Sentences with phrase «quadriceps muscle force»

The first objective was to determine if an acute bout of SMR via a high - pressure foam roller affects volitional and evoked quadriceps muscle force.

Not exact matches

Athletic bodies are not always skinny - swimmers require a level of body fat to improve their buoyancy, and downhill skiers require bulky quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal muscles to counteract the forces operating on them as they descend at high speeds.

As most Power Clean muscles involved mainly work concentrically or isometrically, the Quadriceps is one of the few muscles, that has to work hard eccentrically during the catch phase to absorb and break the downward forces.

Ideal for applying sweeping strokes to long muscle groups like the calves, adductors and quadriceps, as well as small, directed force to areas like the TFL, IT Band, hip rotators and gluteus medius.

The most important findings presented are as follows: (a) There was a significant increase in knee joint ROM at 2 minutes postfoam rolling (12.7 %) and 10 minutes postfoam rolling (10.3 %) of the quadriceps muscles, (b) there was no significant changes in voluntary or evoked muscle properties after foam rolling, and (c) after foam rolling, the negative correlation between ROM and force production no longer existed.

A within - subject design was used to examine the acute effects of self - induced myofascial release of the quadriceps muscles on: ROM, maximum voluntary force, muscle activation, tetanic force, twitch force and half relaxation time, and rate of force development (RFD).

For example, the quadriceps muscles in many mammals have large PA and PCSA but short NFL and may therefore be well - suited to high levels of force production but not large excursions at high velocities (Sacks & Roy, 1982; Lieber & Blevins, 1999).
