Isokinetic strength and endurance and muscle fiber type of elite oarswomen.

Knee extension (KE) and elbow flexion (EF) isokinetic strength (at angular velocities of 0, 1.05, 2.09, 3.

The relationship of forearm flexion isometric strength, endurance, and fiber composition; and the effect of heating.

Forearm flexion isometric strength and endurance and fiber composition of the biceps brachii were examined in ten college-age men. The isometric endurance exercise regimens were assessed at room temperature and in a heated water bath at 45 degrees C. On each session four baseline isometric strength trials (MVCs) were measured followed by three isometric endurance bouts with 11 min rest between bouts.

Volar Plate Injuries.

In brief The common "jammed finger" occurs at the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint and is too often minimized by the coach and player and inadequately treated by the physician. Unless appropriately diagnosed and treated, volar plate injuries at that joint may result in permanent limitation of motion. The volar plate can be injured when the athlete misses a Frisbee throw or a basketball pass, because these activities force hyperextension of the PIP joint and tear the volar plate away from its insertion.

Isokinetic strength, endurance, and fiber type composition in elite American paddlers.

Muscle fiber type and isokinetic strength and fatigue were examined in nine highly trained canoe and kayak paddlers. Needle biopsies were taken from the right vastus lateralis and biceps brachii muscles and the samples stained for myofibrillar ATPase. Baseline elbow flexion and knee extension isometric (0 degrees .
