Neuromuscular Differences Between Endurance-Trained, Power-Trained, and Sedentary Subjects

2003

This study tested the hypothesis that neuromuscular characteristics of plantar flexor (PF) and knee extensor (KE) muscles explain differences of both performance in vertical jump and maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) between endurance-trained (END, n = 9), power-trained (POW, n = 8), and sedentary subjects (SED, n = 8). Evoked twitch characteristics of PF and KE were measured. MVC, maximal voluntary activation (%VA) of KE, and performance in vertical jump were also measured. POW have higher maximal rate of twitch force development (MRFD) than SED and END for both PF (p < 0.05) and KE (p < 0.01); %VA and MVC were higher for POW and END than SED (p < 0.01). Higher performances wer…

Fatigue and Recovery After High-Intensity Exercise Part II: Recovery Interventions

2004

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of three types of recovery intervention to neuromuscular function after high-intensity uphill running exercise. The 20-min recovery interventions were (i) passive, (ii) active (running at 50 % of maximal aerobic speed), and (iii) low-frequency electromyostimulation. Evoked twitch and maximal voluntary contractions of knee extensor muscles (KE) and EMG of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis were analysed immediately after the exercise, 10 min after the end of the recovery periods, and 65 min after the exercise (Post65). An all-out running test was also performed 80 min after the end of the fatiguing exercise. No significant differenc…
