Isoinertial Assessment of Eccentric Muscular Strength

Strength & Conditioning Journal, 2008
ECCENTRIC STRENGTH IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF FUNCTIONAL DAILY ACTIVITY AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE; THEREFORE, ASSESSING THIS CAPABILITY IS IMPORTANT. TYPICALLY, ISOKINETIC DYNAMOMETERS ARE USED TO ASSESS ECCENTRIC FORCE CAPABILITY. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTRACTION MODE (I.E., CONSTANT VELOCITY), LIMITED INFORMATION ...

THE MUSCULAR STRENGTH OF COLLEGE WOMEN

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1918
The present world war has called women to tasks totally unsuited to the accepted standards of women's physical strength and capacities. At the present time, therefore, when our nation needs to mobilize every particle of woman power as well as man power, it is well to determine with as much definiteness as possible what that power may be. In the case of

Muscular strength and mental health.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1983
The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between relative muscular strength and selected psychological traits of male college students. The Body Cathexis Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Tennessee Self-Concept Scale were employed to assess personality in 142 randomly selected subjects, and relative muscular strength was measured

Proprioception and isometric muscular strength in haemophilic subjects

Haemophilia, 2001
Haemophilia is characterized by intra‐articular bleeding, often requiring immobilization, which may result in muscle atrophy and impaired proprioception. The aim of the study was to investigate differences in proprioceptive performance and isometric muscular strength of the lower limbs in haemophilic subjects compared with control subjects.

Muscular Coordination and Strength Training

Sports Medicine, 1988
Strength training is commonly used in the rehabilitation of muscles atrophied as a result of injury and/or disuse. Studies on the effects of conventional leg extension training in healthy subjects have shown the changes to be very task-specific to the training manoeuvre itself.

Effect of Reduced Training Frequency on Muscular Strength*

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1988
Twenty-four men and 26 women (25 +/- 5 years) participating in 10 weeks (n = 27) and 18 weeks (n = 23) of variable resistance strength training programs were recruited to complete 12 weeks of reduced training. Training consisted of one set of 7-10 bilateral knee extensions performed to volitional failure.

Designing effective exergames for muscular strength

Advanced Science and Technology Letters, 2014
The widely spread exergames advertise in providing health benefits through entertainment. However the effectiveness of those in essence is questionable. This paper aims to observe muscular strength amongst others, which if proven effective, or otherwise, it will set out to identify factors associated with it, and to design more effective exergames for ...

[Muscular strength development by electromagnetic stimulation].

Fiziologiia cheloveka, 2014
A new tool for muscular strength development by electromagnetic stimulation (MS) of muscular during voluntary contraction has been described. 18 healthy subjects (men) took part in the research. They were devided into two groups--control (CG) and experimental (EG). Subjects of CG and EG have equal muscular strength parameters. M.
