The Influence of External Elastic Compression on the Activity of Track and Field Athletes
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to quantify the effects of external compression on the muscular strength, fatigue, and activity through electromyography (EMG) and mechanomyography (MMG) during isokinetic muscle actions. 66.4 N and 85.8 N tension-length curves (used as moderate and high compression, respectively) were obtained with standard weights through a force transducer. All subjects (n = 12) performed 5 seconds of MVCs and 25 isokinetic knee extensions at 60o s-1 & 300o s-1 with the two different compressions and without compression. The signals for strength production, EMG, and MMG amplitude (RMS) were collected simultaneously. No significant differences were found among three compressions for strength production; while there was a significant decrescence in the ratio of torque and overall rmsEMG (P < 0.05) during performing isokinetic knee extensions at 60o s-1 & 300o s-1, comparing to the none compression. Local elastic compression on lower extremity did not significantly improve isokinetic strength in a short period of time, but did positively affect on muscular fatigue by helping maintain long-term force production through recruiting lesser motor units during movements.

Elastic Buckling Analysis of Composite Shells with Elliptical Cross-section under Axial Compression
In the present research, the elastic buckling of composite cross-ply elliptical cylindrical shells under axial compression is studied through finite element approach. The formulation is based on shear deformation theory and the serendipity quadrilateral eight-node element is used to study the elastic behavior of elliptical cylindrical shells. The strain-displacement relations are accurately acc...
متن کاملA Mini-Review of Track And Field’s Talent-Identification Models in Iran and Some Designated Countries
Talent identification and training the athletes of the basic levels in track and field requires codifying a proper model like any other system so that any duplication is prevented as well as knowing the right path. The federation of track and field started to codify the national talent-identification scheme in track and field in 1385. Hence, the present studies track-and-field talent-identifi...
متن کاملEvaluating Pile Yarn Characteristics in Hand Woven Carpet using Stress-Strain Behavior in Compression
Many factors such as production methods and structural parameters have distinctive influence on the quality and performance of a hand woven carpet. To investigate the effects of some variables, eighteen samples of carpet vary, in knot density, pile height and percentage of slipe wool, were manufactured. Pile yarn performance was assessed by using load-displacement compression curve, obtained fr...
