Strength gains occur mainly
around the joint angle of the exercise performed.
Similarly, training using a partial range of motion (which is similar to using isometrics at short muscle lengths) increases strength
around the joint angle corresponding to the peak contraction.
Strength gains after partial range of motion training tend to be greatest
around the joint angle at the point of peak contraction (Graves et al. 1989; 1992; Barak et al. 2004; McMahon et al. 2014), which in the squat corresponds to the longest muscle length of the prime movers (Rhea et al. 2016).
Not exact matches
They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement
around a
joint in a limb (such as the knee or elbow) that decreases the
angle between the bones of the limb at the
joint.
This continuous change of
angles and stresses
around the
joint will help make your shoulders more adaptable to strains and forces encountered in all your training and daily activities.
• Extension → When bones
around a
joint are moved further apart, decreasing the
joint angle.

Test of transfer (long - term): Strength training that targets the hip extensors close to full extension (such as with the hip thrust), and the knee extensors at
around 40 degrees from full extension (such as with the quarter squat), may well transfer better to sprinting than strength training that targets the hip and knee extensors at other
joint angles.
McGuigan and Wilson (1996) found that peak hip
joint angle was more acute in the conventional deadlift style, by
around 10 degrees.
Sex hormones are what signal growth plates to close, so If your puppy was neutered before
around 18 months old, he will have some delay in growth plate closure, and he will also have uneven growth in his bones resulting in
joint angles that could be more liable to injury.
