Lifting capacity prediction model using physical performance measures among construction workers

Scientific Reports, 2022
Manual materials handling is performed in many workplaces and is a significant risk factor for musculoskeletal injuries. The identification of lifting capacity is important to reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal injuries.

Acute physiological responses of blood flow restriction between high‐intensity interval repetitions in trained cyclists

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 777-787, June 2024.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) is increasingly being used to enhance aerobic performance in endurance athletes. This study examined physiological responses to BFR applied in recovery phases within a high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) session in trained cyclists. Eleven competitive road cyclists (mean ± SD, age: 28 ± 7 years, body mass: 69 ±

The role of pennation angle and architectural gearing to rate of force development in dynamic and isometric muscle contractions

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Background Associations between muscle architecture and rate of force development (RFD) have been largely studied during fixed‐end (isometric) contractions. Fixed‐end contractions may, however, limit muscle shape changes and thus alter the relationship between muscle architecture an RFD.

Clinical Applications of Iso-Inertial, Eccentric-Overload (YoYo™) Resistance Exercise

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
In the quest for a viable non-gravity dependent method to “lift weights” in space, our laboratory introduced iso-inertial resistance (YoYo™) exercise using spinning flywheel(s), more than 25 years ago.

Physiological and molecular predictors of cycling sprint performance

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The study aimed to identify novel muscle phenotypic factors that could determine sprint performance using linear regression models including the lean mass of the lower extremities (LLM), myosin heavy chain composition (MHC), and proteins and enzymes implicated in glycolytic and aerobic energy generation (citrate synthase, OXPHOS proteins ...

Characterisation of the Muscle Protein Synthetic Response to Resistance Exercise in Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review and Exploratory Meta‐Analysis

Translational Sports Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background and Objective. The rate of skeletal muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the principal driving force underpinning the muscular adaptive response to resistance exercise (RE). This study aims to consolidate the literature, characterise MPS response to RE, and assess the impact of key covariates. Methods. Five electronic databases (PubMed (Medline)

Force Production and Electromyographic Activity during Different Flywheel Deadlift Exercises

Sports
This study aimed to characterize and compare force production and muscle activity during four flywheel deadlift exercises (bilateral [Bi] vs. unilateral [Uni]) with different loading conditions (vertical [Ver] vs. horizontal [Hor]).

Isoinertial eccentric-overload training in young soccer players: Effects on strength, sprint, change of direction, agility and soccer shooting precision

, 2020
The isoinertial training method owes its efficacy to an accommodated resistance and optimal individualized eccentric overload. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a 6-week isoinertial eccentric-overload training program-using a flywheel ...

The ability of isoinertial assessment to monitor specific training effects.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness, 2008
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of isoinertial assessment to monitor training effects. Both parametric and curve analysis of the results were used to underline the specificity of maximal strength and maximal velocity resistance training methods.Twenty-four untrained subjects were randomly assigned into three groups: a maximal ...
