The Effect of Ischemic Preconditioning on Rock Climbing Performance
<p>Rock climbing involves isometric contractions of the finger flexors, limiting forearm blood flow and causing ischemia-induced fatigue. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been shown to improve time to failure (TTF) during climbing-specific tasks, though its mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose …

The comparison of physiological adaptations following a 4-week cycle and shuttle run-based SIT interventions
… that consisted of body composition assessment, 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>). …

Neuromuscular fatigue following a singles badminton match
… stimulations were used in the present study. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) torque of the knee extensors and flexors, voluntary activation during the knee extension MVC (VA), torque generated by a doublet (DT), and 20 Hz (T20) and 80 Hz stimulation (T80) and the ratio (T20/T80) …

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
… In all studies, functional measures included 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 …

Pain assessment and possible mechanism of delayed onset muscle soreness
… healthy young men performed 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions with their non-dominant arm. Before and 1 - 4 days after the exercise, muscle pain perceived upon palpation of the biceps brachii at three sites (5, 9, and 13 cm above the elbow crease) was assessed by VAS …

Neuromuscular Consequences Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… excitability, spinal-reflexive excitability, and voluntary activation in the quadriceps of their injured limb compared to their uninjured limb as well as matched limbs of healthy matched controls. It was also of interest to examine the relationship between inter-limb differences in corticomotor …

The acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction on fall risk factors in older adults
… post training with an increase in knee extension 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 …

Comparison of acute physiological effects between alternating current and pulsed current electrical muscle stimulation
… further muscle damage induced by EMS-evoked isometric contractions. Three experimental studies were conducted in the thesis project together with literature review about EMS.

Neuromuscular characteristics of eccentric contractions of the knee extensors and their muscle damage profiles
… muscle activation during eccentric (ECC) than isometric (ISO) and concentric (CON) contractions (actions). Unaccustomed ECC exercise induces muscle damage represented by prolonged impairment of muscle function and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), but also confers protection from muscle …
