Sentences with phrase «knee flexion strength»

Before each session, immediately after, 2 hours after and 24 hours after the researchers measured muscle twitch properties, knee extension strength, knee flexion strength, blood lactate, body fluid pH, creatine kinase, aspartate transaminase, C - reactive protein, heart rate, ratings of perceived exertion and muscle soreness.

(i.e. knee extension strength vs. knee flexion strength: 60:40 ratio)» (Reference 6, Siff and Verkhoshansky)

Not exact matches

This is a very important muscle group for athletes though, because it performs multiple functions crucial for explosive strength, such as knee flexion and hip extension.

They looked at bench press, squat strength, and knee extension / flexion peak torque (ability to overcome resistance).

For this reason, Olympic weightlifters have primary done high bar back squats and front squats to develop strength in the exact positional alignments needed to transfer over to cleans and snatches (an upright torso with high amounts of knee flexion).

In fact, front and back squats are more similar than they are different — both require massive amounts of strength / stability in the hips and core, as well as requisite «access» to hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle dorsiflexion — so I really see little need to get all territorial about which one is better.

The elite Olympic weightlifters did display a greater isokinetic concentric knee flexion torque but the extent to which hamstring strength is relevant to Olympic weightlifting is unclear.

Here are the key details: Population = 1,755 institutionalised and community - dwelling Spanish people (985 females and 770 males), aged > 65 years Intervention = four different measurements of strength (grip, shoulder abduction, hip flexion and knee extension) using a hand dynamometer, compiled into a composite measure Comparisons = four quartiles of strength (high, medium - high, medium - low, and low) Outcome = risk ratios for mortality and hospitalisation To combine the four measurements of strength into one composite measure, the researchers used the following calculation.

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.

Where exercises display peak hamstrings EMG amplitude at different degrees of knee flexion, this may imply that they could lead to increases in strength and hypertrophy in different parts of the hamstring muscles.

Andersen et al. (2015) reported joint angle - specific gains in strength, whereby squats with free weights produced gains in isometric strength at both 60 and 90 degrees of knee flexion, while squats against elastic bands produced gains in isometric strength only at 60 degrees of knee flexion.

It is thought that lower hip abduction strength leads to a reduced ability to control the hip abduction and internal rotation movements of the thigh during knee flexion.

Isometric muscle strength was measured by knee extension, elbow flexion, and hand grip.
