The muscle strokes also are reversible for millions of cycles as the muscles contract and expand under heavy mechanical loads.

They are subjected to heavy mechanical loading during liftoff when the acceleration rises to eight times» that of Earth's gravity.

Not exact matches

Army Research Lab engineers are officially testing a mechanical third arm designed to help soldiers wield oversized weaponry and hump heavy loads downrange without sacrificing their performance, the service announced on Feb. 27.

Since increasing mechanical tension means working with heavier loads, progressive overload is the way to go for more muscle.

The use of heavy eccentric strength training exercise together with more explosive, plyometric - like movements, therefore, seems to provide the ideal combination of mechanical load and neuromuscular recruitment needed to improve the rate of force development.

During eccentric training, we can use a much heavier weight, for more reps, and create a much greater mechanical loading on the muscle, at the same time as producing far lower muscle activation.

There is also the matter of mechanical loading on the bone itself - the long bones (of the legs, for example) bow ever so slightly under heavy loading, which results in adaptation (bone thickening across the entire length of the bone) to prevent possible damage in the future.

For dynamic effort, the athlete must be careful not to use too much weight (or too little)- weights that are too light (20 - 30 % of max) do not provide enough mechanical load to require ALL motor units be recruited, and weights that are too heavy (60 + %) can not be moved with enough velocity to train rapid contraction.
