Maximal force, force/time and activation/coactivation characteristics of the neck muscles in extension and flexion in healthy men and women at differ…
2002
This study examined the force production characteristics, activation/coactivation and endurance capacity of the neck extension and flexion muscles in healthy men (n=29) and women (n=28) divided into three age groups (18–26 years, 30–37 years and 45–55 years). Force and electromyography (EMG) measurements were performed during the maximal voluntary isometric extension and flexion actions. This was followed by an endurance test (ET; 60% force level of maximal voluntary contraction sustained until exhaustion), after which the force and EMG recordings were repeated. Men were both stronger and had higher values (P<0.001) for explosive force (rate of force development, RFD) than women in both act…
Influence of various preseason training in elite youth soccer players

Aim Endurance capacity of each individual soccer player can notably influence a team’s success. The opinion about the necessity of generic endurance specific training in soccer, especially in adolescent athletes, still varies widely.
Effects of nine months resistance training on cycling economy in elderly men and women
2016
The aging process, along with the lifestyle, is associated with loses in functional capacity and independence due to factors such as decreases in muscle mass, strength, and aerobic capacity, among others. Resistance training (RT) has been shown to induce strength and muscle size gains in the elderly. Improvements in maximal endurance capacity have been shown in some studies, while others have found no change. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of RT on the cycling economy in the elderly. A group of 47 older men and women (65-75 years) participated in the study. Subjects were assigned into one of two groups: 1) a training group performing 3 months of RT focusing on l…
On-Ice and Off-Ice Fitness Profiles of Elite and U20 Male Ice Hockey Players of Two Different National Standards
2020
Vigh-Larsen, JF, Haverinen, MT, Panduro, J, Ermidis, G, Andersen, TB, Overgaard, K, Krustrup, P, Parkkari, J, Avela, J, Kyröläinen, H, and Mohr, M. On-ice and off-ice fitness profiles of elite and U20 male ice hockey players of two different national standards. J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3369-3376, 2020-Differences in body composition and performance were investigated between elite and U20 male ice hockey players of 2 different national standards. One hundred seventy-nine players were recruited from the highest Finnish (n = 82) and Danish (n = 61) national level, as well as from 1 U20 team from Finland (n = 19) and Denmark (n = 17). Body composition and countermovement jump performance (CM…
