| Abstract | Background Muscle architecture is closely related to muscle function. Increased knowledge of growth changes in muscle architecture will provide insights into the development of human movements and sports performance during the growth period. However, it is unclear how the muscle architecture of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) grows. This study examined the effects of growth on the muscle architecture of MG. Methods The brightness-mode ultrasonography technique was used to measure the muscle thickness, pennation angle, and fascicle length of MG in 146 Japanese boys aged to 6.2 − 17.9 years. The relative muscle thickness was calculated by dividing the absolute muscle thickness by body mass1/3. The years from the age at peak height velocity were estimated for each participant, and used as the maturity index. A simple regression analysis was performed for the two variables in the full age range, as well as separately for the 5 − 12 years and 12 − 19 years subgroups. Results and conclusion The maturity index and chronological age were positively correlated with the relative muscle thickness, pennation angle, and fascicle length of MG. Subgroup analyses showed that chronological age was significantly correlated with the pennation angle, fascicle length, and absolute muscle thickness, except for the pennation angle of the 5 − 12 years subgroup. The present results indicate that muscle hypertrophy and elongation of fascicle length occur with growth. Our findings also suggest that the growth changes in pennation angle of MG differ between pre-adolescence and adolescence. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
