‘Nordic’ Hamstrings Exercise – Engagement Characteristics and Training Responses

Metabolic responses to supramaximal exercise and training:

Effect of endurance training and cinnamon supplementation on post-exercise oxidative responses in rats

Despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. The present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (CBE) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. The rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...

Acute and Chronic Testosterone Responses to Physical Exercise and Training

Regional differences in muscle activation during hamstrings exercise.

It is believed that regional activation within a muscle may lead to greater site-specific muscular adaptations in the activated portion of the muscle. Because the hamstrings are a biarticular muscle, it can be theorized that single-joint exercises where movement originates at the hip vs. the knee will result in differential activation of the muscle complex. The purpose of the present study was ...
