The aim of this study was to examine changes in indirect markers of muscle damage during
3 weeks of stretch–shortening exercise with a progressively increasing load and continued …

Residual force enhancement has been observed consistently in skeletal muscles following
active stretching. However, its underlying mechanism (s) remain elusive, and it cannot be …

Purpose Rapid force development is a key factor influencing performance and injury risk in
movements where little time is available for force production; thus there is a need to develop …

enhancement of mechanical power output in human multijoint exercise with …

The aim of the study was to establish the dynamics of maximal voluntary contraction force
(MVCF), height of drop jump (DJ) and electrically evoked quadriceps muscle force at …

It has been stated repeatedly for the past 50 years that the steady-state force depression
following shortening of an activated muscle depends on the speed of shortening. However …

Abstract RAPID FORCE DEVELOPMENT IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE FOR MOST
SPORTS. AN OFTEN OVERLOOKED PERFORMANCE LIMITING FACTOR IS MUSCLE …

During a set of resistance exercise performed until exhaustion, the relationship between
intensity and the number of repetitions can be affected by lifting speed, with faster speeds …

Background The isometric steady-state following active lengthening is associated with
greater torque production and lower activation, as measured by electromyographic activity …

Summary Eight men (20–23 years) weight trained 3 days week− 1 for 19 weeks. Training
sessions consisted of six sets of a leg press exercise (simultaneous hip and knee extension …
