Although high resistance is created within a wide motion area and requires isokinetic training by controlling the velocity of the trainee's legs, the ERIK has the advantage of a high level of safety because of its passive resistive function....
(MI) score < 3 – any method of strength training, including exercises performed with the distal segment free, may be of value. There is some theoretical support for the view that, in this situation, any exercise that stimulates muscle activation and requires the muscle to work eccentrically,...
This form of exercise is most frequently performed by high-level athletes and requires specialized equipment not typically found in hand therapy clinics. Clients who place extreme demands on the wrist joint (such as professional athletes, gymnasts, or musicians) may benefit from this form of ...
A possible explanation is that eccentric testing requires more exten- sive familiarization, as it may be more difficult for partici- pants to produce maximal eccentric strength throughout the entire ROM [17]. Adding extra trial repetitions could have resulted in less variation in the values during...
Any substantial modification to the protocol requires the opinion of the ethics committee. In the event of a protocol change, the sponsor and funder will be notified first, then the principal investigator at each centre, and a copy of the revised protocol will be sent to be added to the in...
(Noorkoiv et al., 2010) in vastus lateralis, allows one to track the path of fascicles and aponeuroses through the entire muscle length with high reliability, avoiding any extrapolation but cannot be applied in dynamic conditions because it requires performing multiple scans along the muscle to...
Investigation of the potential application of eccentric training as prevention of Achilles tendinopathy requires further research. References Alfredson, H. et al. Am J Sport Med. 1998;26(3):360–366 Jarvinen, TA. et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2005;10(2):255–266 Malliaras, P. et al. Sports ...
accelerate a particular weight in a freer and more controlled pattern than a weaker individual; however, this also requires looking closely at substitution and requirement of synchronous action before automatically accepting the performance of the stronger individual as being adequate. Inherent in the ...
With respect to sports, U.S. Pat. No. 2,134,451 shows the use of a baseball bat or a tennis racket attached to a weight hanging from a pulley system. Muscles are exercised to the extent that movement of the bat or racket in one direction requires a force equivalent to lifting the ...
