TL;DR: It might be pertinent to perform, in addition to isokinetic assessment, a vertical jump test on a force platform to assure widespread and reliable diagnostic information.

TL;DR: A brief discussion on the meanings that have been assigned to Player Load, its limitations, and the lack of clear and complete information about Player Load calculation methods concluded that a deeper discussion of Player Load as a descriptor of external load is warranted in the sports sciences literature.

TL;DR: The data obtained in this study show that training protocols conducted with the same TUT, but with different configurations, produce distinct neuromuscular and metabolic responses so that performing higher repetition numbers with shorter repetition durations might be a more appropriate strategy to increase muscle activation and blood lactate concentration.

TL;DR: The results showed an increase in ROMmax for both CA and CT, but the increase was greater for CT than for CA (CA vs. CT in poststretching, p = 0.003), which may be explained by greater changes in the biomechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit and stretch tolerance, as indicated by the results of PS and FSTROM.

TL;DR: These data do not support a linear force-displacement relationship during Maitland grades III and IV passive joint mobilization, although they confirmed an increase in ankle dorsiflexion ROM immediately after joint mobilization.
