Isometric training is used in the rehabilitation and physical preparation of athletes, special
populations, and the general public. However, little consensus exists regarding training …

The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass plays a critical role in health and quality of life.
One of the most potent regulators of skeletal muscle mass is mechanical loading, and …

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of four resistance training (RT) programs
with different velocity loss (VL) thresholds: 0%(VL0), 10%(VL10), 20%(VL20) and …

This review used a narrative summary of findings from studies that focused on isometric
strength training (IST), covering the training considerations that affect strength adaptations …

Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used in both research and clinical settings to
evaluate the morphological and mechanical properties of muscle and tendon. In elite sports …

The biarticular hamstrings are lengthened more in a seated (hip-flexed) than prone (hip-
extended) position. Purpose We investigated the effects of seated versus prone leg curl …

Injuries have a detrimental impact on team and individual athletic performance. Deficits in
maximal strength, rate of force development (RFD), and reactive strength are commonly …

The greater muscular strength of long-term resistance-trained (LTT) individuals is often
attributed to hypertrophy, but the role of other factors, notably maximum voluntary specific …

Surface electromyography amplitudes are commonly measured in acute sports and exercise
science studies to make inferences about muscular strength, performance, and hypertrophic …

The study compared changes in strength and regional muscle hypertrophy between different
ranges of motion (ROM) in the knee extension exercise. Forty-five untrained women were …
