Effects of a 4-Week Multi-Exercise Isometric Resistance Training Programme on Resting and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Normotensive Adults. [PDF]
Eur J Sport SciABSTRACT Isometric resistance training (IRT) can reduce resting and ambulatory blood pressure (AmBP) yet established exercise methods lack versatility and may present with participation barriers. An isometric training band (ITB) has been identified as an alternative modality; however, its long‐term effects on resting and ambulatory blood pressure (BP ...

Increased Bilateral Interactions in Middle-Aged Subjects [PDF]
, 2014 A hallmark of the age-related neural reorganization is that old versus young adults execute typical motor tasks by a more diffuse neural activation pattern including stronger ipsilateral activation during unilateral tasks.

Interplay between body stabilisation and quadriceps muscle activation capacity. [PDF]
, 2017 The study aimed to distinguish the effect of stabilisation and muscle activation on quadriceps maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MVC) torque generation. Nine subjects performed (a) an MVC with restrained leg and pelvis (Typical MVC), (b) a Typical

Effects of sex and joint action on voluntary activation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The current study tested the hypothesis that voluntary activation during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) conditionally depends on sex and joint action. Twenty-eight healthy adults (14 of each sex) performed knee extensor MVC and plantar flexor MVC at

Recognizing When Heuristics Can Approximate Minimum Vertex Covers Is Complete for Parallel Access to NP [PDF]
, 2005 For both the edge deletion heuristic and the maximum-degree greedy heuristic, we study the problem of recognizing those graphs for which that heuristic can approximate the size of a minimum vertex cover within a constant factor of r, where r is a fixed ...

A Dynamic Procedure to Detect Maximum Voluntary Contractions in Low Back
Sensors, 2023 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is generally used to measure muscles’ activity. The sEMG signal can be affected using several factors and vary among individuals and even measurement trials. Thus, to consistently evaluate data among individuals and trials,
