Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a popular research tool in sport and rehabilitation
sciences. Common study designs include the comparison of sEMG amplitudes collected …

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 …

Ultra‐endurance sports are growing in popularity but can be associated with adverse health
effects, such as exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD), which can lead to exertional …

This study examined localization of muscle damage within the quadriceps femoris induced
by different types of eccentric exercises by using transverse relaxation time (T2)‐weighted …

Purpose Acute high-intensity unaccustomed eccentric exercise performed by naive subjects
is accompanied by disturbances in muscle damage biomarkers. The aim of the study was to …

This study investigated effects of downhill (DR) versus level (LR) running training on various
muscular and aerobic performances. Eighteen healthy young males conducted either DR …

Purpose Mountain trekking involves level, uphill, and downhill walking (DW). Prolonged DW
induces damage to leg muscles, reducing force generating ability and muscle coordination …

The neuromuscular system can quickly adapt to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD),
such that it is less affected by subsequent damaging exercise, a phenomenon known as the …

Eccentric contraction‐induced quadriceps strains, particularly in the rectus femoris (RF),
frequently occur in sports. By using MRI‐based transverse relaxation time (T2) as an index …

The aim of this study was to compare vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles
for their nervous and mechanical adaptations during two bouts of downhill walking (DW) …
