Quantifying muscle patterns and spine load during various forms of the push-up
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to quantify the normalized amplitudes of the abdominal wall and back extensor musculature during a variety of push-up styles. Results revealed that more dynamic push-ups required more muscle activation and higher spine load, whereas placing labile balls under the hands only resulted in modest increase in spine load.

Optimal loading for maximal power output during lower-body resistance exercises
Article Abstract:
The influence of various loads on power output in the jump squat (JS), squat (S), and power clean (PC) is investigated to determine the load that maximizes power output in each lift. This study indicates that the optimal load for maximal power output occurs at various percentages of one-repetition maximums (1RM) in the JS, S, and PC.

The isometric torque at which knee-extensor muscle reoxygenation stops
Article Abstract:
A study examines the knee-extensor torque at which reoxygenation during an isometric contraction stops and whether it depends on maximal torque capacity (MTC). An analysis reveals the absence of any significant relation between MTC and the torque at which the muscle reoxygenation stops.
