Purpose: To analyze the differences in the force–velocity (F–v) profile assessed under
unconstrained (ie, using free weights) and constrained (ie, on a Smith machine) vertical …

Purpose This study aimed to explore the feasibility of vertical force–velocity (F–V) profiles to
monitor changes in muscle function following different fatigue protocols. The between-day …

The purpose was to evaluate selected physical tests in children and to compare the
outcomes by sex. A cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate children 6–11 years …

Purpose: To compare the strength and athletic adaptations induced by 4 programming
models. Methods: Fifty-two men were allocated into 1 of the following models: linear …

Simple Summary Different movement speeds can contribute to different joint loading in
sports. Joint contact force is the actual force acting on the articular surface, which could …

Recently, the two-point method of force–velocity (F–V) profiling of multi-joint human
movements has been introduced and validated. In this study, we investigated the validity of …

This study explored the relationships between passive muscle stiffness (shear modulus) and
vertical jumping performance, countermovement utilization ratio (CUR) and rate of force …

Race time can be shortened by improving turn performance in competitive swimming, but
this requires insight into the optimal turn technique. The aim of the present study was to …

This work aimed to analyze the relationships between maturity offset, anthropometric
variables and the vertical force–velocity profile in youth (12–18 years old) male basketball …

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) consists of a
transitory increase of voluntary movement performance following a conditioning activity. This …
