Low-intensity cycling affects the muscle activation pattern of consequent countermovement jumps.

30 Jul 2009 Players (eg, basketball, soccer, and football) often use a static bicycle during a game to maintain warming. However, the effectiveness of this procedure has not been addressed in the literature. Thus, it remains unknown whether low-intensity ... Read more...

Comparison of electromyographic responses for the superficial quadriceps muscles: cycle versus knee-extensor ergometry.

30 May 2009 The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyographic (EMG) amplitude and mean power frequency (MPF) versus power output relationships for the three superficial quadriceps muscles during incremental cycle (CE) and knee-extensor (KE) ... Read more...

Comparison of mechanomyographic amplitude and mean power frequency for the rectus femoris muscle: cycle versus knee-extensor ergometry.

4 May 2009 The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanomyographic (MMG) amplitude and mean power frequency (MPF) versus power output relationships for the rectus femoris (RF) muscle during incremental cycle (CE) and knee-extensor (KE) ergometry in the ... Read more...
