The aim of the current review is to discuss applications and mechanism of eccentric exercise
in training regimes of competitive sports. Eccentric muscle work is important in most sports …

Insight into the magnitude of muscle forces is important in biomechanics research, for
example because muscle forces are the main determinants of joint loading. Unfortunately …

Objective. To determine the effect of quadriceps strength and joint stability on gait patterns
after anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction. Design. Cross-sectional …

Data by the present editors in 1996, there was no laboratory manual that would serve as a
compendium of practical activities for students in this field. Accordingly, the text was …

Background The inability of users to directly and intuitively control their state-of-the-art
commercial prosthesis contributes to a low device acceptance rate. Since Electromyography …

In the present study 10 healthy subjects were measured, performing sit-to-stand transfers in
a natural way. Starting position and speed of movement were standardized. Sagittal …

Purpose: Electromechanical delay (EMD) and rate of force development (RFD) are
determinants of explosive neuromuscular performance. We may expect a contrast in EMD …

This target article addresses the role of storage and reutilization of elastic energy in stretch-
shortening cycles. It is argued that for discrete movements such as the vertical jump, elastic …

This study was designed to investigate the patterns of intermuscular coordination during a
sprinting event. In previous research it was found that despite the indeterminacy problem of …

We investigated the capacity for torque development and muscle activation at the onset of
fast voluntary isometric knee extensions at 30, 60, and 90° knee angle. Experiments were …
