Muscle strength, the maximal force-generating capacity of a muscle or group of muscles, is
regularly assessed in physiological experiments and clinical trials. An understanding of the …

Objective To investigate muscle strength and muscle endurance in women during 3 well-
determined phases of the menstrual cycle: early follicular phase, ovulation phase, and …

Aim Variations in sex hormone levels during the menstrual cycle may affect neuromuscular
performance and the risk of sustaining musculoskeletal injury in women. The aim of this …

The present study aimed to investigate the changes in the mechanical properties of human
muscle and tendon during the menstrual cycle in vivo. The subjects were young healthy …

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to compare muscle strength in the upper and
lower limb, as well as hop performance during oral contraceptive (OC) use with non-OC use …

BACKGROUND: There are alterations in strength in relation to menstrual cycle phase but
little data attributing these responses to female sex hormone levels using a pseudo …

Creatine monohydrate (CrH 2 O) supplementation has been demonstrated to increase
skeletal muscle power output in men. However, its effect upon women is not as clearly …

An increased incidence of sports related injuries in the premenstrual phase as well as in the
menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle has been described. This may be explained by …

Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) frequently complain of exercise intolerance and
muscle fatigue [37]. Alterations in skeletal muscle may contribute extensively to this …

The aim of this study is to define the test-retest reproducibility for measuring the peak torque
of the knee flexors according to the isokinetic concentric and eccentric muscle action. The …
