Effects of stretch-shortening cycle training on mechanical properties and fibre type transition in the rat soleus muscle
The effects of exercise training on mechanical properties and fibre type transitions have been investigated in rat soleus muscle. The exercise was a repetition of stretch-shortening cycles. A method of dual co...

Quantification of T- and H-responses before and after a period of endurance training
Tendon (T-) and Hoffmann (H-) responses in the soleus muscle were quantified either separately or in association to compare the mononeurons activated and to study their changes after a period of endurance trai...

Stiffness changes and fibre type transitions in rat soleus muscle produced by jum** training
Rat soleus muscles were overloaded with intent to induce a relative increase in fast fibres and modifications in muscular stiffness. The overloading technique was a training period consisting of an 11-week ver...

Effect of antagonistic contractions on the reflex response of a bifunctional muscle
With reference to the concept that contraction of a muscle can be inhibited by contraction of its antagonists, the excitability of a bifunctional muscle, the soleus (plantarflexor and adductor) was studied dur...

Synergy between bifunctional muscles at the ankle joint
The activation of antagonistic muscles is studied during isometric combined contractions of bifunctional muscles. It is established that the co-contraction mechanism observed in such situations limits unwanted...

Contribution des muscles biceps brachii et pronator teres à l'effort de prono-supination
The electrical activity of the biceps brachii and pronator teres muscles is studied through the prono-supination of the forearm in some anisometrical conditions (dynamic work) when the inertia of the mobile sy...

Contribution des muscles biceps brachii et pronator teres à l'effort de prono-supination
The electrical activity of the biceps brachii and pronator teres muscles is studied through the prono-supination of the forearm in some isometrical conditions (static work) with different loads and joint posit...
