  2. 6. Acute and early chronic responses to resistance exercise using flywheel or weights

    Author : Lena Norrbrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Weight training typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, skeletal muscle inherently has the capability to produce greater force in the eccentric compared with the concentric action, which allows for greater loading during the eccentric action, i.

    Abstract : Resistance exercise using weights typically offers constant external load during coupled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) muscle actions in sets of consecutive repetitions until failure. However, the constant external load and the inherent capability of skeletal muscle to produce greater force in the eccentric compared with the concentric action, would infer that most actions are executed with incomplete motor unit involvement.

  6. 9. Post-polio syndrome : physiotherapeutic analysis and interventions

    Author : Katarina Skough; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Post-polio syndrome;

    Abstract : This thesis presents four studies focusing on outcomes of gait performance using gait analysis and/or the Six-minute-walk test (6MWT), in patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS). Further, resistance training in combination with Coenzyme Q10 (Q10) and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment (IvIg) in PPS patients was evaluated. READ MORE
