Effect of cold treatment on the concentric and eccentric torque-velocity relationship of the quadriceps femoris By: Kerriann Catlaw

چکیده
This study examined the effect of cold treatment on the force-velocity relationship of the quadriceps muscle of 16 athletes. Each subject performed three maximal concentric and eccentric quadriceps contractions on the Kin-Corn at 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 2000s-1. On one of two testing sessions, subjects received a 20 min ice application prior to testing, and for the remaining session, no ice was applied. The results revealed no significant change in the torque-velocity relationship. A trend analysis revealed linear relationships for the concentric ice [F (1,15) = 82.23] and no ice [F (1,15) = 44.86] conditions as well as for the eccentric ice [F (1,15) = 38.58] and no ice [F (1,15) = 26.40] conditions. There were no significant differences between the concentric ice and no ice means at any velocity, but peak torque at 200051 was significantly different from peak torque at 25-100%-1. For eccentric contractions there was a difference between ice and no ice means, with an increase of 20% and 16% for the ice condition at 175 and 200'sI, respectively. For the eccentric ice conditions across velocities, the PT at 20005-1 was significantly different from the PT at 125-200's -1. This suggests that the application of ice will not decrease strength but may in fact result in an increase in eccentric strength. Article:

Effects of cutaneous and joint receptors on the in vivo quadriceps femoris torque-velocity relationship
The influence of cutaneous and joint receptors on the quadriceps femoris torque-velocity relationship was assessed with the Kin-Com (Chattecx, Inc., Hixson, TN) isokinetic dynamometer. Twenty-four females (age = 21 ± 1.4 years, ht = 163 + 6.0 cm, wt = 60 ± 7.6 kg) were divided into two groups and tested with the force pad placed either proximally or distally on the leg. Three concentric and ecc...
متن کاملA trend analysis of the in vivo quadriceps femoris angle-specific torque-velocity relationship.
To adequately assess isokinetic human muscle performance, it is important for clinicians to understand how the muscle functions across a range of velocities. Thus, the purpose of this study was to re-examine the in vivo quadriceps torque-velocity relationship using trend analysis. Twelve uninjured university-age females performed three concentric and eccentric contractions at velocities of 0, 2...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage. Methods : A total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. The subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at ...

Background: Sports injuries of the knee joint are very common. There are both contact injuries and non-contact injuries. Contractile injuries may be due to an impairment of the knee joint position sense or a decrease of the quadriceps muscle strength. Using a Kinesio taping method may decrease this impairment. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of direction and tension of Kin...
متن کاملResponses to eccentric and concentric resistance training in females and males.
The adaptive responses to 12 weeks of accommodated resistance training were compared in females (n = 11) and males (n = 11). They performed four to five sets of six maximum bilateral coupled concentric and eccentric quadriceps muscle actions at 1.05 rad s-1 three times per week. Uni- and bilateral concentric and eccentric peak torque at different angular velocities (0.52, 1.57 and 2.62 rad s-1)...
