Neuromuscular Adaptations to Training in Children with Cerebral Palsy
… on motor function in children with CP, the neuromuscular mechanisms that underpin motor function improvements remain poorly understood. The overarching goal of this PhD was therefore to enhance the understanding of the underlying neuromuscular adaptations to training in children with CP. …

Neuromuscular adaptations of either endurance or high-intensity interval training
… less time to produce similar physiological adaptations. Previous literature has focused on HIIT changes in aerobic metabolism and cardiorespiratory fitness, however, there are currently no studies focusing on its neuromuscular adaptations. Therefore, this thesis aimed to compare the …

Neuromuscular adaptations of joint angle-specific force change after isometric training
… fascicle length (Lf) and muscle activation adaptations. For this, the validity and reliability of a two-dimensional extended-field-of-view ultrasonography (EFOV) method for measuring muscle CSA (Study 1) and Lf (Study 2) were examined. Small standard errors of measurement (SEM) and high …

Effects of load and fatigue during unilateral resistance training on neuromuscular adaptations.
El entrenamiento de fuerza (EF) unilateral aumenta la fuerza voluntaria máxima tanto del músculo entrenado, como del músculo homologo contralateral no entrenado, un fenómeno conocido como efecto cruzado. El efecto cruzado surge de adaptaciones neurales en el hemisferio no entrenado como …

Cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular adaptations following whole-body eccentric resistance training in older adults
… modality to produce cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular benefits for older adults. The present study tested the hypothesis that ECC-RT of several major muscle groups would produce positive changes in cardio-metabolic and neuromuscular parameters in older adults with metabolic syndrome. Six …

EFFECTS OF PASSIVE STATIC STRETCHING ON MECHANICAL, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION
Passive static stretching (PSS) induces neuromuscular and vascular adaptations through both mechanical and neural mechanisms, influencing range of motion, muscle strength, and vascular health. While previous research has primarily focused on individual muscles or muscle chains, the regional …

PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS TO HEAT ACCLIMATION; REPERCUSSIONS ON CYCLING PERFORMANCE
… thesis were to 1) investigate the haematological adaptations to a novel long-term, progressive, work-matched heart rate clamp protocol, 2) to ascertain the neuromuscular adaptations to intermittent sprint training during heat acclimation and the effect on intermittent sprint performance and 3) to …

Variability of Practice and Strength Training Periodization: When Theories Collide
… examine whether variability of practice enhances neuromuscular adaptations when compared to traditional strength training. The secondary purpose was to investigate whether there was a difference in perception of exertion between the two strength programs. Forty one subjects (23 women and 18 men) …

The effects of Covid-19 on roadrunners in Cape Town
… activity to note a decline in cardiovascular and neuromuscular adaptations. Aim The aim of the study was to explore the effects of COVID-19 infection and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) on the athletic performance of long-distance roadrunners in the Cape Town Metropolitan area. Method A …

The efficacy of periodized resistance training in older adults
… highlights the robust adaptability of the aging neuromuscular system in response to resistance training (RT). Yet, despite an abundance of research studies describing the benefits of RT in the elderly, there is a large variation in the type of training programs employed. Therefore, within the …

A series of investigations into the effect of strength level on muscular power in athletic movements
… performance and the mechanisms driving these adaptations differ in relatively weak individuals exposed to either ballistic power training or heavy strength training. Experiment 2: To determine if the magnitude of performance improvements and the mechanisms driving adaptation to ballistic power …

The acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction on fall risk factors in older adults
… load to develop strength, hypertrophy, and neuromuscular adaptations. The importance of maintaining lower limb strength in older adults is evident within the literature as there is a strong link between lower limb strength and fall risk. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to explore the …

A randomised control trial for the restoration of functional ability in patients post total knee arthroplasty: Eccentric versus concentric cycling ergometry
… (r=0.07; p=0.036). The eccentric group recorded neuromuscular changes post-intervention with a significant decrease in the muscle activity of the biceps femoris during load acceptance phase of gait (p=0.021). The eccentric group had significantly better functional outcomes in the overall score of …

Development and application of an eccentric force-velocity profile in rugby union athletes
… in competitive athletes. Evidence suggests that neuromuscular adaptations resulting from eccentric-based training methods could benefit athletic populations competing in team sports. The purpose of Chapter 2 is to review existing literature on the effects of eccentric-based training on …

The effect of two different loading schemes and recovery types on kinematic and kinetic parameters in squat exercise
… resistanceloading schemes is crucial to maximise neuromuscular adaptations especially musclehypertrophy to resistance training. The main purposes of this research was to determinewhether loading the muscle with lighter load-higher velocity movements would providesimilar or superior kinematics and …
