Electromechanical delay (EMD) of knee extensors in isometric contraction was investigated
in six healthy men before and after four periods of 30-s all-out sprint cycling exercise …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated maximal isometric
contraction on electromechanical delay (EMD) of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Eleven …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnitude of electromechanical delay
(EMD) and its possible dependence on muscle type, type of contraction, fatigue, level of …

When measured in vivo electromechanical delay (EMD) depends mainly on the elastic
properties of the muscle–tendon unit. Recent studies have shown changes in stiffness of the …

This study was conducted to assess the effects in trained cyclists of exhausting endurance
cycle exercise (CE) on maximal isometric force production, surface electromyogram (EMG) …

In contraction of skeletal muscle a delay exists between the onset of electrical activity and
measurable tension. This delay in electromechanical coupling has been stated to be …
