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. Preferred leg and strength asymmetries : A cross sectional study comparing perceived and measured laterality

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för rörelse, kultur och samhälle

   Author : Kung Anna Emelie Persson; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the degree of self-perceived leg preference and the degree of strength asymmetries in well-trained adults. Method: All tests took place during two separate days at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. Preferred and non-preferred leg was examined via questionnaires. READ MORE

5. 4. Correlation between muscle strength and aerobic capacity from age 34 to 63, both cross- sectionally and in terms of longitudinal changes within a cohort of Swedish men and women.

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

   Author : Pavel Cassius; [2022]
   Keywords : muscle strength; aerobic capacity; cardiorespiratory fitness; longitudinal; aging;

   Abstract : Background: The proportion of elderly in the population is increasing globally. Aerobic capacity (AC) and muscle strength (MS) are important factors for health and quality of life. AC as well as MS decrease with higher age. READ MORE

6. 5. Identification of Potential Sources of Measurement Errors in an Isokinetic Dynamometer : Reliability Analysis of Shoulder Abduction and Flexion Data

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Malena Grannerud; [2022]
   Keywords : Isokinetic dynamometer; shoulder abduction; shoulder flexion; rotator cuff; torque; load; force; repeatability; reproducibility; reliability; agreement; ICC; intraclass correlation coefficient; Bland Altman; Isokinetisk dynamometer; axelabduktion; axelflexion; rotatorcuff; vridmoment; last; kraft; repeterbarhet; reproducerbarhet; tillförlitlighet; överensstämmelse; ICC; intraklass korrelationskoefficient; Bland Altman;

   Abstract : The evaluation of shoulder abduction and flexion strength is important in the rehabilitation after rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this work is to assess the intra and inter-rater reliability of measurement data from an isokinetic dynamometer used to evaluate shoulder abduction and flexion strength, with the aim to identify sources of measurement errors and suggest improvements.
