Power Loading-Induced Fatigue is Influenced by Menstrual Cycle Phase
2022
Purpose To examine the effects of fatiguing power-loading on neuromuscular properties, force production, and metabolic capacities during four phases of the menstrual cycle (MC); menstruation (M), mid-follicular (mid FOL), ovulation (OV), and mid-luteal (mid LUT). Methods Sixteen eumenorrheic women performed sessions of maximal explosive leg press (2x10 at 60%1RM load with 2 min recovery between sets). Serum hormones and neuromuscular responses were measured. Results The loading protocol significantly decreased power (between -14.2% and -12.5%; p < 0.001) and maximal force production (between MVC; -15.0% and -7.8%; p < 0.001–0.05), while decreasing activation level (between AL; -6.9% and -2.…
Muscle‐tendon morphology and function following long‐term exposure to repeated and strenuous mechanical loading
2020
We mapped structural and functional characteristics of muscle‐tendon units in a population exposed to very long‐term routine overloading. Twenty‐eight military academy cadets (age: 21.00 ± 1.1 yrs; height: 176.1 ± 4.8 cm; mass: 73.8 ± 7.0 kg) exposed for over 24 months to repetitive overloading were profiled via ultrasonography with a senior subgroup of them (n = 11; age = 21.4 ± 1.0 yrs; height = 176.5 ± 4.8 cm; mass = 71.4 ± 6.6 kg) also tested while walking and marching on a treadmill. A group of eleven ethnicity‐ and aged‐matched civilians (age = 21.6 ± 0.7 yrs; height = 176.8 ± 4.3 cm; mass = 74.6 ± 5.6 kg) was also profiled and tested. Cadets and civilians exhibited similar morphology…
A post-exercise infrared sauna session improves recovery of neuromuscular performance and muscle soreness after resistance exercise training
2023
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of a single infrared sauna (IRS) session on postexercise recovery of neuromuscular performance, autonomic nervous system function, subjective sleep quality, and muscle soreness. Male basketball players (n = 16) performed two trials consisting of a complex resistance exercise protocol (maximal strength with plyometrics), followed by either 20 min passive recovery (PAS) or IRS (temperature 43±5°C), in a randomized crossover design, with trials separated by one week. Recovery of neuromuscular performance was assessed using 20 m maximal sprint, maximal countermovement-jump (CMJ), and isometric leg press tests, performed 14 hours after exercise. H…
Prevention of injuries among youth team sports : the role of decreased movement control as a risk factor
2017
Good movement control is essential in team sports that require fast-paced running, pivoting, jumping and landing. Alterations in dynamic neuromuscular control may cause significant stress on the musculoskeletal system, and increase the risk of both acute and overuse injuries. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent sports injuries, the incidence and severity of overuse injuries, and the role of decreased movement control as a risk factor for future injuries in young team sports athletes. The study methods included a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, a retrospective epidemiological investi…
Voimaharjoittelun vaikutukset dynaamiseen ja staattiseen tasapainoon nuorilla ja ikääntyneillä
2017
Tasapainolle ei ole olemassa universaalia määritelmää mutta se tiedetään, että sitä kontrolloivat useat eri mekanismit. Ikääntyminen aiheuttaa siinä heikkenemistä, joka aiheutuu muutoksista sekä sensorisissa että motorisissa prosesseissa. Kaatumisesta aiheutuneiden vammojen määrä kasvaa koko ajan ikääntyneillä. Heidän onkin havaittu pärjäävän nuoria huonommin sekä staattisissa että dynaamisissa testeissä mutta dynaamisissa testeissä ero on vieläkin suurempi. Erityisesti dynaamisten ominaisuuksin tutkiminen on tärkeää sillä staattiset testit eivät välttämättä paljasta tasapaino-ongelmia tai ikääntymiseen liittyviä eroja yhtä hyvin kuin dynaamiset testit. Tämän tutkimuksen suoritti loppuun 4 …
Modulations of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion in skill- and endurance-trained athletes
2022
Abstract Purpose Long-term sports training, such as skill and endurance training, leads to specific neuroplasticity. However, it remains unclear if muscle stretch-induced proprioceptive feedback influences corticospinal facilitation/inhibition differently between skill- and endurance-trained athletes. This study investigated modulation of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion between well-trained skill and endurance athletes. Methods Ten skill- and ten endurance-trained athletes participated in the study. Corticospinal excitability was tested by single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMS) at three different latencies following passive rapid ankl…
