Sentences with phrase «on knee flexion»

Testing on the 1 R.M. continuum on knee flexion exercises (a.k.a. leg curls) show that to stay within 70 % of the maximum, you can not do more than 8 reps.. So in my opinion, leg curls done above eight reps are a complete waste of time.

Not exact matches

On the other hand, setting your feet lower on the platform will make the move more challenging for your quads by reducing the degree of hip extension and flexion while increasing the range of motion around the kneeOn the other hand, setting your feet lower on the platform will make the move more challenging for your quads by reducing the degree of hip extension and flexion while increasing the range of motion around the kneeon the platform will make the move more challenging for your quads by reducing the degree of hip extension and flexion while increasing the range of motion around the knees.

In addition, it's superior to traditional leg exercises because of the greater emphasis on the eccentric component of knee flexion and its strong carryover to the deadlift and squat.

The hamstrings are responsible for knee flexion, hip extension and rotation on the knee joint when flexed.

Substitute standing rapid hip extension (hands on wall, chest up, rapidly extend your right hip back with slight bend in your knee, holding your TA tight so that it is pure hip flexion and no lumbar extension.

You want to achieve a full - range of motion, which puts emphasis on maximum knee flexion.

Supine (Passive): Have an individual lay on his or her's back and bring knee into hip flexion.

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 suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.

Additionally, Konrad et al. (2001) found no difference in rectus abdominis muscle activity between the curl up with the hips and knees at 90 degrees of flexion, feet resting on a bench, and the bent leg unanchored sit up.
