Muscle coordination limits efficiency and power output of human limb movement under a wide range of mechanical demands.
This study investigated the influence of cycle frequency and workload on muscle coordination and the ensuing relationship with mechanical efficiency and power output of human limb movement. Eleven trained cyclists completed an array of cycle frequency (cadence)-power output conditions while excitation from 10 leg muscles and power output were recorded. Mechanical efficiency was maximized at inc...
متن کاملMuscle coordination is key to the power output and mechanical efficiency of limb movements.
The purpose of this study was to determine which features of muscle mechanics and muscle coordination affect the power output from a limb during locomotion. Eight subjects were tested while cycling at maximum exertion for 25 min on a stationary dynamometer. Cadence and load were varied to span a range of power outputs and myoelectric activity was measured from 10 muscles in the leg. Cycle-by-cy...
متن کاملHuman medial gastrocnemius force-velocity behavior shifts with locomotion speed and gait.
Humans walk and run over a wide range of speeds with remarkable efficiency. For steady locomotion, moving at different speeds requires the muscle-tendon units of the leg to modulate the amount of mechanical power the limb absorbs and outputs in each step. How individual muscles adapt their behavior to modulate limb power output has been examined using computer simulation and animal models, but ...
متن کاملRelationship between Kinetics and Kinematics Parameters of the Lunge Technique with the Strength, Explosive Power and Range of Motion of Lower Limb Muscle on Fencing Performance of Elite Foil Fencers
This study aimed to determine the role of strength, expulsive power and range of motion of lower limb muscle on the fencing performance of elite florists. In this study, eight elite fencers’ participated. Kinetic variables measured using force plate and kinematic variable measured using motion analysis system. The squat jump test used to measure the compulsive power of the lower extremity muscl...
متن کاملA Kinetic Based Analysis of the Lower Limb’ Joints with Increasing Running Speed
Purpose: Due to the paucity of the information regarding the lower limb biomechanics in slow speeds running as well as concentration of the majority of previous studies in a single movement plane, aim of the present study was investigation on a kinetic based analysis of lower limb’ joints with increasing running speed. Methods: 28 runners asked to stay on the belt speed of treadmill that was ...
