Cross‐education of lower limb muscle strength following resistance exercise training in males and females: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cross‐education describes the training of one limb that leads to performance enhancements in the contralateral untrained limb, driven by neural changes rather than muscle adaptation. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cross‐education (vs. a control group) via resistance exercise training (RET) for

Isokinetic Strength Profile of the Wrist Muscles: A Study of Healthy Women and Men

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Objective: In the isokinetic literature, relatively limited attention has been paid to muscles of the wrist. Therefore, the objective of this study was to present an isokinetic profile of these muscles comprising the flexors (F); extensors (E); and ulnar

Impaired Postural Control Reduces Sit-to-Stand-to-Sit Performance in Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Functional activities, such as the sit-to-stand-to-sit (STSTS) task, are often impaired in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Impact of a 20-Week Resistance Training Program on the Force–Velocity Profile in Novice Lifters Using Isokinetic Two-Point Testing

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of a 20-week resistance training program on force–velocity (F-V) parameters using an isokinetic two-point method and comparing one-repetition maximum (1-RM) methods in novice lifters.
