The purpose of this study was to examine gender differences in knee extensor and flexor
peak torque, work, power, and muscle fatigue during maximal effort isokinetic contractions …

The aim of this study was to compare male vs. female athletes in strength and power
performance relative to body mass (BM) and lean body mass (LBM) and to investigate the …

Loss of muscle mass of the lower limbs and of the spine extensors markedly impairs
locomotor ability and spine stability in old age. In this study, we investigated whether 8 w of …

Skeletal muscle fibers hypertrophy in response to strength training, with type II fibers
generally demonstrating the greatest plasticity in regards to cross-sectional area (CSA) …

Purpose This study aimed to ascertain whether training-induced muscle hypertrophy is
accompanied by an increase in the aponeurosis width, and to infer its impact on the training …

It is not understood how the knee joint angle affects the relationship between
electromyography (EMG) and force of four individual quadriceps femoris (QF) muscles. The …

Objectives: To compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and
isokinetic training on fibre type distribution and cross sectional area of the vastus lateralis …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether there was a gender difference in the intensity of
electromyographic (EMG) activity in vastus medialis oblique (VMO) relative to vastus …

Fatigue has been defined as an exercise-induced decline in force generation capacity
because of changes at both the peripheral and central levels. Movement is preceded and …

Females are less fatigable than males during isometric contractions across various muscles
and intensities. However, sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability remain relatively …
