Mark D. Griffiths
Background:Exercise addiction is not routinely screened for probably because available instruments take a long time to administer, their scoring may be complicated, and their interpretation is not always obvious.

Muscle soreness, swelling, stiffness and strength loss after intense eccentric exercise.British Journal of Sports Medicine - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 267-272 - 1992
Maggie J Cleak, Roger Eston
High-intensity eccentric contractions induce performance decrements and delayed onset muscle soreness. The purpose of this investigation was to study the magnitude and time course of such decrements and their interrelationships in 26 young women of mean(s.d.) age 21.4(3.3) years. Subjects performed 70 maximal eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors on a pulley system, specially designe...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of hamstring/quadriceps isokinetic strength ratios and power in tennis, squash and track athletes.British Journal of Sports Medicine - Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 178-182 - 1990
Malcolm Read, Ms Jessica Bellamy
Isokinetic assessment of elite squash, tennis and track athletes confirms the accepted ratio of 60 to 80 per cent hamstring to quadriceps when testing at 90 deg-sec-1 for peak strength (torque). However, significant variations occur at higher test speeds up to 300 deg.sec-1 with the hamstrings becoming more prominent especially (p less than 0.001) in the nonpreferred (NP) leg. There was no...... hiện toàn bộ
