inhalation.","When the stimulus frequency is so high that the relaxation phase disappears completely, the contractions become continuous; this is called tetanus.","The resistance pad was positioned directly under the heads of the metatarsals.","Automatically reload the page if a deprecation caused an automatic downgrade, ensure visitors get the best possible experience.","Extending your elbow during a bicep curl and lowering the forearm away from the shoulder is a eccentric contraction for the bicep muscles.","And I never thought of it in terms of where should the tensegrity model switch.","What factors contribute to the amount of tension produced in an individual muscle fiber?","Neuronal mechanisms of human locomotion.","Closed chain bilateral hip extension over the ball.","What does the biceps Brachii do?","PA was also obtained during rest at both knee angles.","What does fit with how the human body.","Impact of repeated bouts of eccentric exercise on myogenic gene expression.","AF collected and analyzed the data.","In concentric muscle the force is generated collectively by the contractile element and at less extent the parallel element, while isometric muscle contraction involves the full contribution of the parallel element.","Similarly, from our aspect of view, such a cost function can be extended to assess a single muscle group function.","Identify which muscles are contracting the most.","MVCs at various movement speeds demonstrated that torque production in untrained older adults was readily increased.","Wen DY, Schultz BJ, Schaal B, Graham ST, Kim BS.","When sarcomeres elongate to allow a muscle to lengthen, this alters the amount of overlap between the actin and myosin filaments, and this affects the amount of force that they can produce.","Son J, Rymer WZ, Lee SSM.","Observations that aging limits the ability to produce fast, forceful muscle contractions at higher velocities of movement prompt the question: Can training these movements over time promote a neural adaptation to improve peak torque and power at faster movement speeds?","Pre values in VL muscles of both sides.","Did you just make your first purchase with Human Kinetics?","Second, our participants performed shoulder flexion in the quadruped position, compared with the prone position in the previous study.","MVT function, describing the MVT angle velocity relationship.","Extra padding to secure the foot into the ankle unit was thereby minimized, the foot was easily stabilized, and pressure from the strapping was modified to accommodate bunions and hammer toes.","Also, the stability of the scapula enables the rotator cuff muscles to be maximally activated.","Concentric and Eccentric: Muscle Contraction or Exercise?","Marinovich training systems and the ball work, and I think that sensation and picking up sensation is so critically undervalued and your article was on redeeming proprioception.","So, there is that component as well, right?","Hongshi Huang, Jianqiao Guo, Yanfang Jiang, Yuanyuan Yu.","The primary aim of this study was to compare explosive torque production during concentric, eccentric and isometric contractions, and examine the neural and peripheral limitations to explosive torque production in these different contractile conditions.","The purpose maximal isometric contractions at different knee joint angles."]
