Purpose: To assess early changes in muscle function and hypertrophy, measured as increases cross-sectional areas (CSAs) total volume, over a 4 weeks inertial resistance training (RT) program. Methods: Ten young RT-naive volunteers (age 23.4 ± 4.1 years) underwent 10 sessions (2-3 per week) consisting of five sets flywheel squats (moment inertia 900 kg⋅cm2). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans both thighs were performed before (PRE), after 2 (IN) (POST) to compute individual volumes...
Hamstring muscles are most affected by multiple sprint-based sports as a result of muscle strain during sprinting, leading to reduced performance and increased risk injury. Therefore, the purpose study was assess inter-individual variability in hamstrings recovery after sport-specific repeated-sprint training (RST), through sprint-specific markers associated damage biomarkers women men.
The purpose of the study was to analyze hamstrings muscle damage and recovery after a novel Flywheel Russian belt Deadlift (FRBD) exercise using neuromuscular tests associated biochemical markers structural damage. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) torque rate force development (RFD) over several time-intervals by 90ºhip:20ºknee test (standing for hamstrings) range motion (ROM) Jurdan (combination active knee extension modified Thomas test), together with serum biomarkers...
The purpose of this study was to determine and compare thigh muscle volumes (MVs), sprint mechanical properties performance between male female national-level sprinters. We also studied possible relationships MVs performance. Nine eight sprinters participated in the study. T1-weighted magnetic resonance images thighs were obtained quadriceps, hamstrings adductors. Sprint measured as time cover 40 80 m. Instantaneous velocity by radar obtain theoretical maximum force (F0), (V0) power (Pmax)....

J Strength Cond Res 35(4): 902-909, 2021-This study aimed to compare mechanical properties performance during sprinting, well thigh volumes (MVs), between national-level sprinters physically active males. In addition, the relationships MVs were investigated. Seven male 9 actives performed maximal-effort 40-m sprints....
Muscle damage induced by inertial exercise performed on a flywheel device was assessed through the serum evolution of muscle enzymes, interleukin 6, and fiber type‐specific sarcomere proteins such as fast myosin ( FM ) slow SM ). We hypothesized that model could be constructed measuring concentration following exercise, according to their molecular weight compartment in which they are located. Moreover, , type fibers affected assessed. Serum profiles were registered before 24, 48, 144 h...
Abstract This study aimed to analyse changes in sprint performance, muscle volumes (MVs) and mechanical parameters (SMPs) national‐level sprinters performing a 5‐month indoor sprint‐based training macrocycle (SBTM). Twelve well‐trained were tested on three different occasions throughout the SBTM. Testing procedures included: performance over 10m, 40m, 80m, 150m, 300m; MRI of thighs, compute MVs quadriceps, hamstrings adductors; 40m using radar gun assess SMPs such as theoretical maximal...
