Regional muscle-architecture measures are reported widely; however, little is known about the variability of these measurements in rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and anterior lateral intermedius. The aim this study was to quantify variability.Regional muscle thickness, pennation angle (PA), calculated extended-field-of-view-derived fascicle length (FL) were quantified 26 participants using ultrasonography across 51 limbs on 3 occasions. To variability, typical error measurement (TEM)...

Quantifying echo intensity (EI), a proposed measure of muscle quality, is becoming increasingly popular. Additionally, much attention has been paid to regional differences in other ultrasonically evaluated measures morphology and architecture. However, the variability (proximal, middle, distal) EI vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, lateral anterior intermedius yet be determined. Twenty participants (40 limbs), were on 3 occasions, separated by 7 days. Intersession with without subcutaneous...

Abstract Individualisation can improve resistance training prescription. This is accomplished via monitoring or autoregulating training. Autoregulation adjusts variables at an individualised pace per performance, readiness, recovery. Many autoregulation and methods exist; therefore, this review’s objective was to examine approaches intended optimise adaptation. Up July 2019, PubMed, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Scopus CINAHL were searched. Only studies on of athlete useful for resistance-training...

The power clean and other weightlifting movements are commonly used in the development of muscle power. However, there is a paucity research examining use hook grip (HG) performance. Therefore, purpose this study was to compare 1-repetition maximum (1RM) kinetic, kinematic, qualitative variables across range loads (75-100%) during power-clean performance with an HG closed grip.A total 11 well-trained men (power-clean 1RM = 113.4 [15.9] kg, 1.34 × body mass) at least 3 mo experience...

Objective: Length-tension relationships are widely reported in research, rehabilitation and performance settings; however, several isometric contractions at numerous angles needed to understand these muscular outputs. Perhaps a more efficient way determine torque-angle characteristics is via isokinetic dynamometry; little known about the variability of measurements besides peak torque optimal-angle. This paper examines angle-specific impulse measures. Approach: Three sessions concentric...

Eccentric quasi-isometric (EQI) contractions (maintaining a yielding contraction for as long possible, beyond task failure) have gained interest in research and applied settings. However, little is known regarding the biomechanical profile of EQIs. Fourteen well-trained males performed four maximal effort knee-extensor EQIs, separated by 180 seconds. Angular impulse, velocity, time-under-tension through 30–100º range motion (ROM), eight ROM brackets were quantified. Statistical parametric...
