Efficacy of Partial ROM Squat in Maximal Strength Training
<p>Eighteen well trained males (1RM Squat: 150.57 ± 26.79 kg) were assigned to two groups: full ROM training (control) and full ROM with partial ROM training (CP) for the seven-week training intervention. There was a significant time effect (p</p>

Bilateral deficit: A comparison between upper-body and lower-body maximal strength
… The study’s primary purpose was to determine if maximal unilateral strength is greater than maximal bilateral strength for the leg press and vertical dumbbell press exercises. The secondary purpose was to determine if blood glucose levels differ between the unilateral and bilateral conditions for …

The Relationship Between Relative Strength Levels to Sprinting Performance in Collegiate 100-400M Sprinters
… to determine the relationship between relative maximal (1RM) strength (i.e. back squat and power clean) to sprinting performance in 60-400m collegiate sprinters. A secondary purpose was to determine the distribution of athletes within the theoretical relationship between relative squat strength …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve muscle weakness in hip osteoarthritis: A feasibility study
… activation required to induce a muscle strength adaption before and after surgery and therefore innovations are required. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses that can restore and increase skeletal muscle mass when …

Physiological and Performance Effects of 11 Weeks of Training in Division 1 Collegiate Throwers: An Exploratory Study.
… recorded throughout the study. Measurements of maximal strength (isometric mid-thigh pull), vertical jumping ability, dynamic mid-thigh pulls (across a spectrum of loads), hormones (testosterone and cortisol), and adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and resistin) were taken at weeks 1, 7, and 11. …

The effect of reproductive hormones on muscle function in young and middle-aged females.
… the first five years post-menopause. Muscle strength at this time would have important clinical implications for correcting imbalance and preventing falls. The aim of the studies within this thesis were to 1) determine the rate and time course of force loss of the quadriceps muscle group over …

Determining muscle-tendon characteristics and function of stretch-shortening cycle performance in dancers
… de chat leaping. Furthermore, ankle-specific strength and conditioning tactics to simultaneously improve maximal strength capacity, MTU properties, and saut de chat leaping performance have yet to be investigated in dancers. Therefore, this thesis was founded in the following purposes: 1) to …

Upper Body Characteristics Related To Double Pole Performance in Female Cross Country Skiers
… correlate upper body (UB) lean mass (UBLM), UB maximal strength (UBMS), and average power production during a 3-min ski ergometer (SERG) test to predict the dependent variable, a one-kilometer uphill double pole time trial (DPTT) on snow. We hypothesized UBLM would be most important to …

Decreased Peak Muscle Power is Associated with Motor Unit Loss in the Lower Limb of Older Adults
… between motor unit (MU) properties and the strength and power of two lower limb muscles in healthy young and old adults. Twelve older adults (mean age, 77 ± 5 yrs) and twelve young adults (mean age, 24 ± 3 yrs) were studied. MU properties of the tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus medialis …

MEASURES OF MUSCLE STRENGTH, RATE OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND FATIGUABILITY ACROSS THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
… effects of estrogen and progesterone on muscle strength, rate of force development, and fatiguability. <strong>METHODS: </strong>Nineteen recreationally active and eumenorrheic females (25.3 ± 5.8 yrs, 73.4 ± 12.2 kgs) volunteered to participate in the study. Maximal force, rate of force …

Dry land strength and power training to enhance swimming in-water turn performance
Undertaking dry-land strength and power training to increase leg extensor power output is believed to increase a swimmer’s ability to start and turn during a swim race. Swimmers generally undertake dry-land strength and power training as part of their overall training regime to increase lower body …
