Sentences with phrase «knee extensor strength»

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

Specific strength requirement: knee flexor (and possibly also knee extensor) eccentric strength; hip flexor and hip extensor concentric strength.

Test of transfer (long - term): Strength training that targets the hip extensors close to full extension (such as with the hip thrust), and the knee extensors at around 40 degrees from full extension (such as with the quarter squat), may well transfer better to sprinting than strength training that targets the hip and knee extensors at other jointStrength training that targets the hip extensors close to full extension (such as with the hip thrust), and the knee extensors at around 40 degrees from full extension (such as with the quarter squat), may well transfer better to sprinting than strength training that targets the hip and knee extensors at other jointstrength training that targets the hip and knee extensors at other joint angles.

Specific strength requirement: hip extensor and knee flexor (hamstrings) and hip flexor (psoas major and rectus femoris) strength.
