Sentences with phrase «perform knee extension»

Not exact matches

Perform a hip hinge (moving the hips through a complete flexion to extension with minimal knee bend) with your arms overhead to give your thoracolumbar fascia (a membrane seated in your posterior thorax and abdomen) a good stretch.

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.

Return to the starting position by reversing the motion and repeat it on the opposite side by performing an extension with your left leg while simultaneously bringing your right pec over your left knee by crunching your torso in the opposite direction.

Perform a one - leg extension with your right leg while simultaneously crunching and twisting your torso so that your left pec comes over your right knee.

You can also perform the lying tricep extension lying flat on the floor with knees bent.

The caveat is only if you perform them properly - not with the eye watering knee valgus and lack of hip extension that the typical player performs the lifts with that more resembles a sumo squat - reverse curl combo.

Performing a triple extension involves moving from a position in which the hips, knees and ankles are bent, to a fully extended position in which all three joints are locked.

It may be the case that the movement pattern can be performed in either a hip - dominant or a knee - dominant way and that greater inclination of the trunk leads to greater hip extension moments (Yoshioka et al. 2007).

Yamashita (1988) compared hamstrings EMG amplitude during isolated hip extension and isolated knee extension movements performed with 20 % of the MVIC moment to hamstrings EMG amplitude with a combined hip and knee extension movement using the same hip and knee extension moments.

Three of them are two - joint muscles (performing both knee flexion and hip extension) while the fourth performs only knee flexion.

Before attempting maximal contractions, the subjects would perform approximately 3 — 5 submaximal knee extension isometric contractions.

They found that hip extension performed in knee flexion led to greater gluteus maximus EMG amplitude than hip extension performing in knee extension (23 % vs. 13 % of MVIC).

Training to increase the strength and size of the gluteus maximus may be better performed with movements that limit knee extension (e.g. hip thrusts and back extensions) compared to with movements that involve substantial knee extension (squats and step ups).

It is expected that performing deadlifts with the same absolute load would produce greatest EMG amplitude in the gluteus maximus when deadlifts are pulled from the lower starting points because external hip extension moment arm lengths and hip extension moments are greatest at lift - off in comparison with knee - passing and lock - out (Escamilla et al. 2000; Escamilla et al. 2002).

In that study, 23 college - aged individuals with reduced knee extension ROM were randomized to a control group (normal activity) or a foam rolling protocol performed 3 times per week.

Gluteus maximus EMG amplitude can be enhanced during back extensions by performing the exercise in a position of knee flexion and / or in hip external rotation, and by adding external loads (such as by wearing a weighted vest or holding a dumbbell or weight plate).
