Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation of the Wrist Flexors
The present study examined a wrist extension-to-flexion contraction pattern that was theorized to result in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. However, the “reversal of antagonists” contraction pattern may have, alternatively, interfered with motor learning-related increases in strength. …

Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint moments, this could contribute to their higher incidence of overuse injury. …

On the Physical Demands of Gaming: Quantifying Pain, Muscle Activity, Kinematics, and Performance Changes
… mouse clicking protocol led to fatigue of the wrist flexors while the mouse aiming protocol produced muscle fatigue in the wrist extensors. Finally, in Chapter 6, we found that static loading of the shoulder and forearm musculature exceeded guidelines while playing a competitive PC first-person …

The musculoskeletal profile of female adolescent elite water polo players and the factors affecting throwing performance.
… glenohumeral rotators, pectoralis minor muscle, wrist flexors, elbow extensors and grip strength have also been associated with throwing speed. Further, medicine ball throws also predicted throwing speed in cricket, handball and tennis. Lower limb strength in the form of hip abduction and …
