The effect of post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) induced in the pectoralis and triceps brachii muscles by high-frequency submaximal percutaneous electrical stimulation (PES) on average and maximal power attained in bench press throwing was measured in 12 healthy men. Three PES regimens were used: (a) a 7-second and (b) a 10-second trial at 100 Hz, and (c) an intermittent trial with 8 1-second tetanic trains at 100 Hz with rest periods of 20 seconds. Only nonsignificant (p > 0.05) increase was observed in average power at 8 minutes and in maximal power at 5, 8, and 11 minutes after tetanus after 7-second trial, and in maximal power at 5 and 8 minutes after tetanus after an intermittent trial. These data indicate that PES application was a noneffective stimulus for increased bench press performance. A great interindividual variability response was observed and, therefore, PTP induction for improving upper-body muscle performance needs further experiments.

This investigation evaluated validity and reliability of the HUMAC360 linear position transducer (LPT) compared to the Tendo Sport Weightlifting Analyzer (TENDO) for measuring mean velocity (MV), peak velocity (PV), and displacement (D) during the bench press. Seventeen recreationally active individuals completed three visits. During visit one, participants were assessed for their one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press.

Introduction: Sedentary behaviour among individuals with intellectual disabilities, driven by barriers such as limited access to adapted programs and low self-efficacy, contributes to chronic health conditions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Valemee Visual System (VVS), a novel tool offering visual support and structured exercise programming, in improving physical fitness and promoting exercise independence in this population.
Methods: A repeated measures design was employed with an 8-week intervention involving 22 participants aged 22-44 with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities.
