  • The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

    Creator:
    Kitagawa, Taichi
    Abstract:
    The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

  • Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

    Creator:
    Dinger, Melanie
    Abstract:
    Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...

  • Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

    Creator:
    Stone, Clara A.
    Abstract:
    The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...
