Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior

Effects of different dropping intensities on fascicle and tendinous tissue behavior during stretch-shortening cycle exercise.

This study examined whether the elasticity of the tendinous tissues plays an important role in human locomotion by improving the power output and efficiency of skeletal muscle. Ten subjects performed one-leg drop jumps (DJ) from different dropping heights with a constant rebound height. The fascicle length of the vastus lateralis muscle was measured by using real-time ultrasonography during DJ....

The Effect of Concurrent Activation Potentiation During Fast Stretch Shortening Cycle Activity

Stretch-shortening Cycle in the Upper Extremities

Miyaguchi, K and Demura, S. Gender difference in ability using the stretch-shortening cycle in the upper extremities. J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 231–236, 2009—A gender difference in ability using the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC ability) in the upper extremities has not been studied in detail. This study aimed to devise an index to evaluate SSC ability during powerful elbow flexion and to exam...

Effect of Preactivation on Torque Enhancement by the Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Knee Extensors

The stretch-shortening cycle is one of the most interesting topics in the field of sport sciences, because the performance of human movement is enhanced by the stretch-shortening cycle (eccentric contraction). The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the influence of preactivation on the torque enhancement by stretch-shortening cycle in knee extensors. Twelve men participated in ...
