This series of reviews focuses on the most important neuromuscular function in many sport
performances, the ability to generate maximal muscular power. Part 1 focuses on the factors …

Velocity specificity of resistance training has demonstrated that the greatest strength gains
occur at or near the training velocity. There is also evidence that the intent to make a high …

A scheme for understanding the organization of human postural movements is developed in
the format of a position paper. The structural characteristics of the body and the geometry of …

The equilibrium control hypothesis (λ model) is considered with special reference to the
following concepts:(a) the length-force invariant characteristic (IC) of the muscle together …

Cocontraction (the simultaneous activation of antagonist muscles around a joint) provides
the nervous system with a way to adapt the mechanical properties of the limb to changing …

Small objects were lifted from a table, held in the air, and replaced using the precision grip
between the index finger and thumb. The adaptation of motor commands to variations in the …

A real-time neural network model, called the vector-integration-to-endpoint (VITE) model is
developed and used to simulate quantitatively behavioral and neural data about planned …

A size-weight illusion was used to examine the role of visual cues in the programming of
manipulative forces during the lifting of test objects utilizing the preci sion grip. Three …

For stroke survivors and many other people with upper-extremity impairment, daily life can
be difficult without properly functioning arms. Some modern physical therapy exercises focus …

Intersegmental dynamics are controlled by sequential anticipatory, error correction, and
positional control mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanisms …
