Disagreement exists as to whether the individual components of the quadriceps femoris can
be preferentially activated, ie., that one muscle component is activated to a greater degree of …

Objective: the purpose of this study was to compare vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) and
vastus lateralis (VL) activity while performing a mini-squat with and without isometric hip …

Context: Clinicians commonly attempt to facilitate vastus medialis oblique (VMO) activity by
instructing patients to squeeze a ball between their knees during squatting exercises …

In the treatment of muscle imbalances around the knee, hip adduction and the contraction of
adductor magnus have been used to facilitate vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) to a greater …

Objective: To determine 1) the electromyographic (EMG) reliability within and between
testing sessions; 2) the effect of sex on the EMG activity of the vastus medialis oblique …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the activation of the vastus medialis
oblique muscle (VMO) and vastus lateralis muscle (VL) during squat exercise with various …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of submaximal and vigorous isometric hip adduction
on the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) activity during the leg press …

The purpose of this study was to analyse the activity of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO)
muscle electromyographically during free isotonic and maximal isometric contraction of the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to investigate which form of
straight leg raise exercise might be most effective for strengthening vastus medialis oblique …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isometric hip adduction and
abduction on the muscle activities of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) …
