The purpose of this investigation was to examine neuromuscular function, muscle fatigue, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and muscle swelling between isokinetic and isotonic leg extensions with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen (21 ± 2years; 160cm ± 3.8; 61kg ± 9.1) trained women performed 75 (1 × 30,3 × 15) submaximal (30% of maximal strength), unilateral, isokinetic and isotonic leg extensions

Effects of far-infrared radiation lamp therapy on recovery from muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise. Eur. J. Sport Sci. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-03-15 Trevor C Chen,Yuh-Chuan Huang,Tai-Ying Chou,Sheng-Tsung Hsu,Mei-Yen Chen,Kazunori Nosaka
The present study investigated the effects of a far-infrared radiation (FIR) lamp therapy on changes in muscle damage and proprioception markers after maximal eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors (EF: Study 1) and the knee flexors (KF: Study 2) in comparison to a sham treatment condition. In each study, 24 healthy sedentary women were assigned to a FIR or a sham treatment group (n = 12/group). They

Cardiac cycle timing intervals in university varsity athletes Eur. J. Sport Sci. (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-02-23 Jyotpal Singh, Chase J. Ellingson, Cody A. Ellingson, Parker Scott, J. Patrick Neary
ABSTRACT Cardiac cycle timing events in varsity athletes serve an important function for baseline assessment but are not reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to characterise the cardiac cycle timing intervals and contractility parameters in university-level varsity athletes. 152 males and 93 females were assessed using a non-invasive seismocardiography cardiac sensor attached to
