Abstract With human space exploration back in the spotlight, recent studies have investigated neuromuscular adjustments to simulated hypogravity running. They examined activity of individual muscles, whereas central nervous system may rather activate groups functionally related known as muscle synergies. To understand how locomotor control adjusts hypogravity, we temporal (motor primitives) and spatial modules) components synergies participants running sequentially at 100%, 60%, 100% body...
ABSTRACT Purpose The application of horizontal resistance is key in sprint training to modulate velocity and promote adaptations. However, the interaction between on muscle excitation remains insufficiently studied. This study assessed electromyographic (EMG) activity thigh gluteal muscles response varying during sprinting. Methods Thirty-seven elite athletes (27 females 10 males) performed two trials under three conditions: a 40-meter maximal without resisted sprints applied by robotic...
Recent discoveries in archaeology and palaeoanthropology highlight that stone tool knapping could have emerged first within the genera Australopithecus or Kenyanthropus rather than Homo. To explore implications of this hypothesis determining physical demands motor control needed for performing percussive movements during oldest toolmaking technology (i.e. Lomekwian) would help. We analysed joint angle patterns muscle activity a expert using three replication techniques: unipolar flaking on...
The acute and delayed phases of the functional recovery pattern after running exercise have been studied mainly in men. However, it seems that women are less fatigable and/or recover faster than men, at least when tested isometric condition. After a 20 km graded race, influence sex on phase 2–4 days was using horizontal ballistic force-velocity test. Nine female height male recreational runners performed maximal concentric push-offs four load levels week before race (PRE), 2 4 (D2 D4) later....
Introduction: Originally developed for astronauts, lower body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPTs) are increasingly being used in sports and clinical settings because they allow unweighted running. However, the neuromuscular adjustments to running remain understudied. They would be limited certain limb muscles interindividually variable. This study investigated whether this might related familiarization and/or trait anxiety. Methods: Forty healthy male runners were divided into two equal...
This study investigated the sex influence on acute and delayed fatigue effects of a 20 km graded running race. Eighteen recreational runners, 10 women 8 men, completed The testing protocol included five sessions: week before race (PRE), 35 ± 15 min after (POST), 2 h, 4 days (2D 4D) later. Each session uni- bilateral maximal isometric voluntary contractions knee extensors (MVC), squat jump (SJ), drop (DJ).

<h3>Background</h3> Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are prevalent in elite sports. Monitoring for (re-)injury prevention often includes tests such as the straight-leg-raise, reflecting stiffness of all tissues crossing hip joint. Alternatively, ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) allows to assess regional modulus (index elasticity) individual hamstring muscles. SWE can be particularly useful during post-injury regeneration process, where fibrous (scar) that stiffen injured area formed,...
Despite improvements in training load and fatigue monitoring, status may adversely affect intrinsic risk factors, particularly young footballers. This study aimed to better individualise the effects of a 75-min football session elite male players. Eighteen players (15.6 ± 1.7 years) completed test battery before after session. Assessments included capillary blood samples (HCO

Given that sprint running is associated a high risk of hamstring injuries, it major importance for injury prevention assess the effect such on lower limb electromyographic (EMG) activity. <h3>Objective</h3> To EMG activity in response velocity and <h3>Design</h3> Cross-sectional study. <h3>Setting</h3> One-time measurement elite who competed Olympic World...
Abstract Purpose Delayed structural and functional recovery after a 20 km graded running race was analyzed with respect to the sex effect. Method s Thirteen female 14 male recreational runners completed three test sessions: one before (PRE) two after, once on Day 1 or 2 (D1‐2) then 3 4 (D3‐4). Muscle damage assessed indirectly using ultrasonography quantify changes in cross‐sectional area (CSA) of 10 lower‐limb muscles. onset muscle soreness (DOMS) for groups. Functional quantified by...
