Sentences with phrase «eccentric knee flexion»

Exploring multiple sets of the Nordic hamstring curl exercise, Marshall et al. (2015) noted that a single set of 5 repetitions led to substantial reductions in peak eccentric knee flexion moments during the exercise, with even further reductions in subsequent sets, implying that performing the Nordic hamstring curl prior to practice or other exercise might not be advisable.

Not exact matches

In addition, it's superior to traditional leg exercises because of the greater emphasis on the eccentric component of knee flexion and its strong carryover to the deadlift and squat.

However, Funato et al. (2008) compared the isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee extension and flexion torques between elite senior and college Olympic weightlifters.

In agreement, Reid et al. (2011) compared eccentric plantar flexion with the knee fully extended and during a flexed position and reported superior gastrocnemius muscle activity during plantar flexion with full knee extension and no difference in soleus muscle activity.

It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.

Unlike sprinting, this eccentric strength is likely necessary for the hip extensors and knee extensors, as the COD maneuver usually involves combined hip flexion and knee flexion.

Hamstrings energy absorption can be enhanced by eccentric - only or accentuated eccentric training for knee flexion (flywheel leg curl or Nordic curl) or hip extension (single - leg back extension).
