Stretch Shortening Cycle in Childhood [PDF]
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.

The stretch-shortening cycle effect is not associated with cortical or spinal excitability modulations. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract It is unclear whether cortical and spinal excitability modulations contribute to enhanced SSC performance. Therefore, this study investigated cortical and spinal excitability modulations during and following shortening of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) contractions compared with pure shortening (SHO ...

Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle Architecture Is Altered After Exhaustive Stretch-Shortening Cycle Exercise [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Muscle architecture is an important component of muscle function, and recent studies have shown changes in muscle architecture with fatigue. The stretch-shortening cycle is a natural way to study human locomotion, but little is known about how muscle ...

Maximal eccentric–concentric strength determines stretch-shortening cycle leg power across biological sexes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe ratio of eccentric-to-concentric force output (E/C ratio) is higher in female compared to male individuals, however, the functional implications for stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) leg power output remains unknown. Thus, in the present study, male and

The Influence of Growth and Maturation on Stretch-Shortening Cycle Function in Youth. [PDF]
Sports Med, 2018 Hopping, skipping, jumping and sprinting are common tasks in both active play and competitive sports. These movements utilise the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC), which is considered a naturally occurring muscle action for most forms of human locomotion.
