Objective: To determine if the combined isometric contractions of knee extension/hip adduction and knee extension/hip abduction will elicit a different quadriceps and gluteus medius electromyographic ...

For instance, a split-squat isometric would be used to load the tendons in the knee after anterior cruciate ... and hips at full extension. These can be done loaded or using just your body weight.

At the start of the study, subjects were systematically assigned to either a creatine or a placebo group based on quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area and maximal isometric knee-extension torque ...

Visual Analogue Scale for ‘worst pain’ and ‘pain with daily activity’, isometric knee extensor torque (Newton metre) and quadriceps muscle thickness (cm). Subgroup analyses were performed on those ...
