Muscle fascicle length adaptations to high-velocity training in young adults with cerebral palsy by Tessa L. Gallinger, Tessa L. Gallinger, Brian R. MacIntosh, Jared R. Fletcher, Jared R. Fletcher

“…HVT also resulted in a very large effect for Pmax in CP-T (+35.0 ± 49.1%, d = 1.093, p = 0.232), but only a small effect was observed in CP-NT (+7.8 ± 49.1%, d = 0.245, p = 1.00). HA had significantly greater Pmax (p &lt; 0.001), longer resting and active fascicle lengths (p &lt; 0.001) and greater muscle force (p &lt; 0.001), compared to CP-T.DiscussionHVT is a feasible training intervention to increase triceps surae muscle fascicle length in individuals with CP. …”
