Could inter-set stretching increase acute neuromuscular and metabolic responses during resistance exercise?

Neuromuscular and Metabolic Responses to Three Different Resistance Exercise Methods

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effect of resistance exercise with three different methods on integrated electromyography (IEMG) and metabolic responses in recreational athletes. METHODS Twenty four males (mean 23.59±0.87 years) were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. Participants performed knee extension exercises: Slow (SL: 3-3, 3s for each concentric and eccen...

Variation in neuromuscular responses during acute whole-body vibration exercise.

PURPOSE Leg muscle strength and power are increased after whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise. These effects may result from increased neuromuscular activation during WBV; however, previous studies of neuromuscular responses during WBV have not accounted for motion artifact. METHODS Sixteen healthy adults performed a series of static and dynamic unloaded squats with and without two different ...

Comparison of Acute Hormonal Responses between Resistance, Endurance and Endurance-Resistance Exercise in Healthy Young Men

Introduction: This research was aimed at examining acute responses of hormones such as growth hormone (GH), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), free fatty acid (FFA) and cortisol to resistance (R), endurance (E) and endurance-resistance (ER) exercise. Methods: The participants of this study were 10 healthy young men. R protocol included bench press, lateral pull down, leg exten...

Acute Neuromuscular and Hormonal Responses to Resistance Exercise Using Variable External Resistance Loading (Nautilus Machine versus Elastic Resistance)

Lactate Kinetics during Multiple Set Resistance Exercise.

Intensive exercise like strength training increases blood lactate concentration [La]. [La] is commonly used to define the metabolic stress of an exercise and depends on the lactate production, transportation, metabolism, and elimination. This investigation compared multiple set training of different volumes to show the influence of exercise volume on [La]. Ten male subjects performed 3 sets of ...
