Muscle control in elite alpine skiing

Article Abstract:

Eccentric rather than concentric muscle actions are present in super G, giant slalom, and slalom skiing. Freestyle mogul skiing involved no such muscle activities but a larger range of knee-angle movements than the other skiing techniques. The biomechanics of freestyle skiing are similar to a running stride. Sport-specific training should be based on the physiological demands of each discipline.

Quadriceps EMG/force relationship in knee extension and leg press

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that knee extension and leg press models exhibit similar force increments among muscles. Data further show a nonuniform recruitment pattern in the three superficial QF muscles and vastus lateralis electromyographic surface recordings that predict reliable force output.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not affect recovery from delayed onset muscle soreness

Article Abstract:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been found not to affect recovery from delayed-onset muscle soreness induced by exercise. It is not an effective treatment.
