Influence of muscle strength, power and rapid force capacity on maximal club head speed in male National Level golfers [PDF]
This study investigated the relationships between maximal club head speed (CHS) and physiological and anthropometric parameters in 21 national-level male golfers (age: 21.9 ± 3.9 years; handicap: +1.1 ± 1.7). Maximal isometric strength (MVC) was measured

Validity of a mobile device measuring isometric deadlift peak force
Introduction Muscular strength can be viewed as a product of force and velocity. Increases in both maximal force and velocity will ultimately result in an increase in power (Suchomel et al., 2016), thus contributing to performance in tasks such as ...

An investigation into the effects of excluding the catch phase of the power clean on force-time characteristics during isometric and dynamic tasks [PDF]
The aims of this study were to compare the effects of the exclusion or inclusion of the catch phase during power clean (PC) derivatives on force-time characteristics during isometric and dynamic tasks, after two 4-week mesocycles of resistance training ...

The Acute Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Performance
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the acute effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on isometric mid-thigh pull force–time curve (FTC) characteristics. Eleven recreationally trained subjects were randomly assigned to three treatment conditions: sham no vibration protocol (T1), vibration protocol 30 Hz 2–4 mm amplitude (T2), and ...

Assessing muscle strength asymmetry via a unilateral stance isometric mid-thigh pull [PDF]
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the within-session reliability of bilateral and unilateral stance isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) force-time characteristics including peak force (PF), relative PF and impulse at time bands (0-100, 0 ...

Relationships between unilateral muscle strength qualities and change of direction in adolescent team-sport athletes [PDF]
Previous studies have reported an association between global measures of bilateral strength and change of direction (COD) ability. Yet, little is known about the association between unilateral muscle strength qualities and COD ability.

Comparison of methods of calculating dynamic strength index [PDF]
Purpose: To determine the reliability and variability of dynamic strength index (DSI) calculated from squat jump (SJ) (DSI-SJ) versus countermovement jump (CMJ) (DSI-CMJ) peak force (PF) and to compare DSI values between methods.
