Sentences with phrase «contractile velocity»

Velocity - specificity probably happens for many reasons, including greater increases in single fiber contractile velocity (including fiber type shifts), greater increases in early phase neural drive, more suppressed co-activation, and bigger improvements in co-ordination, compared to low - velocity (heavy load) training.

Strength training is velocity - specific, and this seems to arise from both central and peripheral mechanisms, which affect rate of force development (RFD) and maximum contractile velocity.

The greater gains in strength - to - size that result from an increase in specific tension are not reflected in improvements in muscle power, because the reduction in contractile velocity counteracts the effects of the increased muscle fiber force (Erskine et al. 2011).

This indicates that there are other features of muscle fibers that determine contractile velocity.

Not exact matches

This suggests that one way in which velocity - focused training produces velocity - specificity is by altering contractile components of the individual muscle fibers.

This reduces the effective contractile length of muscle fibers, reducing the shortening velocity, and increasing force production (Erskine et al. 2011).
