The Immediate Effects of Electromyographic Biofeedback on Corticomotor Excitability of the Quadriceps in Healthy Individuals
… maximal voluntary force to establish a baseline MVIC value for each testing session. Submaximal contractions at five percent of this maximal contraction were used to standardize voluntary contraction during corticomotor testing. A Magstim Rapid was used to administer transcranial magnetic …

Neuromuscular characteristics of eccentric contractions of the knee extensors and their muscle damage profiles
… Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) force, rate of force development (RFD), TF elicited by femoral nerve stimulation, VA, MEPs, corticospinal silent period (CSP) and SICI assessed by single- and paired-pulse TMS, and muscle soreness were measured before, immediately after, and …

The role of muscle strength and voluntary activation on symptomatic fatigue in multiple sclerosis
… during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC). Muscle fatigue was assessed during a sustained submaximal contraction. Distance during the 6-MWT, muscle strength and VA were significantly lower in the MS group. MFIS scores were negatively associated with muscle strength and VA. The MS …

Identifying Dosage Effect of LEDT on Muscular Fatigue in Quadriceps
… three maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC), followed by LEDT on six points across the superficial quadriceps. Each randomized trial consisted of a placebo, 30 seconds, 60 seconds or 120 seconds on each point on the quadriceps. Three minutes after LEDT, the participants performed an …

Comparison in muscle activity between the back squat, Romanian deadlift and barbell hip thrust during hip extension
… muscle during a maximum voluntary contraction (MVIC), performed on an isokinetic dynamometer. The results showed that hip thrust displayed higher GM activity than the back squat (mean Δ ± 95% confidence interval; 62.7 ± 58.0 mV, effect size = 1.39. P = 0.038), but no significant differences were …

Impedance Changes in Biceps Brachii Due to Isometric Contractions and Muscle Fatigue Using Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM)
… at maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) correlated to the greatest difference of 12.80% whereas a percent difference of 4.63 was calculated for 25% of the MVIC. Reactance decreased from an average of 11.165 Ω at rest to 9.6025 Ω at 100% maximum isometric contraction. In a similar …

The Effects of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage With or Without Omega-3 Supplementation on Inflammation, Muscle Function and Recovery in Healthy Physically Active Younger and Older Adults
… maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), peak power, countermovement jump, range of motion (ROM), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and thigh circumference. Key results from Study 1 included DOMS being significantly lower in omega-3 vs placebo group (p = 0.034), and peak power …

Cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular adaptations following whole-body eccentric resistance training in older adults
… (SOT), body composition and isometric (MVIC) and isokinetic concentric (MVCC) maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) strength of the knee and elbow extensors and flexors were measured at baseline and post-training. 1RM strength increased significantly (p<0.05) for all exercises with 34–115% …

The comparison of physiological adaptations following a 4-week cycle and shuttle run-based SIT interventions
… maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of hamstring and quadriceps muscle groups, Wingate 30-second anaerobic test and Time to Exhaustion (TTE) with breath-by-breath gas analyser to determine maximal oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2max</sub>). The training comprised two sessions per …

Spectral mapping and long-term seasonal evolution of Pluto
… colors using data from New Horizons' Ralph/MVIC instrument. From this study we find that Pluto's equatorial region shows a broader diversity of terrains and more stark longitudinal contrasts than the more homogeneous north polar region. Pluto's south polar region is currently in constant …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… of 5% maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Maximal Hoffmann reflexes (H-reflex) normalized to maximal muscle responses (H:M) were used to assess quadriceps spinal-reflexive excitability. Electrical stimulus was applied to the femoral nerve and was increased in 0.2volt increments until …

The acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction on fall risk factors in older adults
… maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). The functional tests comprising of the timed up and go, sit-to-stand for time and power, also led to some improvement post-training. Additionally, the error rate for joint position sense and the ability to match strength (force sense) also …

Efectos del entrenamiento de fuerza en maquinaria biosaludable sobre la salud en personas adultas y mayores
… en la contracción voluntaria isométrica máxima (MVIC) en ambas piernas (p < .001) y brazos (p < .001), así como en la prueba TUG (p < .001) y la prueba de caminar 4 metros (p = .006). En contraste, el CG mostró disminuciones en MVIC de la pierna izquierda (p = .019) y brazos (p < .001) y en el …

A Stress-Diathesis Model of Depression: Examining Self-Compassion and Savoring
<p>Depression is a prevalent public health problem, with approximately 6.4% of Americans suffering from the condition each year. Emerging adults are especially vulnerable to depression, as approximately 25% of individuals from age 18-25 have reported experiencing at least one depressive episode. …
