Muscle Mechanics for Exercise Performance Enhancement
نویسنده
چکیده
Some examples are introduced to enhance exercise performance (from a single joint movement to runnlng and jumplng). There actually are numerous factors affecting exercise performance in but not limited to biomechanical, physiological, medical, and engineering aspects. In this session, I will focus on muscle mechanics that can be "manipulated" with some devices executable by a pracwioner or with the use of artificial apparatuses.

Stretch-shortening cycle: a powerful model to study normal and fatigued muscle.
Stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) in human skeletal muscle gives unique possibilities to study normal and fatigued muscle function. The in vivo force measurement systems, buckle transducer technique and optic fiber technique, have revealed that, as compared to a pure concentric action, a non-fatiguing SSC exercise demonstrates considerable performance enhancement with increased force at a given sh...
متن کاملEffect of Exercise-Induced Enhancement of the Leg-Extensor Muscle-Tendon Unit Capacities on Ambulatory Mechanics and Knee Osteoarthritis Markers in the Elderly
OBJECTIVE Leg-extensor muscle weakness could be a key component in knee joint degeneration in the elderly because it may result in altered muscular control during locomotion influencing the mechanical environment within the joint. This work aimed to examine whether an exercise-induced enhancement of the triceps surae (TS) and quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle-tendon unit (MTU) capacities would aff...
