Potentiation of isokinetic torque is velocity-dependent following an isometric conditioning contraction
Not only twitch torque but also the maximal voluntary concentric torque increases after a high-intensity contraction (conditioning contraction). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the increase in the maximal voluntary concentric torque induced by a conditioning contraction is prominent when tested at fast angular velocities conditions. Twelve healthy male participants per...
متن کاملCorrection of isokinetic and isometric torque recordings for the effects of gravity. A clinical report.
The effect of gravity on neuromuscular perform ance should be measured in most research applica tions and in some clinical assessments. Comparing recorded values of maximal torque generated by knee extensor and flexor muscles using the Cybex® II* isokinetic dynamometer shows that gravity signifi cantly affects the recordings, resulting in an overestimation of active flexor muscle torque and ...
متن کاملIsometric, isotonic, and isokinetic torque variations in four muscle groups through a range of joint motion.
The purpose of this investigation was to describe and examine variations in maximal torque produced by knee extension, knee flexion, elbow extension, and elbow flexion through a range of joint motion. Subjects were young, healthy men (n = 16) and women (n = 15). Torque was measured isometrically and isokinetically using a modified Cybex apparatus. Isotonic torque was calculated from a one-repet...
متن کاملNeuromuscular fatigue following isometric contractions with similar torque time integral.
Torque time integral (TTI) is the combination of intensity and duration of a contraction. The aim of this study was to compare neuromuscular alterations following different isometric sub-maximal contractions of the knee extensor muscles but with similar TTI. Sixteen participants performed 3 sustained contractions at different intensities (25%, 50%, and 75% of Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC)...
متن کاملEffects of Isokinetic Passive Exercise and Isometric Muscle Contraction on Passive Stiffness
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of isokinetic passive exercise and motion velocity on passive stiffness. In addition, we also discuss the effects of the contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles on passive stiffness. [Subjects] The subjects were 20 healthy men with no bone or joint disease. [Methods] Isokinetic passive exercise and isometric muscle contrac...
