Muscle inflammatory cells after passive stretches, isometric contractions, and lengthening contractions

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002
We tested the hypotheses that lengthening contractions, isometric contractions, and passive stretches increase muscle inflammatory cells (neutrophils and macrophages) and that prior conditioning with lengthening contractions, isometric contractions, or passive stretches reduces neutrophils and macrophages after subsequent lengthening contractions ...

Comments on ‘Assessment of Isometric Muscle Contractions’

Ergonomics, 1972
The work of Rohmert on static work is briefly reviewed and the results he obtained are applied to data obtained by Lloyd et al. It is shown that the two approaches to static work are compatible.

Comparison of two modalities when exerting isometric contractions

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1985
In order to verify whether the method employed to obtain an isometric contraction has any effects on the time for which the contraction can be sustained as well as the consequent cardiocirculatory responses, nine male subjects, from 23 to 42 years of age, carried out isometric contractions of the elbow flexor muscles against either a suspended weight ...

Cardiovascular Adjustments To Isometric Contractions

1993
Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the cardiovascular adjustments to isometric contractions-also called isometric or static exercise-and to contrast these adjustments with those already described for dynamic exercise. This will provide background and set the stage for later chapters dealing with the reflexes that govern ...

Predicting fatigue during electrically stimulated non‐isometric contractions

Muscle & Nerve, 2010
AbstractMathematical prediction of power loss during electrically stimulated contractions is of value to those trying to minimize fatigue and to those trying to decipher the relative contributions of force and velocity. Our objectives were to: (1) develop a model of non‐isometric fatigue for electrical stimulation–induced, open‐chain, repeated ...

Muscular compliance during isometric contraction.

Journal de physiologie, 1979
The changes in compliance during the development of maximal isometric contraction were studied at 0 degree C in isolated frog (Rana temporaria) sartorii. Three types of method were compared: controlled release from the plateau of tetanic tension (P0); controlled release at various times during the development of tension; and evaluation of the elastic ...

Isometric Contraction of the Extraocular Muscles

1978
For many years investigators have been trying to get a quantitative impression of the pulling power of eye muscles. Until about 1967 the only methods of assessment were Electromyography (EMG) and the Forced Duction Test (FDT). In particular, EMG is of great value.
