An Optimal Interset Rest Period For Strength Recovery During A Common Isokinetic Test
<p>Introduction: Isokinetic testing is used in rehabilitation settings on a regular basis, yet there is a lack of consistency in rest period usage among protocols. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish an optimal rest period that would allow reproducibility of strength during a common …

The effect of protective knee braces on agility and muscle performance
… protective knee braces on agility and selected isokinetic strength, power, and endurance measures. Each subject performed the Semo agility test in each of three experimental conditions: braced with the Anderson knee stabler (B,An); braced with the Arco knee guard (Bâ Ar); and unbraced (Un). The …

Effects of Eccentric Nordic Hamstring Exercise on Fascicle Length in Females
… strain injury. Compared to changes in hamstring strength, FL has been shown to reduce the risk of injury to a greater extent. While previous studies have investigated the eccentric NHE on FL, many lack control groups, female participants, and have not measured performance outcomes. Our aim was to …

The Effect of Steroid Dose Regimen on the Relationship Between Lower Extremity Muscle Function and Cardiac Function in Post Heart Transplant Patients
… recipients. Prednisone dosage was monitored, and isokinetic strength testing was performed at 4 different time periods throughout the first year post-transplantation. Cardiovascular/aerobic measurements were obtained at the fourth time period. Pre-surgery characteristics were obtained from the …

Effects of throwing on rotator cuff strength and proprioception
This study was performed to examine declines in strength and proprioception after a single bout of overhand baseball throwing. Twenty-three university students volunteered for this study and were placed into three groups. Subjects completed a pretest consisting of joint position sense testing …

Acute and chronic skeletal muscle response to very low load resistance exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction in the upper body
… The chronic study investigated changes in MTH, strength, and endurance following 8-weeks. Acute results: Following exercise, the 7000 condition had lower (p<0.05) MTH [4.2(1.0) cm] compared to the 1500 [4.4 (1.1)cm], 1540 [4.4(1.1)cm], and 1580 [4.5(1.0cm] conditions. This continued 15 minutes …
