Samples in periodicals archive:
Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) decreased similarly during the control (0 mmHg) and 98 mmHg external compression bout (~18%); the decline in MVC with 121 and 147 mmHg external compression was significantly greater (~37%).
Each session included the following stages: setup, determination of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), habituation to the stimulus, determination of the maximal electrically induced contraction (MEIC), extended voluntary contraction, and a fatigue test (a summary of the sequence of events is presented in Tab.
Each maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the quadriceps muscle was sustained for ~3 seconds with a rest period of 60 seconds in between.
19) Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction Peak EMG amplitude was recorded during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) performed for the knee extensor muscles (at 10[degrees] and 90[degrees]), knee flexor muscles (at 10[degrees] and 90[degrees]), and hip extensor muscles (at 0[degrees] and 90[degrees]).
Maximal voluntary isometric contraction of this muscle group has previously been investigated, (16) as have tests of sustained submaximal contractions.
Each test session consisted of 6 components: a warm-up period, setup, determination of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), a dosing phase, a resting period, and a testing phase.
Muscle Force and Voluntary Activation Measurement All subjects participated in a measurement session of a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the quadriceps femoris muscle with a burst superimposition technique.
Maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) were performed, and peak torque was recorded.
