However, names aside, runner’s knee can be a big problem that can stick around for a long time if left unmanaged.Known formally as patellofemoral pain syndrome, runner’s knee presents as a pain where ...

WWE women's wrestling star Zoey Stark wrote a post following her devastating knee injury she suffered during a crucial match on "Monday Night Raw." ...

Conclusions The onset of VMO–VL activity in response to rapid destabilising perturbations is altered immediately after eccentric exercise and during eccentric exercise-induced muscle soreness up to 48 ...

The hamstrings assist in knee flexion and contribute to hip extension, which helps optimize takeoff mechanics. This rapid sequence of active muscle lengthening (eccentric) immediately followed by ...

In a recent study 17 in which we applied eccentric isokinetic training of the quadriceps muscles to subjects who had undergone ACL reconstruction, the knee extensor torque and flexion/extension range ...

One way to modify the focus of leg extensions is by adjusting toe positioning. Pointing the toes outward places greater ...

Peak muscle strength was assessed with functional electromechanical dynamometry (FEMD) for the knee muscles with the following movements: knee flexion (FLE) and extension (EXT). Each movement was ...

Introduction Patellar tendinopathy (PT) rehabilitation programmes frequently incorporate eccentric exercise (EE), where participants have limited control over the range of motion, speed, force ...

Results Significant improvements were observed in vertical jump height, reactive strength index, isometric knee extension, and eccentric knee flexion strength (P<0.001).

Tight quads are pretty normal after a run. But if they’re keeping you from upping your game, follow this advice for prevention and treatment.

The aim of this paper was twofold: first, to propose signal processing methods for assessing the spectral changes of the surface myoelectric signal due to fatigue during isokinetic concentric and ...

Eccentric training is one way to get big results in your strength training routine without a lot of extra effort. Here's what it is, and exercises to get started.
