Effect of static and ballistic stretching on the muscle-tendon tissue properties

Article Abstract:

Studies are conducted to examine whether static- and ballistic-stretching programs have different effects on passive resistive torque of the ankle joint and tendon stiffness. Results demonstrate that static as well as ballistic stretching should be considered for the training and rehabilitation programs, as they have different effects on the muscle-tendon tissue properties.

Bilateral deficit of voluntary quadriceps muscle activation after unilateral ACL tear

Article Abstract:

Research reveals that patients with symptomatic, isolated and chronic ACL deficiency have a slight decrease in voluntary quadricep activation and this hindrance affects both the injured and uninjured side to the same degree. Results are based on a study of 22 males with ACL deficiency and 19 healthy males.

Performance of plantar flexor muscles with eccentric and isometric contractions in intact rats

Article Abstract:

Repetitive eccentric muscle contractions decrease isometric torque more than repetitive isometric contractions. This was the conclusion of researchers who measured changes in performance of rat plantar flexor muscles during stretching at two angular velocities.
