Book A Comparison of Hypertrophy  Strength and Power Changes Between Eccentric Isotonic and Eccentric Isokinetic Leg Training

Download or read book A Comparison of Hypertrophy Strength and Power Changes Between Eccentric Isotonic and Eccentric Isokinetic Leg Training written by Gail M. Trojack and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of 6 week eccentric isotonic and eccentric isokinetic training programs on hypertrophy, strength and power development in the quadriceps were compared. Male Ss (N=22) participated including 7 training isotonically (T), 7 training isokinetically (K), and 8 control subjects performing no resistance leg training (C). Ss performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with an additional set on Friday to systematically adjust work load. No group significantly increased thigh girth or body weight. Both groups exhibited carryover of concentric strength from eccentric training in certain tests. (T) improved significantly over (C) in isotonic concentric one repetition maximum, 5 second isometric, and both Margaria Kalaman power tests. (T) improved significantly over (K) in the concentric isotonic one repetition maximum as well. (K) improved significantly over (C) in average concentric peak torque (170°/second) and in the Margaria Kalaman power test at 6 meters. Both groups exhibited carryover of strength when tested at fast speeds from slow speed training programs (60°/second). (T) improved significantly over (C) in average eccentric peak torque (170°/second) and the Margaria Kalaman tests of power. (K) significantly improved over (C) in average concentric peak torque (170°/second), eccentric total work (170°/second) and the Margaria Kalaman power test at 6 meters. Both groups significantly improved over (C) in eccentric isotonic one repetition maximums. Only (K) significantly increased average eccentric peak torque at 60° /second over (C).

Book An Experimental Investigation of Isokinetic Eccentric Versus Isotonic Eccentric Training on Torque  Work and Power Changes for Knee Extension

Download or read book An Experimental Investigation of Isokinetic Eccentric Versus Isotonic Eccentric Training on Torque Work and Power Changes for Knee Extension written by Ashraf G. Veldekens and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of isokinetic eccentric muscle training activities in comparison with isotonic eccentric muscle training activities of the quadriceps muscle for knee extension (torque, work, and power). Forty-five healthy female volunteer subjects between the ages of 22 and 64 were recruited for this training study. the null hypotheses were that there would be no difference between the control, isotonic and isokenetic groups and no difference in the baseline to post training sessions. All subjects had an orthopaedic screening of their lower extremities. In a test/retest experimental design, the right quadriceps muscle groups of each subject was tested in the isokinetic mode with an eccentric/extension contraction. Subjects were divided into three groups--Eccentric Isotonic (ET), Eccentric Isokinetic (EK), and the Control (C). the EK training included 5 eccentric knee extension and flexion contractions on the BioDex Unit at the speeds of 60, 60, 75 and 75 degrees per second. Five repetitions were done with a 10 second rest. the ET group was exercised in the isotonic mode on the BioDex. the ET performed twenty eccentric exercise repetitions at each training session. the resistance load was adjusted for each subject through the training interval to assure isometric maximal quadriceps loading (in extension) for twenty repetitions. Twenty-four training sessions were performed at the same time of day for both groups. the control group was not trained. Subject performance data on peak torgue (PT) and total work (TW) was collected on the computer system using SYSTAT. A two-way ANOVA was used to determine the effect of group on peak torque and total work. Statistically the results showed that no significant differences existed between the isokinetic eccentric and the isotonic eccentric training for knee extension. Power using a vertical jump test after training was not significant either. An ANCOVA analysis was performed with pretraining measurements of torque as the co-variable. Although there were no significant differences from any of the dependent variables, there was a slight trend for improvement in isokinetic eccentric training, primarily in the variable of total work.

Book Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy

Download or read book Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy written by Brad J. Schoenfeld and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscle hypertrophy—defined as an increase in muscular size—is one of the primary outcomes of resistance training. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused on muscle hypertrophy. Readers will find up-to-date content so they fully understand the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to designing training programs. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, a leading authority on muscle hypertrophy, this text provides strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors with a definitive resource for information regarding muscle hypertrophy—the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and current nutrition guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers: • Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date. • Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development. • Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s utility as a reference tool. • An image bank containing most of the art, photos, and tables from the text allows instructors and presenters to easily teach the material outlined in the book. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this text allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy in their athletes and clients. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs in the text show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for strength and conditioning professionals seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains and those searching for the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current research in the field.
