Influence of Horizontal Restriction in Eccentric Loading Test

Variability and influence of eccentric kinematics on unilateral vertical, horizontal, and lateral countermovement jump performance.

The purposes of this study were to determine the (a) magnitude of variability associated with certain eccentric variables (eccentric peak velocity, displacement, and ground contact time) during unilateral countermovement jump performance (vertical [VCMJ], horizontal [HCMJ], and lateral [LCMJ]); (b) differences between limbs as well as between jumps; and (c) relationship between jump performance...

Capacity of grillage foundations under horizontal loading

Water loading and restriction in essential hypertension.

Blood pressure, plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP), and renal excretory responses to short-term water loading (oral load of 20 ml/kg body weight over 30-45 minutes) were compared in 10 normotensive and 13 mild to moderately essential hypertensive subjects. In addition, we examined the renal concentrating ability of an additional group of 10 normotensive subjects and 12 hypertensive subjects in r...

Recovery levels after eccentric and concentric loading in maximal force

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare the differences in recovery periods after maximal concentric and eccentric exercises. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two participants voluntarily participated and were divided into two groups: the athlete and sedentary groups. An incremental treadmill running test was performed until exhaustion. During the subsequent passive recovery session, heart ...

Reliability of measurements of concentric and eccentric isokinetic loading.

The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of a method for testing peak torque and work output of the knee extensor muscle during concentric and eccentric loading at three velocities of exercise (60 degrees, 120 degrees, and 180 degrees/sec). Fourteen healthy men (23-32 years of age) performed exercises of the quadriceps femoris muscles during concentric and eccentric loading, with...
