Lower Extremity Loading And Subsequent Muscle Soreness Following High-Intensity Interval Training Protocols: A Pilot Study, Jared Moore, Noah Ogata, George Salem Nov 2022

Lower Extremity Loading And Subsequent Muscle Soreness Following High-Intensity Interval Training Protocols: A Pilot Study, Jared Moore, Noah Ogata, George Salem

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a popular form of exercise that is being performed by the general population as well as athletes. There is little work into how the lower extremity loading within HIIT protocols differs among various exercise modalities and the effects these differences may have on resulting muscle soreness. PURPOSE: The purpose of this pilot study was to characterize lower extremity vertical reaction forces (vRF) during treadmill running and cycling HIIT protocols in young, healthy adults and to explore the relations of the vRF with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). METHODS: Participants completed a heart rate …


The Role Of Rate Of Force Development On Vertical Jump Performance, Christopher Mclellan, Dale Lovell, Gregory Gass Nov 2012

The Role Of Rate Of Force Development On Vertical Jump Performance, Christopher Mclellan, Dale Lovell, Gregory Gass

Chris McLellan

The purpose of this study was to examine a) the relationship between rate of force development (RFD) and vertical jump (VJ) performance during a counter movement jump (CMJ), and b) the reliability of RFD recorded during the CMJ and squat jump (SJ) forms of the VJ. Twenty-three physically active men aged 23 ± 3.9 years participated in the study. Subjects completed 3 unloaded CMJ and 3 unloaded SJ in random order on a force plate. The RFD was measured during CMJ and SJ movements with vertical jump displacement (VJD) measured simultaneously during the CMJ only. Subjects incorporated arm swing to …


A Comparison Of Asynchronous And Synchronous Arm Cranking During The Wingate Test, Dale Lovell, Dale Mason, Elias Delphinus, Christopher Mclellan Oct 2012

A Comparison Of Asynchronous And Synchronous Arm Cranking During The Wingate Test, Dale Lovell, Dale Mason, Elias Delphinus, Christopher Mclellan

Chris McLellan

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare asynchronous (ASY) arm cranking (cranks at 180° relative to each other) with synchronous (SYN) arm cranking (parallel crank setting) during the 30 s Wingate anaerobic test.

Methods: Thirty-two physically active men (aged 22.1 ± 2.4 y) completed two Wingate tests (one ASY and one SYN) separated by 4 d in a randomized counterbalanced order. The Wingate tests were completed on a modified electromagnetically braked cycle ergometer. Performance measures assessed during the two tests include peak power, mean power, minimum power, time to peak power, rate to fatigue and maximum …
