We examined the effects of a 12-week program Nordic hamstring exercises (NHE), administered before or after football training, upon eccentric strength, muscle activity, and architectural adaptations. Amateur soccer players were randomized into three groups. The control group (CON; n=11) undertook core stability exercises, whereas periodized NHE was delivered either (NHEBEF ; n=10) (NHEAFT n=14) biweekly training sessions. Outcome measures included peak torque concomitant normalized surface...
The optimal scheduling of Nordic Hamstring exercises (NHEs) relative to football training sessions is unknown. We examined the acute neuromuscular and performance responses NHE undertaken either before (BT) or after (AT) simulated training. Twelve amateur players performed six sets five repetitions 60 min standardised football-specific exercise (SAFT60). Surface electromyography signals (EMG) hamstring muscles were recorded during both NHE, maximum eccentric actions knee flexors (0.52 rad ·...
ABSTRACT At a constant power output, cyclists prefer to use higher cadence than those that minimize metabolic cost. The neuromuscular mechanism underpinning the preferred remains unclear. Purpose aim of this study was investigate effect on joint level work and vastus lateralis (VL) fascicle mechanics while cycling at constant, submaximal, output. We hypothesized would enhance capacity VL muscle when compared with more economical cadence. Furthermore, we predicted most coincide minimal total...
Humans naturally select a cadence that minimizes metabolic cost at constant walking velocity. The aim of this study was to examine the effects on medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle and tendon interaction, how might influence lower limb energetics. We hypothesized cadences higher than preferred would increase MG fascicle shortening velocity because reduced stride time. Furthermore, we require greater achieve increased work requirements. measured kinematics kinetics, surface electromyography...
The maximum force-generating capacity of a muscle is dependent on the lengths and velocities its contractile apparatus. Muscle-tendon unit (MTU) length changes can be estimated from joint kinematics; however, element are more difficult to predict during dynamic contractions. aim this study was compare vastus lateralis (VL) MTU fascicle level force-length force-velocity relationships, function while cycling at constant submaximal power output (2.5 W/kg) with different cadences. We...
