Allometry of muscle, tendon, and elastic energy storage capacity in mammals

Thus the maximum amount of stress a tendon may experience in vivo, as indicated by the ratio of muscle and tendon cross-sectional areas, increases with body mass in digital flexors and ankle extensors. Consequently, the capacity for elastic energy storage scales with positive allometry in these tendons but is isometric in the digital extensors ...

How tendons buffer energy dissipation by muscle

During rapid energy-dissipating events, tendons buffer the work done on muscle by temporarily storing elastic energy, then releasing this energy to do work on the muscle. This elastic mechanism may reduce the risk of muscle damage by reducing peak forces and lengthening rates of active muscle. Keywords: Muscle, tendon, elastic energy, energy ...

Contribution of elastic tissues to the mechanics and energetics of muscle function during movement

Yet, the proposed role for elastic energy storage and recovery is the reduction of muscle work, and at least for one study of frog muscles, it does not appear that replacing muscle work with tendon work reduces cost (Holt et al., 2014).

Elastic energy storage and the efficiency of movement

The elastic potential energy stored in a perfectly linearly elastic material is: (1) E elastic = ½ kx 2 = ½ F 2 / k = ½ Fx. A spring''s stiffness is determined by its geometry and the properties of the material it is made of. Stiffness can be converted into a geometry-independent material property, the elastic modulus, by appropriate ...

Intrinsic foot muscles contribute to elastic energy storage and …

The human foot is uniquely stiff to enable forward propulsion, yet also possesses sufficient elasticity to act as an energy store, recycling mechanical energy during locomotion. Historically, this dichotomous function has been attributed to the passive contribution of the plantar aponeurosis. However, recent evidence highlights the potential …

When active, the FDB muscle fascicles contracted in an isometric manner, facilitating elastic energy storage in the tendon, in addition to the energy stored within the plantar aponeurosis. We propose that the human foot is akin to an active suspension system for the human body, with mechanical and energetic properties that can be actively …

How Tendons Buffer Energy Dissipation by Muscle : Exercise …

by Muscle. To decelerate the body and limbs, muscles lengthen actively to dissipate energy. During rapid energy-dissipating events, tendons buffer the work done on muscle by storing elastic energy temporarily, then releasing this energy to do work on the muscle. This elastic mechanism may reduce the risk of muscle damage by reducing peak forces ...

Muscle-tendon stresses and elastic energy storage during …

Elastic strain energy (ESE), arising from either work done by muscle fibers or the energy of the body, can be stored in these series elastic elements (SEEs). MTUs vary considerably in their design in terms of the relative lengths and stiffnesses of the muscle fibers and SEEs, and the force and work generating capacities of the muscle fibers.

Tendon and muscle stresses increased more steeply with changes of gait and during galloping, than during trotting. Calculations of elastic strain energy storage based on tendon stress showed similar patterns of increase with change of speed and gait, with the greatest contribution to elastic savings by the DDF tendons of the forelimb and hindlimb.
