Abstract
BACKGROUND: The systematic characteristics of force generation and relaxation have been investigated using a graded isometric task for several target levels and magnitudes in the upper and lower limb. However, whether a relaxation modality affects the accuracy or speed of grading remains unclear. In addition, speed characteristics are still unclear in both force generation and relaxation modalities. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of force adjustment modalities on force generation and relaxation characteristics. METHODS: Participants were instructed to match a target force level as quickly and as accurately as possible under peak and keep adjustment modalities. The force generation task was increased from 10% to 30%, 50%, and 70% of the maximum voluntary force (MVF). The force relaxation task was decreased from 70% to 50%, 30%, and 10% MVF. The recorded force was analyzed. Errors in reproduction were computed in both modalities and target levels of force. RESULTS: The errors of the peak adjustment modality were greater than those of the keep adjustment modality in both tasks. The reaction time was longer with the peak adjustment modality than with the keep adjustment modality in both tasks. CONCLUSION: Speed was affected by the choice of adjustment modality.
期刊介绍:
Isokinetics and Exercise Science (IES) is an international journal devoted to the study of theoretical and applied aspects of human muscle performance. Since isokinetic dynamometry constitutes the major tool in this area, the journal takes a particular interest in exploring the considerable potential of this technology.
IES publishes studies associated with the methodology of muscle performance especially with respect to the issues of reproducibility and validity of testing, description of normal and pathological mechanical parameters which are derivable from muscle testing, applications in basic research topics such as motor learning paradigms and electromyography. The journal also publishes studies on applications in clinical settings and technical aspects of the various measurement systems employed in human muscle performance research.
The journal welcomes submissions in the form of research papers, reviews, case studies and technical reports from professionals in the fields of sports medicine, orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation and exercise physiology.
