Comparison of abshaper and conventionally performed abdominal exercises using surface electromyography

Article Abstract:

This research study assesses the differences between the methods in the training of the abdominal musculature in subjects performing abdominal exercises using Abshaper equipment and conventional methods. Results indicate that Abshaper is more beneficial than conventionally performed exercises in improving abdominal musculature and reducing neck and back pain.

Neuromuscular characteristics and muscle power as determinants of 5-km running performance

Article Abstract:

Neuromuscular characteristics and maximal velocity while running are related in well trained endurance athletes. Male athletes were tested on an indoor 5 km track and a treadmill running at a constant velocity, and their oxygen intake and peak performance were measured. Maximal velocity during such tests can measure muscle power in endurance athletes.

Neuromuscular fatigue during sustained contractions performed in short-term hypoxia

Article Abstract:

A study to examine neuromuscular fatigue in acute hypoxia is presented. The results concluded that neuromuscular adaptations to sustained contractions are essentially the same even if in a normal environment or in acute hypoxia.
