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 …

Extraction of Electrocardiography Artefacts From Surface Electromyography Signals Using Continuous Wavelet Transform
… the degree of Maximum Voluntary Contractions (MVIC) of the muscle. This research involved the investigation of the ECG artefacts within sEMG signals that were obtained from the lower and upper lumbar erector spinae (ES) muscles of the back. This research involved the extraction of the ECG …

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 …

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. …
