  1. 1. Comparison of muscle oxygen kinetics between occluded and non-occluded dynamic low-intensity exercise performed till failure : A quantitative study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

    Author : Natalie Smith; Josefine Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : venous occlusion; muscle oxygenation kinetics; blood flow restricted exercise; ischemia; exercise failure; low-intensity strength training; Near-infrared spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Aim: To examine local muscle oxygen kinetics when performing wrist extensions till failure in an occluded versus non-occluded state, to compare the perceived ratings of pain and local muscle exertion, and analysing presence of gender differences. Methods: Twenty-one healthy individuals (mean age 25,6±3. READ MORE

  3. 2. Oral contraceptive phases and performance : Strength, anaerobic capacity, and lactate responce

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Isa Rönneblad; Elsa Ohrås; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; oral contraceptive; contraception; Wingate; IMTP; anaerobic capacity; strength; percieved energy level; lactate; prestation; p-piller; preventionsmedel; anaerob förmåga; styrka; upplevd energinivå; laktat;

    Abstract : Background: Oral contraceptives are common among female athletes. Still, its effects on athletic performance are poorly investigated. Research in the area has increased in recent years. However, the study qualities and designs are often insufficient and with small sample sizes. READ MORE

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för idrottsvetenskap (ID)

    Author : Jesper Schiller; [2023]
    Keywords : : Consistency; neuromuscular fatigue; power; strength; test-retest reliability; within session reliability and vertical jump.; Inom sessions reliabilitet; neuromuskulär utmattning; pålitlighet; spänst; styrka; test-retest reliabilitet och vertikalhopp.;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction In order to evaluate aerobic, power and strength abilities coaches typically has performed all the physical tests at the same testing session. Today there is a lack of instruments tested for reliability in that kind of setting. READ MORE

  5. 4. Associations Between Fat Free Mass Percentage and Relative Force Production in Two Strength Tests

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Stefan Gerenmark; Viktor Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fat free mass; Strength; Association; Hypertrophy; Body composition; Strength test; IMTP; Grip strength; Muscle mass; Force production; Exercise physiology; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Background: Knowledge of the relationship between fat free mass (FFM) and strength capacity is not only useful in athlete coaching, but may also be important in developing clinical strategies for evaluating health in general populations. Sufficient skeletal muscle mass and strength are important factors for health and physical function. READ MORE

  6. 5. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oskar Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroengineering; Statistics; Biomedical Signal Processing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-DOF isometric forces outputs from fingers and the wrist.
