Sentences with phrase «early phase agonist»

The main neural adaptation underpinning the velocity - specificity effect is probably an increase in early phase agonist activation.

Not exact matches

In addition to increased early phase neural drive of the agonist muscles, velocity - specific strength is likely achieved through a decrease in antagonist muscle activation (Pousson et al. 1999) and an increase in coordination (Almåsbakk & Hoff, 1996).

Indeed, this is underscore by the fact that some carefully controlled studies have reported that substantial early phase strength gains occur in as little as 5 days without changes in agonist muscle activation as measured by EMG amplitudes (Holtermann et al. 2005).

In addition to increased early phase neural drive of the agonist muscles, it is possible that a greater suppression of antagonist muscle activation could contribute to increased velocity - specific strength (Pousson et al. 1999).
