Inter-day test–retest reliability and feasibility of isokinetic, isometric, and isotonic measurements to assess quadriceps endurance in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A multicenter study

Chronic Respiratory Disease, 2018
The aims were to determine reliability and feasibility of measurements to assess quadriceps endurance in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Sixty participants (forced expiratory volume in one second (mean ± standard deviation) 55 ± 18% of

Optimal timing to assess exercise‐induced oxidative stress: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a lack of consensus on optimal timing to assess redox biomarkers post‐exercise, limiting methodological standardisation and linking oxidative stress to physiology. We determined optimal post‐exercise oxidative stress assessment times using three redox biomarkers: glutathione, F2‐isoprostanes and protein carbonyls.

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.

Combined Effects of Isokinetic Training and Botulinum Toxin Type A on Spastic Equinus Foot in Patients with Chronic Stroke: A Pilot, Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Toxins, 2019
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) has been shown effective for poststroke lower limb spasticity. Following injections, a wide range of multidisciplinary approach has been previously provided.

Isokinetic Muscle Testing

Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal, 2000
Abstract: This paper presents a brief summary of the background to the development of isokinetic dynamometry, while reflecting upon some future potential research fields. Among the latter, it is believed that further investigation of methodological issues will continue to be the most central.

Neuromuscular fatigue and loss of torque complexity during severe‐intensity exercise: The role of muscle size

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effect of severe‐intensity exercise on neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) and torque complexity in two muscle groups of different sizes. The NMF of 11 healthy males was assessed through maximal voluntary contractions at the beginning, every minute and at task failure during intermittent isometric exercise performed at an ...

Muscle- and Mode-Specific Responses of the Forearm Flexors to Fatiguing, Concentric Muscle Actions

Sports, 2016
Background: Electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) studies of fatigue have generally utilized maximal isometric or dynamic muscle actions, but sport- and work-related activities involve predominately submaximal movements.

Validity and Reliability of a Non-invasive Test to Assess Quadriceps and Hamstrings Strength in Athletes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Modifiable risk factors for hamstring injury include lack of strength, fatigue and muscle strength asymmetry. Assessing lower body strength in the field is problematic as “gold standard assessment” are expensive, non-portable and assessment is time ...

Antagonist conditioning contractions impair agonist functioning [PDF]

, 2010
This study assessed the effect of antagonist conditioning contractions (ACC) on the subsequent force and electromyography of an agonist. Twelve subjects performed isokinetic elbow flexion on a dynamometer in 4 test conditions including a baseline ...
