[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of the slow speed-targeting squat exercise on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio. [Subjects] Ten asymptomatic men were recruited. [Methods] The EMG activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were recorded using surface electrodes. The subject performed the squat exercise under 3 different conditions. [Resu...

(1) Background: this study aimed to determine if there are differences in quadriceps and hamstring muscle activation professional male female soccer players. (2) Methods: was recorded by surface electromyography 27 players (19 8 female). The performed the Bulgarian squat lunge exercises. Vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, semitendinosus, biceps femoris were muscles analyzed. (3)...

Background. Due to the lack of sufficient information about the interactive effects of high intensity intermittent training (HIIT) and blood flow restricted (BFR) exercises on angiogenic variables of skeletal muscle, it seems that integration these training models can influence skeletal muscle angiogenesis in the long term over the individual application of each of these training methods. Obje...

Estimation of assimilation efficiency of bivalves, fed with radiolabeled bacteria, differs substantially depending on choice of tracer. We have investigated assimilation of bactena by the dwarf surf clam MuLinia lateralis (Say) using bacteria labeled w t h either ~ [ ~ ~ S ] m e t h i o n i n e or [ m e t h y l 3 ~ ] thymidme. Labeled bacteria were fed to M. lateralis 6.18 f 0.45 mm (mean +SD) ...
