Echo intensity may associate with indicators of skeletal muscle quality, but investigators
often use different methodological approaches that may alter echo intensity when acquiring …

Firefighters routinely perform tasks that are reliant on their muscular fitness, which includes
muscular strength, power and endurance. Separately, firefighters can present with unique …

Purpose Although firefighters are required to perform various high-intensity critically
essential tasks, the influence of neuromuscular function on firefighter occupational …

The purpose of our study was to investigate peak torque (PT) of knee extensors (KE) and
knee flexors (KF), bilateral and unilateral strength asymmetries in isokinetic testing and …

Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) tends to affect muscle performance,
mainly in the lower extremities. The degree of disability is associated with the loss of …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between echo intensity (EI) and
muscular strength (maximal voluntary isometric contraction [MVIC]) and endurance (time-to …

Firefighters perform strenuous work in dangerous and unpredictable environments requiring
optimal physical conditioning. The aim of this study was to investigate the association …

Objective This study investigated reliability and validity of muscle cross-sectional area and
echo intensity using an automatic image analysis program. Methods: Twenty-two …

Background Progression of plantar flexor weakness in neuromuscular diseases is usually
monitored by muscle strength measurements, although they poorly relate to muscle function …

Echo intensity has been associated with measures of muscle strength; however,
associations between echo intensity and voluntary performance assume descending drive …
