Stress‐strain Relationship in Skeletal Muscle

A Review of Some Biomechanical Principles That Govern the Response Characteristics of Anatomic Materials.

“…This increase in strength with increased loading is typical of composite, nonlinear, viscoelastic materials that exhibit dilatant mechanical behavior (ibid. ), such as muscles [11,17] and other types of soft anatomical tissues [21,30]. Moreover, as was the case in Region 1, here, too, the upward shift of threshold break points is uniform, across the board, so that threshold ranges-for example, from the upper limit of "routine" activities of daily living to the lower limit of the next Region 4-again, remain the same.…”

“…Likewise, threshold load levels (break points) for tissue damage and subsequent adaptation are also raised. In other words, adaptive mechanisms in the increased stress tolerance region of material loading cause the entire set of break points that demarcate the lower and upper limits of the respective loading ranges involved to be basically shifted upward-a strain-hardening or dilatant effect [11,17,21]. That being the case, what are enhanced are both (a) the tolerance of the subject tissue to subsequent loading across-the-board, and (b) its ability to adapt to increased load levels.…”

The Effect of Short-Set High-Load and Long-Set Low-Load Isometric Exercises Based on Stress-Strain Isometric Time-Dependent Strength Trial on Weightlifters Performing Resistance Training Periodization

“…In addition, isometric strain energy generally worked on high load stress used to high force potential production by self-selected time speed (4). Accordingly, isometric sustained contraction potential force phases progress load time set relationship on reaching high strength effort and variable strain force enhancement (6,7). Therefore, isometric modeling deload resistance training regimes were including both low load high set or high load low set within light weeks and recovery weeks previously non-planned on short time resistance training periodization.…”
