  • Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

    Creator:
    Kiff, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

  • Relationship between rate of torque development and contractile impulse in three muscle groups

    Creator:
    Wright, Jaime M.
    Abstract:
    Background: The capability of an individual to produce force rapidly is important for performance of sporting activities and to stabilize a joint to protect against injury. Rate of torque development (RTD) and contractile impulse (CI) may be more effective than peak torque in assessing rapid torque production. The relationship between...

  • The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

    Creator:
    Asplund, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...
