A muscle with a pennation angle of 0 degrees transmits 100% of its contractile force through the tendon, whereas the same muscle with a pennation angle of 30 degrees transmits 86% of its force through the tendon. Most human muscles have pennation angles that range 0 to 30 degrees

1/6 This is a special one for me. There had long been this idea that the shape of myofibers, especially the type IIs, was different in old vs young. This was partially driven by a great review by one of my supervisors (PMID: 12535316), but there were few quantitative evaluations
💫Just out before the end of the year🎇 Marked irregular myofiber shape is a hallmark of human skeletal muscle ageing and is reversed by heavy resistance training 💪Casper @Soendenbroe @ISMCopenhagen #BispebjergHospital #MyoTwitter doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.13405
