It is widely assumed that there is an eccentric hamstring muscle fibre action during the swing
phase of high-speed running. However, animal and modelling studies in humans show that …

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

An eccentrically lengthening, energy-absorbing, brake-driven model of hamstring function
during the late-swing phase of sprinting has been widely touted within the existing literature …

This study used a combined electromyographic, mechanomyographic, and force approach
to identify electromechanical delay (EMD) from the onsets of the electromyographic to force …

Objective: To examine muscle-specific differences and the effects of fatigue and recovery on
electromechanical delay (EMD) during maximal isokinetic muscle actions. Approach …

Stretching exercises are known for reduction of musculoskeletal stiffness and elongation of
electromechanical delay (EMD). However, computing a change in stiffness by means of time …

Abstract Background Electromyographic (EMG), mechanomyographic (MMG) and force (F)
signals combined analysis represents an interesting approach to partition the …

The aim of this study was to compare three specific concentric and eccentric muscle action
training protocols on quadriceps-hamstrings neuromuscular adaptations. Forty male …

Purpose Knee flexor electromechanical delay (EMD) has been proposed as a contributing
factor to non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk and the semitendinosus (ST) …

The purposes of this study were to examine: 1) the potential muscle-specific differences in
voluntary electromechanical delay (EMD) and relaxation electromechanical delay (R-EMD) …
