Effect of surface stiffness on the neural control of stretch-shortening cycle movements [PDF]

, 2014
Aim: It is accepted that leg stiffness (Kleg) increases when surface stiffness decreases, and vice versa. However, little is known how the central nervous system fulfils this task.

Contribution of Stretch-Induced Force Enhancement to Increased Performance in Maximal Voluntary and Submaximal Artificially Activated Stretch-Shortening Muscle Action

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
In everyday muscle action or exercises, a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is performed under different levels of intensity. Thereby, compared to a pure shortening contraction, the shortening phase in a SSC shows increased force, work, and power.

Revisiting Frank–Starling: regulatory light chain phosphorylation alters the rate of force redevelopment (ktr) in a length-dependent fashion [PDF]

, 2016
Force and power in cardiac muscle have a known dependence on phosphorylation of the myosin-associated regulatory light chain (RLC). We explore the effect of RLC phosphorylation on the ability of cardiac preparations to redevelop force (ktr ) in maximally

Slip rates on the Chelungpu and Chushiang thrust faults inferred from a deformed strath terrace along the Dungpuna river, west central Taiwan [PDF]

, 2007
The Chelungpu fault produced the September 1999 M_w = 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake, central Taiwan. The shortening rate accommodated by this structure, integrated over several seismic cycles, and its contribution to crustal shortening across the Taiwanese ...

Investigating the Correlation Between Agility and Jump Performance Indices in Indian Contact Sports Persons: An Observational Study

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2023
Introduction: The use of the jump as a plyometric exercise is a way to improve jump performance. Additionally, as it requires abrupt stopping, starting, and changing directions, it might enhance agility.

Effects of Equal Volume But Different Plyometric Jump Training Intensities on Components of Physical Fitness in Physically Active Young Males [PDF]

, 2019
An 8-week single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the effects of separate programs of equal volume, but different intensity, plyometric jump training (PJT), on physical fitness in healthy adults.

Stretch Shortening Cycle in Childhood

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014
AbstractThe examination of stretch shortening cycle (SSC) in children became an interesting topic for research during the past years as it provides an important insight into the functioning of the neuromuscular system. This paper presents several studies related to children and their ability to jump.

Why fencers should bounce: a new method of movement to engage the stretch-shortening cycle [PDF]

, 2017
While teaching a heel first contact style of footwork in fencing (also referred to as toe contribution avoidance) is in keeping with long standing traditions, it is not conducive to today’s modern style of fast paced and explosive fencing.
