Feasibility of the 2-point method for determining the 1-repetition maximum in the bench press exercise
(Human Kinetics, 2018-04)
Purpose: This study compared the concurrent validity and reliability of previously proposed generalized group equations for estimating the bench press (BP) 1-repetition maximum (1RM) with the individualized load–velocity ...
Fitness level modulates intraocular pressure responses to strength exercises
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Purpose/Aim: The execution of strength exercises has demonstrated to increase the intraocular pressure (IOP) levels, and it may have a negative impact on the ocular health. We aimed to explore the influence of fitness level ...
Prediction of the maximum number of repetitions and repetitions in reserve from barbell velocity
(Human Kinetics, 2018-03)
Purpose: To provide 2 general equations to estimate the maximum possible number of repetitions (XRM) from the mean velocity (MV) of the barbell and the MV associated with a given number of repetitions in reserve, as well ...
Strength, affect regulation, and subcortical morphology in military pilots
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018-04)
Introduction
Previous studies have shown links of body composition and fitness measures with brain structure, as well as with different aspects of emotional adjustment and well-being. However, the possible role of trait ...
Effect of different velocity loss thresholds during a power-oriented resistance training program on the mechanical capacities of lower-body muscles
(Routledge, 2018)
This study compared the effects of two velocity loss thresholds during a power-oriented resistance training program on the mechanical capacities of lower-body muscles. Twenty men were counterbalanced in two groups (VL10 ...
Differences in the load–velocity profile between 4 bench-press variants
(Human Kinetics, 2018-03)
Purpose: To compare the load–velocity relationship between 4 variants of the bench-press (BP) exercise. Methods: The full load–velocity relationship of 30 men was evaluated by means of an incremental loading test starting ...
Muscular strength is associated with higher intraocular pressure in physically active males
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018-02)
SIGNIFICANCE
The positive association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and relative maximum force may have relevance for exercise recommendations when IOP is a concern.
PURPOSE
The relationship between exercise and ...
Optimal resistive forces for maximizing the reliability of leg muscles’ capacities tested on a cycle ergometer
(Human Kinetics, 2018-02)
This study determined the optimal resistive forces for testing muscle capacities through the standard cycle ergometer test (1 resistive force applied) and a recently developed 2-point method (2 resistive forces used for ...
Selective effects of different fatigue protocols on the function of upper body muscles assessed through the force–velocity relationship
(Springer, 2018-02)
Purpose
This study explored the feasibility of the force–velocity relationship (F–V) to detect the acute effects of different fatigue protocols on the selective changes of the maximal capacities of upper body muscles to ...
Selective changes in the mechanical capacities of lower-body muscles after cycle-ergometer sprint training against heavy and light resistances
(Human Kinetics, 2018-03)
Purpose: To explore the feasibility of the linear force–velocity (F–V) modeling approach to detect selective changes of F–V parameters (ie, maximum force [F0], maximum velocity [V0], F–V slope [a], and maximum power [P0]) ...
