The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics traditional squat with 2 popular exercise variations commonly referred as powerlifting and box squat. Twelve male powerlifters performed exercises 30, 50, 70% their measured 1 repetition maximum (1RM), instruction lift loads fast possible. Inverse dynamics spatial tracking external resistance were used quantify biomechanical variables. A range significant kinematic kinetic differences (p < 0.05) emerged between exercises. a narrow...
Abstract Background Strength and muscle mass are predictors of relevant clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, but hospitalized patients with COVID‐19, it remains to be determined. In this prospective observational study, we investigated whether strength or predictive hospital length stay (LOS) moderate severe COVID‐19 patients. Methods We evaluated prospectively 196 at admission for strength. Ten did not test positive SARS‐CoV‐2 during hospitalization were excluded from the analyses....
Background: Mental health difficulties are highly prevalent, yet access to support is limited by barriers of stigma, cost, and availability. These issues even more prevalent in low- middle-income countries, digital technology one potential way overcome these barriers. Digital mental interventions effective but often struggle with low engagement rates, particularly the absence human support. Chatbots could offer a scalable solution, simulating at lower cost. Objective: To complete preliminary...
This study investigated the effect of knee flexion range motion (ROM) during leg press exercise on quadriceps femoris muscle hypertrophy in resistance-trained individuals. Twenty-three participants (training age: 7.2 ± 3.5 years) completed a within-participant design, performing four sets unilateral presses to momentary failure twice weekly for eight weeks. In one leg, was fixed at approximately 5–100°, while other used their maximum individualized ROM (5–154 7.8°). Quadriceps thickness...
Abstract Objective Overweight and obesity are characterized by excess adiposity systemic, chronic, low‐grade inflammation, which is associated with several metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility tolerability β‐alanine supplementation explore effects on cardiometabolic health cardiovascular, hepatic, renal function in adults overweight obesity. Methods A total 27 (44% female; mean [SD], age: 58 [10] years, BMI: 31.1 [2.9] kg/m 2 , hemoglobin A1c: 39.8 [4.3]...
Muscle hypertrophy is often a desired goal of resistance training, and strategies that extend training beyond momentary failure may enhance muscular adaptations. Thus, the objective this study was to assess whether performing additional past-failure partial repetitions increased muscle hypertrophy. A total 23 untrained men completed 10-week within-participant intervention study. This comprised two weekly sessions four sets standing Smith machine calf raises. One limb randomly allocated...

The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity and kinetics during the back squat overhead performed at 3 relative intensities (60, 75, 90% repetition maximum). Fourteen subjects (age, 26 ± 7 years; height, 182.5 13.5 cm; body mass, 90.5 17.5 kg) each exercise using a within-subjects crossover design. In addition, selection trunk isolation exercises were included provide additional comparisons. Squats on force platform with electromyographic anterior deltoid, rectus abdominis (RA),...

J Strength Cond Res 23(2): 380-384, 2009-The primary objective of this study was to investigate current powerlifting methods light anecdotal evidence purporting increased similarity with the explosive weightlifters. The also assessed prevalence contemporary frequently recommended for powerlifters popular literature. A 20-item...
It was the aim of present study to expand on previous correlation analyses that have attempted identify factors influence performance jumping, sprinting, and changing direction. This achieved by using a regression approach obtain linear models combined anthropometric, strength, other biomechanical variables. Thirty rugby union players participated in (age: 24.2 ± 3.9 years; stature: 181.2 6.6 cm; mass: 94.2 11.1 kg). The athletes' ability sprint, jump, change direction assessed 30-m vertical...
Background Based on emerging evidence that brief periods of cessation from resistance training (RT) may re-sensitize muscle to anabolic stimuli, we aimed investigate the effects a 1-week deload interval at midpoint 9-week RT program muscular adaptations in resistance-trained individuals. Methods Thirty-nine young men ( n = 29) and women 10) were randomly assigned 1 2 experimental, parallel groups: An experimental group abstained for week 9-week, high-volume (DELOAD) or traditional performed...
One of the most popular exercises for developing lower-body muscular power is weighted vertical jump. The present study sought to examine effect altering position external load on kinematics and kinetics movement. Twenty-nine resistance-trained rugby union athletes performed maximal effort jumps with 0, 20, 40, 60% their squat 1 repetition maximum (1RM) positioned (a) posterior aspect shoulder using a straight barbell (b) at arms' length hexagonal barbell. Kinematic kinetic variables were...
