1. 01

   The effect of neuromuscular training on the incidence of knee injury in female athletes. A prospective study.

   The American journal of sports medicine·1999200 influential citations

   To prospectively evaluate the effect of neuromuscular training on the incidence of knee injury in female athletes, we monitored two groups of female athletes, one trained before sports participation and the other not trained, and a group…

2. 02

   Adaptations in coactivation after isometric resistance training.

   Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)·1992182 influential citations

   Twenty sedentary male university students were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. The experimental group trained the knee extensors of one leg by producing 30 isometric extension maximal voluntary contractions (MVC)…

3. 03

   Neural adaptation to resistance training: changes in evoked V-wave and H-reflex responses.

   Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)·2002164 influential citations

   Combined V-wave and Hoffmann (H) reflex measurements were performed during maximal muscle contraction to examine the neural adaptation mechanisms induced by resistance training. The H-reflex can be used to assess the excitability of spinal…

4. 04

   The nature of the training response; peripheral and central adaptations of one-legged exercise.

   Acta physiologica Scandinavica·1976147 influential citations

   13 male subjects were studied and placed in 3 groups. Each group exercised one leg with sprint (S), or endurance (E) training and the other leg oppositely or not at all (NT). Oxygen uptake (Vo2), heart rate and blood lactate were measured…

5. 05

   Postactivation potentiation response in athletic and recreationally trained individuals.

   Journal of strength and conditioning research·2003·n=17131 influential citations

   To determine if training status directly impacted the response to postactivation potentiation, athletes in sports requiring explosive strength (ATH; n = 7) were compared to recreationally trained (RT; n = 17) individuals. Over the course…

6. 06

   Human hamstring muscles adapt to eccentric exercise by changing optimum length.

   Medicine and science in sports and exercise·2001·n=10125 influential citations

   <h4>Purpose</h4>It is now established that unaccustomed eccentric exercise leads to muscle fiber damage and to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in the days after exercise. However, a second bout of eccentric exercise, a week after the…

7. 07

   A comparison of 2 rehabilitation programs in the treatment of acute hamstring strains.

   The Journal of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy·2004104 influential citations

   <h4>Study design</h4>Prospective randomized comparison of 2 rehabilitation programs.<h4>Objectives</h4>The objectives of this study were to compare the effectiveness of 2 rehabilitation programs for acute hamstring strain by evaluating…

8. 08

   Myosin heavy chain IIX overshoot in human skeletal muscle.

   Muscle &amp; nerve·200091 influential citations

   The distribution of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms, fiber type composition, and fiber size of the vastus lateralis muscle were analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate polymerase gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), ATPase histochemistry, and…

9. 09

   Changes in the eccentric phase contribute to improved stretch-shorten cycle performance after training.

   Medicine and science in sports and exercise·2010·n=890 influential citations

   <h4>Purpose</h4>To determine whether ballistic power training and strength training result in specific changes in stretch-shorten cycle (SSC) function during the eccentric (ECC) phase and, if so, whether these changes are influenced by the…

10. 10

    Increasing hamstring flexibility decreases lower extremity overuse injuries in military basic trainees.

    The American journal of sports medicine·1999·n=15081 influential citations

    The purpose of this intervention study was to prove that increasing flexibility of the hamstring musculotendinous unit would decrease the number of lower extremity overuse injuries that occur in military infantry basic trainees. Two…
