Acute effects of static stretching on characteristics of the isokinetic angle-torque relationship, surface electromyography

Article Abstract:

The acute effects of static stretching on peak torque, work, the joint angle at peak torque, acceleration time, isokinetic range of motion, mechanomyographic amplitude and electromyographic amplitude of the rectus femoris during maximum isokinetic leg extensions at 1.04 and 5.23 rad.per second are studied on women with an average age of 23 years and in men with the average age of 21 years. The findings show that the static stretching may reduce peak strength and produce a greater force at other joint angles.

Cardiorespiratory outcome after corrective surgery for pectus excavatum: a case study

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the effect of pectus excavatum before and after surgical correction on ventilatory and cardiorespiratory responses to submaximal and maximal exercise is conducted. The results indicate increase in FEV (sub 1), maximum voluntary ventilation, maximum power output, VO (sub 2max), metabolic threshold, oxygen-pulse and maximum tidal volume, six months after corrective surgery.

Validity of VO(sub2max) equations for aerobically trained males and females

Article Abstract:

Cross-validate existing VO(sub 2max) prediction equations on samples of aerobically trained males and females are investigated. The result indicates that two equations using age, body weight and the power output achieved at VO(sub 2) values and are recommended for estimating VO(sub 2max) in aerobically trained males and females.
