Eccentric muscle contractions cause damage to muscle fibres which lead to pain, stiffness and loss in joint range of motion.1 The anti-inflammatory effects of cold water immersion, a form of ...

The largest average value of all windows corresponding to a single muscle contraction was considered the greatest isometric muscle strength achieved during that contraction. This procedure was ...

Sarcopenia, which is a progressive and extensive decline in muscle mass and strength, is common with aging and is estimated to affect up to 50% of people aged 80 and older. It can lead to ...

Leeds-based brand and communications agency, Ponderosa, was tasked to reposition leading performance nutrition brand, SiS’s popular energy gels to reach a multisport market.

The Schroth Method is a physical therapy approach to scoliosis treatment. It is based on exercises tailored to each patient’s spine curvature.

This study compares concentric and eccentric contraction training. How does each affect isotonic muscle strength?

Abstract Skeletal muscle force production following repetitive contractions is preferentially reduced when muscle is evaluated with low-frequency stimulation. This selective impairment in force ...

Experiments under isometric and isotonic contractions show that the proposed control system reduces hysteresis of about 72% compared to continuous activation against 15% loss in contraction force with ...

The averaged instantaneous frequency (AIF) is proposed as an alternative method for the frequency analysis of surface electromyography (EMG) in the study of muscle fatigue during sustained, isometric ...
