Download or read book The Effects of a Seven week Isokinetic Training Program on Eccentric Strength Development written by Diane McCurry and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of a 7 wk eccentric isokinetic training program (60 degrees/sec) on peak torque (PT), total work (TW)and peak torque/body weight (PT/BW) of the knee extensors. Thirty-one men and women from the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse physical education and physical therapy classes participated in the study. Ss were tested for strength on the KIN-COM at 60 degrees/sec and 180 degrees/ sec, pre and post a 7 wk training program. The experimental group (20 Ss)performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions of eccentric knee extensions at 60 degree/sec 3 times a wk for 7 wks. The control group consisted of 11 Ss. A t-test for independent samples of mean differences between the 2 groups was done ti determine if the training program would cause a significant increase in strength at both slow and fast velocities.

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 The Effects of Eccentric Training on Strength and Muscle Development in Pre pubertal and Pubertal Boys

Download or read book The Effects of Eccentric Training on Strength and Muscle Development in Pre pubertal and Pubertal Boys written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now generally accepted that strength training in pubertal children will increase strength, but it is unlikely to induce morphological changes. However research in this area is limited as most studies fail to control for the confounding effects of normal growth, or employ appropriate training programs. To overcome these limitations it is suggested that researchers should use a within-subject design employing an exercise regime of sufficient intensity. In adults, eccentric training has been shown to have the greatest effect on hypertrophy and strength. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of eccentric training on muscle strength and development in children, using a one arm training model. Seventeen boys in grades 6, 7, and 8 participated in an eight week eccentric elbow flexion training program; three training sessions per week. The program consisted of 2 5 sets of 6 10 reps using progressive resistance. Pre and post test strength (Eccentric and concentric elbow flexion maximal strength by a Biodex System 3 Dynamometer and 1 RM with dumbbells) and bicep thickness measurements were performed. The change in biceps thickness was significantly greater in the training arm versus the non-training arm (7.3 +/- 8.3% vs. 0.7 +/- 7.5%) (p0.05). No significant difference was found for isokinetic concentric strength gain between arms (p0.05), but isokinetic eccentric strength gain in the training arm was significantly greater than the non-training arm (25.4 +/- 16.6% vs. 2.4% +/- 15.6%) (p

Book Oxford Textbook of Neurorehabilitation

Download or read book Oxford Textbook of Neurorehabilitation written by Volker Dietz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurorehabilitation is an expanding field with an increasing clinical impact due to an ageing population. During the last 20 years, neurorehabilitation has developed from a discipline with little scientific background, separated from other medical centers, to a medical entity largely based on the principles of 'evidenced based medicine' with strong ties to basic research and clinical neurology. Today neurorehabilitation is still a work in progress and treatment standards are not yet established for all aspects of the field. There are very few books that address contemporary neurorehabilitation from this perspective. This new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurorehabilitation provides an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the subject as well as a clear perspective on how (and why) to approach treatment decisions on an individualized basis. The book has been thoroughly updated to reflect novel important developments in the field and includes new chapters on vocational rehabilitation, self-management strategies in neurorehabilitation, and music supported therapy in neurorehabilitation. This indispensable book will be of great interest to rehabilitation physicians, neurologists, and allied health care professionals who look after patients requiring neurorehabilitation.
