Trainability of Muscular Activity Level during Maximal Voluntary Co-Contraction: Comparison between Bodybuilders and Nonathletes
Antagonistic muscle pairs cannot be fully activated simultaneously, even with maximal effort, under conditions of voluntary co-contraction, and their muscular activity levels are always below those during agonist contraction with maximal voluntary effort (MVE). Whether the muscular activity level during the task has trainability remains unclear. The present study examined this issue by comparin...
متن کاملIs muscular activity level during abdominal bracing trainable? A comparison study between bodybuilders and non-athletes.
Co-contraction of abdominal muscles (abdominal bracing) is considered an effective exercise technique for improving spinal stability, and is often recommended and/or included in rehabilitation and/or fitness programs (Maeo et al., 2013b). Abdominal bracing has been shown to induce higher activation in deep abdominal muscles such as transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles, which are c...
متن کاملMuscular co-contraction during walking and landing from a jump: comparison between genders and influence of activity level.
BACKGROUND Women have higher rates of knee ligament injury than men. Co-contraction of knee muscles is proposed to be an important mechanism to protect the joint from injuries. HYPOTHESIS Females have lower co-contraction levels when compared to males. STUDY DESIGN Exploratory, cross-sectional design. METHODS Thirty-six men and women equally divided into four groups according to gender an...

متن کاملThe Effect of Three Types of Military Boots’ Mileage on Knee Muscular Co-Contraction During Running
Purpose: Military boots’ mileage is a main factor that can be influence the risk of sustaining injuries during running. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three types of military boots’ mileage on knee muscular co-contraction during running. Methods: Fifteen healthy males received three new pairs of military boots. They were asked to wear these shoes for over 6 months. ...
