Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of force and muscle stimulation in human vertical jumping
TL;DR: It was concluded that the time it takes to develop muscle stimulation has a substantial effect on the dynamics of force development in vertical jumping, and that this effect should not be neglected in studies of the control of explosive movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of maximal and submaximal vertical jumps
TL;DR: The results fit in with theories on the existence of generalized motor programs within the central nervous system, the output of which is determined by the setting of parameters such as amplitude and relative timing of control signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
From twitch to tetanus for human muscle: experimental data and model predictions for m-triceps surae
TL;DR: The results suggest that the linear summation of responses to individual stimuli can indeed give an adequate description of the process of human muscle excitation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of vertical jumping performance to changes in muscle stimulation onset times: a simulation study
TL;DR: It was found that with increasing RT, the sensitivity of jump height to timing of stimulation onset times decreased, and it is speculated that human subjects decrease or increase RT depending on the relative importance of different performance criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Effectiveness of Force Application in Guided Leg Movements
TL;DR: The muscle stimulation pattern that resulted in the highest effective force coincided with a low force effectiveness, which is apparently a prerequisite for maximal power transfer from the muscles to the plate in these guided movements.
