Sentences with phrase «greater knee extension»

Not exact matches

Kettlebell swings are great for developing power in hip and knee extension just like in a jump.

These selections are great for athletes to improve their triple extension (hip, knee, and ankle) which usually translates directly to their sport, but that may not be a goal for non-athletes.

After the 14 weeks, the creatine group were found to have experienced greater increases in fat free mass and total body mass, in addition to improvements in isometric knee extension strength.

Comparing different squat variations, Swinton et al. (2012) reported that peak knee extension moment arm lengths were greatest in the order box > traditional > powerlifting squat variations.

Comparing the back squat with knee extensions, Signorile et al. (1994) found that muscle activity was greater during back squats than during knee extensions but Andersen et al. (2006) found the opposite results and Escamilla et al. (1998) found that muscle activity differences depended upon knee angle.

However, increases in muscle fascicle length are also likely dependent on the mechanical load incurred by the prime mover, as knee flexion (hamstring only) exercise seems to lead to greater adaptations in the hamstrings than hip extension (hamstring, gluteus maximus, and adductor magnus) exercise, even when muscle length at peak contraction is shorter (Bourne et al. 2016).

It is also a great extension muscle which is used by our knees.

The split squat displays greater hip extension moments, and smaller knee extension moments than the standard back squat.

It may be the case that the movement pattern can be performed in either a hip - dominant or a knee - dominant way and that greater inclination of the trunk leads to greater hip extension moments (Yoshioka et al. 2007).

They noted that squat jumps produced greater hip extension moment than back squats with a moderate load (272 vs. 149Nm) and that the ratio between hip extension moments in these two exercises was smaller than the ratio between knee extension moments (1.8 vs. 2.3 times).

Knee extension moment of the front leg is greatest with a more acute shank angle (60 degrees) and a shorter step length (55 % of leg length).

The knee extension moment of the front leg is greatest with a more acute shank angle (60 degrees) and a shorter step length (55 % of leg length).

The knee extension moment of the front leg was greatest with a more acute shank angle (60 degrees) and a shorter step length (55 % of leg length) and smallest with an overextended shank angle (105 degrees) and a longer step length (85 % of leg length).

Bryanton et al. (2011) found that as relative load increased from 50 % of 1RM to 90 % of 1RM, the ratio of net hip extension moment to net knee extension moment increased from 1.1 times to 1.5 times, while Flanagan & Salem (2007) also observed a greater increase in net hip extension compared to net knee extension moment, with increasing load.

The split squat appears to display greater hip extension moments and smaller knee extension moments than the standard back squat.

In certain trials of older men and women, training with whole body vibration significantly improved muscle torque and power, and were proportionately greatest in plantarflexion and to a lesser extent knee extension, while hip flexion and extension, and knee flexion and dorsiflexion measures were unaltered.

Later similar research confirmed this, as the increases in hip extension net joint moments with increasing running speed were found to be greater than the increases in knee extension net joint moments, or work done (Simpson & Bates, 1990; Belli et al. 2001; Kuitunen et al. 2002; Schache et al. 2011; 2014; 2015).

They found that hip extension performed in knee flexion led to greater gluteus maximus EMG amplitude than hip extension performing in knee extension (23 % vs. 13 % of MVIC).

Similarly, Arokoski et al. (1999) found that the quadruped hip extension with contra - lateral arm lift produced the greatest gluteus maximus EMG amplitude, followed by the prone hip extension with flexed knee, followed by the horizontal back extension.

Firstly, the exercise involves combined hip and knee extension, which is expected to lead to greater EMG amplitude in the quadriceps and less EMG amplitude in the gluteus maximus (Yamashita, 1988; Kwon et al. 2013).

It is expected that performing deadlifts with the same absolute load would produce greatest EMG amplitude in the gluteus maximus when deadlifts are pulled from the lower starting points because external hip extension moment arm lengths and hip extension moments are greatest at lift - off in comparison with knee - passing and lock - out (Escamilla et al. 2000; Escamilla et al. 2002).

So exercises that involve less knee extension (hip thrusts, deadlifts, pull throughs and back extensions) will tend to produce much greater hip muscle activation than those that involve more knee extension (squats, lunges, and leg presses), although there are other factors involved of course!
