Introduction The decision regarding when to return sport after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is important one. Using a variety of subjective and objective parameters, various attempts have been made determine optimal timeline for ACLR, but none validated. aim the present study therefore which criteria or combination could allow with lowest possible risk reinjury. Methods analysis This prospective cohort, single-centre study, repeated assessments at 6, 9 12 months...
Abstract The aim was to determine the position of one-repetition maximum (1RM) squat point on force-velocity (F-V) relationship obtained during jump (SJ). Ten healthy athletes performed a 1RM which ground reaction force and lower-limb extension velocity were measured, six loaded SJs individual F-V relationship. goodness fit linear with or without tested. vertical horizontal coordinates determined relative theoretical maximal (F0) highest SJ (load 44.5±4.6% 1RM). did not differ condition,...
Downhill sections are highly strenuous likely contributing to the development of neuromuscular fatigue in trail running. Our purpose was investigate consequences an intense downhill run (DTR) on peripheral and central at knee extensors (KE) plantar flexors (PF). Twenty-three runners performed a 6.5-km DTR (1264-m altitude drop) as fast possible. The electromyographic activity vastus lateralis (VL) gastrocnemius (GL) continuously recorded. Neuromuscular functions were assessed Pre-, Post-,...

Minimizing musculo-skeletal damage and fatigue is considered paramount for performance in trail running. Our purposes were to investigate the effects of foot strike pattern its variability on (a) muscle activity during a downhill run (b) immediate delayed neuromuscular fatigue. Twenty-three runners performed 6.5-km (1264 m negative elevation change). Electromyographic lower-limb muscles was recorded continuously. Heel metatarsal accelerations identify running technique. Peripheral central...
Women have been shown to experience less neuromuscular fatigue than men in knee extensors (KE) and peripheral plantar flexors (PF) after ultratrail running, but it is unknown if these differences exist for shorter trail running races whether this may impact economy. The purpose of study was characterize sex fatigability over a range distances examine possible the postrace alteration cost (Cr).Eighteen pairs women were matched by performance completing different ranging from 40 171 km,...
Whether the neural control of manual behaviors differs between dominant and nondominant hand is poorly understood. This study aimed to determine whether level common synaptic input motor neurons innervating same or different muscles hand. Seventeen participants performed two tasks with distinct mechanical requirements: an isometric pinch rotation a pinched dial. Each task was at 30% maximum effort repeated Motor units were identified from intrinsic (flexor digitorum interosseous thenar) one...
Abstract This study investigated the effects of shoe drop on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in female runners. Fifteen healthy runners ran a 15‐m runway at their preferred speed with three different shoe‐drop conditions: 0 ( D ), 6 ) 10 mm. Three‐dimensional marker positions ground reaction forces were recorded to analyse kinetic kinematic parameters using zero‐ (0D) one‐dimensional (1D) metrics (statistical parametric mapping, SPM). Regarding 0D parameters, significantly higher loading...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect handle shape on grip force distribution in hand and muscle forces during maximal power tasks. Eleven subjects maximally grasped 3 handles with different external shapes (circular, elliptic, double-frustum). A dynamometer, equipped both a sensor pressure map, was used record exerted at hand/handle interface. finger wrist joint postures also computed from synchronized kinematic measurement. These processed data then as input...
Ultramarathon running includes two main types of events: single-stage race (SSR) and multistage races (MSR). Direct comparison neuromuscular fatigue recovery after SSR versus MSR comparable distance elevation has never been performed. The aim this study was to assess ultramarathons equal performed either (i) in a single stage or (ii) four successive days.Thirty-one runners participated the study: 17 ran 169 km 14 around 40 km·d over 4 d. were on same course.

Fatigue has previously been investigated in trail running by comparing maximal isometric force before and after the race. Isometric contractions may not entirely reflect fatigue-induced changes, therefore dynamic evaluation is warranted.

ABSTRACT Footwear has the potential to reduce soft‐tissue vibrations (STV) but responses are highly subject‐specific. Recent evidence shows that compressive garments minimizing STV have a beneficial effect on neuromuscular (NM) fatigue. The aim was determine whether an individualized midsole hardness can minimize and NM fatigue during half marathon. Twenty experienced runners were recruited for three visits: familiarization session including identification of maximizing amplitude (MIN MAX,...
