1. 1. Assessment of Lower Limb Muscle Strength: Feasibility and Implementation on Exxentric’s SingleExx Machines

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Maximilian Geisler; [2023]
   Keywords : Force measurement; Lower limb strength; Symmetry assessment; Flywheel-based leg extension machine; Prototype development; Isokinetic dynamometer; Kraftmätning; Styrka i nedre extremiteterna; Symmetribedömning; Flywheel- baserad benförlängningsmaskin; Prototyputveckling; Isokinetisk dynamometer;

   Abstract : Measuring lower limb strength and symmetry is a common practice in elite sports to determine the return to sports point in time during rehabilitation, and this information could be useful for amateur athletes too. However, the devices used for this are highly sophisticated and hardly accessible. READ MORE

3. 2. Sport specific strength in alpine competitive skiing : What characterizes alpine elite skiers?

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

   Author : Mathias Moberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Alpine Skiing; biomechanics; physiology; strength training; elite athletest; alpine elite skiers;

   Abstract : Introduction: Alpine skiing has changed since the 1990s and it is unclear what sport specific strength is within modern alpine elite skiing. Purpose: The aim of this study was to create a strength profile and to investigate what sport specific strength is within alpine elite skiers. READ MORE

4. 3. Development of an exercise machine for enhanced eccentric training of the muscles : A study of sensors and system performance

   University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

   Author : Natalija Zivanovic; [2020]
   Keywords : Sensor resolution; sample time; smart exercise machine; system performance; incremental encoder; eccentric training; Sensorupplösning; samplingstid; smart träningsmaskin; systemprestanda; inkrementell pulsgivare; excentrisk träning;

   Abstract : Currently, there are various training machines that can support training of the muscles while the muscles are lengthened, also known as eccentric training. Training machines that are widely used to train the muscles eccentrically utilize a flywheel to generate load to the user. READ MORE

5. 4. The effect of a weight lifting belt and the use of valsalva maneuver on power output and velocity in a squat

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Julia Björk; [2017]
   Keywords : Linear encoder; power output; squat; strength training; valsalva maneuver; velocity; weight lifting belt; Effektutveckling; hastighet; knäböj; linear encoder; lyftarbälte; styrketräning; valsalvamanövern;

   Abstract : Background: A squat is a common exercise that is used in many areas of strength training and for different purposes and the literature is inconclusive when it comes to whether the weight lifting belt (WB) affects performance and/or is injury-preventing. The use of breathing techniques is common during heavy lifting and therefore the practice of the breathing teqnice; valsalva maneuver (VM) may be of interest to study and if this along with the WB can provide some advantages in power output and velocity.

6. 5. The weight lifting belt’s impact on power output, velocity and range of motion in a squat

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Amanda Engberg; [2017]
   Keywords : weight lifting belt; squat; ROM; power; velocity;

   Abstract : Abstract Background: Using a weight lifting belt when performing a variety of resistance exercises is becoming more and more common. The purpose of using a weight lifting belt is its supposed ability to reduce compressive forces on the lumbar spine and enhancement of athletic performance. READ MORE
