Oliva-Lozano 1 and José M. Muyor 1,2,* 1 Health Research Centre, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain; [email protected] (I.M.-F.); [email protected] (J.M.O.-L.) 2 Laboratory of Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Ergonomics (KIBIOMER Lab.), Research Central Services, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950214429 Received: 24 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: Knee joint muscle activation imbalances, especially weakness in the vastus medialis oblique, are related to patellofemoral pain within the female population. The available literature presents the leg press as an exercise which potentially targets vastus medialis oblique activation, thus reducing imbalances in the quadriceps muscles. The main aim of the present study was to compare thigh muscle activation and kinematic parameters under different conditions during the inclined leg press exercise in a young female population. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 10 young, trained females. Muscle activation of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris and gluteus medialis was analyzed under five different inclined leg press conditions, modifying the feet rotation (0–45◦ external rotation) and the stance width (100–150% hip width) on the footplate. All the conditions were performed at two different movement velocities: controlled velocity (2” eccentric–2” concentric) and maximal intended velocity. Mean propulsive velocity, maximum velocity and maximum power were also assessed. The results show that both controlled velocity conditions and maximal intended velocity conditions elicited a similar muscle activation pattern with greater activation during the concentric phase (p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.96).

Twenty-seven women (22.7 3.5 years) were block-randomized ± to three groups: FWS, MS, or control (CON) and completed pre- and post-testing sessions consisting of the squat one-repetition maximum (1-RM), vertical jump, pro-agility test, zig-zag change-of-direction (COD) test, and 30-meter sprint. Participants trained two sessions per week for six weeks by performing jumping, sprinting, and COD drills followed by FWS, MS, or no squats (CON). Peak jump power increased for CON (p = 0.03) and MS (p < 0.01) groups.

  • Effect of Progressive Calisthenic Push-Up Training on Muscle
    EFFECT OF PROGRESSIVE CALISTHENIC PUSH-UP TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH & THICKNESS A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Major Department: Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences March 2016 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Effect of progressive calisthenic push-up training on muscle strength & thickness By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Kyle Hackney, Ph.D. Chair Bryan Christensen, Ph.D. Jason Miller, MS Approved: 3/24/2016 Yeong Rhee, Ph.D. Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Calisthenics, a form of resistance training, continue to increase in popularity; however, few studies have examined their effectiveness for muscle strength improvement. The purpose of this study was to compare progressive calisthenic push-up training (PUSH) to free weight bench press training (BENCH) as techniques to develop muscle strength and thickness. Twenty-three healthy, moderately trained males (mean ± SD: age 23 ± 6.8 years) were randomly assigned to PUSH (n=14) and BENCH (n=9), and trained three days per week for four weeks. Muscle thickness, seated medicine ball put, one repetition max bench press (1RM), and push-up progression (PUP) were measured pre- and post-training. Results revealed significant increases in 1RM (p<0.001) and PUP (p<0.05) for both groups post-training. The increase in PUP, however, was significantly greater for PUSH (p<0.001).

    Thank you for investing in the BodyCraft XPress Strength Training System. We hope you enjoy many healthy years of use. Learning to use and maintain your strength training system is very important for your personal safety and the proper function of the machine. Be sure to read all of the information carefully before using. This information in this guide is general in nature; for detailed information about exercise, consult your physician and your local fi tness dealer. Your local fi tness dealer can provide reputable books and referrals to personal trainers. WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35, or with preexisting health problems. Recreation Supply, Inc. assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property EXERCISE GUIDE damage sustained by or through use of this product. GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES: There are many theories as to the proper number of repetitions and sets of repetitions of any specifi c exercise. In fact, we are all unique individuals and what may be effective for one person may not be for the next. For your specifi c needs, we recommend consultations with your fi tness dealer or a certifi ed personal trainer. For general guidelines, we recommend 6-12 repetitions per set and 2-3 sets per any given exercise. Intensity is more important than the number of reps and sets. The amount a muscle group is stressed (to failure) is directly proportional to the amount of increased strength/growth. Please remember to start easy and increase the total time and the number of repetitions gradually.

Boorstin, a well known historian and author, successfully argues that the first true pioneer of systematic modern exploration was Prince Henry The Navigator of Portugal. In the early 1400s under the leadership of Prince Henry, Portugal began a systematic exploration of unknown lands. This was accomplished by repeatedly sending out explorers. Each one ven- turing farther than the one before, then returned to report their findings to the mapmakers. These mapmakers then gradually constructed more accurate maps and built a foundation that allowed the explorers to venture still farther. This was the first organized cooperation between mapmaker and explorer. This book could never have been written if not for the unreasonable efforts of early explorers and mapmakers in bodybuilding. This book is dedicated to these early pioneers. Vince Gironda Bill Pearl John Grimek Arnold Swarzeneggar (of course) And the current pioneers: Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale Angel Spassov Yuri Verishonski Ivan Ivanov Also: A special thanks to Joe Weider for his untiring efforts to increase the awareness of bodybuilding around the world.
