Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present study examined, whether or not mechanomyogram (MMG) amplitude and frequency component could reflect the contractile properties of the triceps surae muscles, composed of relatively slow soleus (SOL) and fast medial gastrocnemius (MG), during experimentally induced hypothermia condition. In eight male subjects, lying in prone position, supramaximal single twitch and repetitive electrical stimulations at 10 Hz were applied at the intramuscular temperatures of control (34 °C), 15, 20, and 25 °C, respectively. The hypothermia induced substantial reduction in muscle contractile properties, e.g. prolonged twitch contraction and half relaxation times, resulted in a highly significant reduction in the fluctuation of force signal during the repetitive stimulations. These changes were almost mirrored by the similar and significant reductions in the MMG amplitude in both SOL and MG. Power spectrum analysis revealed that peak frequency components of MMG and fluctuation of force were almost matched with the applied stimulation frequencies, independent of the temperature condition. These results strongly suggest that MMG analysis could be employed to study muscle contractile properties varying across different physiological conditions.
