior during the exercise, without having physical contact with the muscle. In conclusion, the maximum displacement (37.56 μm), stress (355.89 Pa), and strain (3.06×10 -4 %) was achieved in the BB muscles as the subjects lifted 5 kg dumbbells. In addition, a linear correlation between muscle force and mechanical behavior in the muscle was observed for three different weights of the dumbbell. The results of this study evaluates muscle fatigue and recovery during exercise, providing insights into injury risk and prevention, and improves exercise technique and form.

“…Therefore, strengthening the BB muscle can provide numerous benefits, including improved arm strength, better aesthetics, and improved grip strength [7]. There are several effective methods to strengthen the BB muscle, including resistance training [8,9], isometric training [10], plyometric training [11], and eccentric training [12]. Resistance training involves using weights or resistance bands to perform exercises that target the BB muscle [13], whereas isometric training involves holding a static contraction of the muscle without any joint movement [14].…”

Investigation of the mechanical behavior of the biceps brachii (BB) muscle at different dynamic forces is essential to improve training techniques, prevent sports injuries and optimize rehabilitation results. In previous studies, researchers studied mechanical changes during muscle contraction using various mathematical methods and simulation models. The models adopted by the majority of these studies assumed a constant value for muscle force. However, variable muscle force has different effects on muscle mechanics. In this study, an inverse dynamic simulation model was initially utilized to determine the dynamic muscle forces generated in the BB while performing the dumbbell curl exercise with 5 kg and 10 kg weights. Subsequently, the finite element method (FEM) was used to calculate the stress and strain changes experienced by BB as a consequence of the applied forces. Moreover, simultaneous analysis through electromyography (EMG) was carried out to investigate muscle contraction during the dumbbell curl exercise. Consequently, it was concluded that the average BB force during the dumbbell curl exercise with 5 kg and 10 kg weights was 433.9 N and 695.0 N, respectively. The maximum stresses in the BB during exercise were calculated to be 960.5 Pa and 1484.9 Pa, respectively. Additionally, the maximum displacements were determined to be 102.30 μm and 158.28 μm, respectively. According to the findings of muscle force 100% increase in dumbbell weight increases the maximum muscle force by 83.13% and the average muscle force by 60.17%. Therefore, it is understood that there was no linear correlation between weight gain and muscle force.
