Strength and endurance of knee extensors in subjects after paralytic poliomyelitis

Abstract

Endurance of knee extensor muscles in post-polio subjects is generally and significantly lower than that of knee extensors in healthy subjects, regardless of the implication of normal strength and subjective observations of post-polio subjects.

The neuromechanical functional contractile properties of the thigh muscles measured using tensiomyography in male athletes and non-athletes

“…Тензиомиографија је до сада примењивана у процени замора мишића (Garcia-Manso et al, 2011;2012), процени типа мишићних влакана (Dahmane, Djordjevič, Šimunič, & Valenčič, 2005;Šimunič et al, 2011), процени оштећења миши-ћа насталих под утицајем физичких активности (Hunter et al, 2012), превенцији повреда (Dias, Fort, Marinho, Santos, & Marques, 2010;, процењивању мишићне атро-фије (Pišot et al, 2008), код патолошких стања (Grabljevec, Burger, Kerševan, Valencic, & Marincek, 2005;Rusu, Calina, Avramescu, Paun, & Vasilescu, 2009), као и за мерење датих карактеристика код деце (Pišot et al, 2004). Тензиомиографија је учестало примењивана и у спорту и то код фуд-балера (Rey, Lago-Peñas, & Lago-Ballesteros, 2012;Rusu et al, 2013;Alvarez-Diaz et al, 2014), одбој-каша (Rodriguez-Ruiz et al, 2014Dopsaj, Ivanovic, & Ćopić, 2014), триатлонаца (Garcia-Manso et al, 2011), бициклиста (García-García, Cancela-Carral, Martínez-Trigo, & Serrano-Gómez, 2013), кајака-шица (García-García, Cancela-Carral, & Huelin--Trillo, 2015 као и код професионалних плесача (Zagorc, Šimunič, Pišot, & Oreb, 2010).…”

Effectiveness of low-frequency vibration recovery method on blood lactate removal, muscle contractile properties and on time to exhaustion during cycling at VO2max power output

“…However, muscle contractile properties during or after fatiguing exercise remain unclear, mainly due to a lack of an adequate assay system. In the last few years, measurements of contraction time by tensiomyography (TMG) have been successfully implemented on different muscle groups (Valencic and Knez 1997) to investigate endurance and fatigue among other muscular responses (Grabljevec et al 2005;Krizaj et al 2008). By using TMG, fatigued muscle responses as well as the effects of different recovery methods on muscle contractile properties could be tested.…”

Comparison of tensiomyographic neuromuscular characteristics between muscles of the dominant and non-dominant lower extremity in male soccer players

“…The purpose of this study was to compare the TMG neuromuscular characteristics between the dominant and non-dominant lower extremity in male soccer players. Methods Thirty-eight consecutive healthy male soccer players underwent resting TMG assessment of vastus been employed to assess the neuromuscular characteristics of skeletal muscles in a variety of populations and diseases: young healthy subjects [6,7,11,15,20,25,26], peripheral artery disease [13], diabetic polyneuropathy [23], paralytic poliomyelitis [14], multiple sclerosis [19], and athletes [9,12].…”
