| Popis: | Optimizing joint stiffness through appropriate muscular activation is crucial for maintaining stability and preventing injury. Conditioning techniques may affect joint stability by increasing joint stiffness and altering neuromuscular control; however no studies have assessed this in a controlled setting. Fifteen endurance athletes, 12 power athletes, and 15 control subjects sat on a stiffness device that generated a rapid knee flexion perturbation and were instructed to react to the perturbation. Main outcome measures included short-range (0-4°) and long range (0-40°) stiffness and muscle activation from quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Stiffness results revealed greater short-range stiffness in endurance athletes (0.057 ± 0.012 Nm/deg/kg) than controls (0.047 ± 0.008 Nm/deg/kg |
