Stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) in human skeletal muscle gives unique possibilities to study
normal and fatigued muscle function. The in vivo force measurement systems, buckle …

Exercise-induced muscle damage is a well documented phenomenon particularly resulting
from eccentric exercise. When eccentric exercise is unaccustomed or is performed with an …

Neuromuscular fatigue has traditionally been examined using isolated forms of either
isometric, concentric or eccentric actions. However, none of these actions are naturally …

Fig. 10.1 In human walking, hopping and running considerable impact loads occur when
contact takes place with the ground. This requires preactivation from the lower limb extensor …

Abstract EFFICIENT STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE (SSC) MECHANICS RESULT IN
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND ENHANCED PROPULSIVE FORCES. BASED ON THE …

The aim of this study was to test the sensitivity of; performance in the countermovement
vertical Jump (CMJ); the Recovery and Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport); the …

The purposes of this study are: a) to examine the possibility of influencing the leg stiffness
through instructions given to the subjects and b) to determine the effect of the leg stiffness on …

In this study, we assessed the effect of exercise-induced muscle damage on knee extensor
muscle strength during isometric, concentric and eccentric actions at 1.57 rad· s-1 and …

Objective: To determine the effect of landing type (unilateral vs. bilateral) and gender on the
biomechanics of drop landings in recreational athletes. Design: This study used a repeated …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is a common occurrence following activities with a
high eccentric component. Alterations to the torque–velocity relationship following EIMD …
