Sentences with phrase «in knee extensor»

In a placebo controlled double - blind study of frail elderly patients, treatment with NAC doubled the increase in knee extensor strength during a 6 - week program of physical exercise and slowed the subsequent decline during a 6 - week follow - up period.

The results were a little unclear because the changes were very small after such a light training program — but the increases in MMSE score were indeed correlated (with p < 0.05) with increases in knee extensor strength.

Not exact matches

The researchers evaluated the mechanisms by which the tissue obtains energy by burning sugars and fats by the intervention of oxygen during exercise, on the knee extensors of one leg in 11 active men.

In a nutshell, the anatomic traits that are associated with a more upright squatting posture include: greater heel elevation, greater ankle dorsiflexion mobility, shorter femur length, longer torso length, wider stance width, more abduction, a higher bar position on the back, greater quadriceps strength and increased intent to target the knee extensors.

The vastus medialis (vastus internus or teardrop muscle) is an extensor muscle located medially in the thigh that extends the knee.

If you are truly dedicated in solving the problem, I would suggest 10 - 12 sets of low rep knee flexion in the morning, and 8 - 10 sets of high rep hip extensors exercise in the afternoon.

Sure enough, the more highly supervised athletes gained significantly more strength in bench press and knee extensor exercises.

Knee extensor moment arm lengths are greatest in the order box > traditional > powerlifting squat styles.

In contrast, knee extensor moments in the back squat increase with increasing relative load and squat depth but reduce with cues to prevent forward movement of the knees over the toes or with greater trunk leaIn contrast, knee extensor moments in the back squat increase with increasing relative load and squat depth but reduce with cues to prevent forward movement of the knees over the toes or with greater trunk leain the back squat increase with increasing relative load and squat depth but reduce with cues to prevent forward movement of the knees over the toes or with greater trunk lean.

Among the lower body muscles, the plantar flexors display the highest proportion of type I muscle fibers, and the knee extensors display the lowest proportion of type I muscle fibers, as shown in the chart below, which presents the mean of the data from all currently available studies.

Wretenberg et al. (1996) found that peak knee extensor moments were lower during powerlifting squats than during Olympic weightlifting - style squats, even though the powerlifting squats involved the use of greater absolute loads; Swinton et al. (2012) reported that peak knee extensor moments were greater in the box squat variation than in either the traditional or powerlifting squat variations, but there was no difference between traditional and powerlifting squats.

McLaughlin et al. (1978) similarly noted that peak knee extensor moments were smaller in individuals who displayed greater trunk lean and more acute hip angles, which is associated with this type of exercise cue.

Given the equal roles of the hip and knee extensors in this exercise, it is difficult to identify whether the effects of squat training achieves improvements in COD ability through increases in quadriceps or hip extensor (adductor magnus, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings) muscle size.

Since strength is specific, then: strength training that focuses on the knee (and hip) extensors should lead to superior gains in COD ability than strength training that is more generally applied to the whole lower body.

Since strength is specific, then: strength training for the hip extensors and knee extensors with eccentric - only muscle actions or accentuated eccentric loading should lead to superior gains in COD ability compared to conventional strength training.

Twisting Low Lunge Benefits: Creates space in thoracic spine; stretches back extensors, ilia - psoas, thighs Starting on hands and knees, step one foot between hands.

Net energy absorbed by the knee (extensors in initial swing, and flexors in terminal swing) was also very strongly associated with running speed, and similarly increased substantially with increasing speed.

Mann (1980) observed in a group of elite sprinters that the best athletes displayed the greatest hip extensor (and knee flexor) net joint moments.

Test of transfer (long - term): strength training emphasizing the hip extensors more than the knee extensors (e.g. jump squat vs. push press or hip thrust vs. front squat) does lead to greater gains in sprinting performance compared to exercises that stress the knee extensors more than the hip extensors (Loturco et al. 2016; Contreras et al. 2016), and a hamstring - focused strengthening program is additive for sprinting when included alongside normal training (Mendiguchia et al. 2015).

However, knee external moment arm length is more positive (so a greater knee extensor moment is needed) in the hexagonal barbell compared to the straight barbell, and in the sumo style compared to the conventional deadlift style.

This is because of differences in external moment arm lengths, which can be either knee flexor or knee extensor between different individuals and when using different barbell types.

The patella, or knee cap, is a small bone buried in the tendon of the extensor muscles (the quadriceps muscles) of the thigh.
