This study examined the post-activation potentiation effects of maximal dynamic contractions and gender on rowing sprint ability.
They were requested to reach exhaustion with dynamic contraction at 70% of their own One Repetition Maximal (1RM) using, in two different days and in random order, Thera Band® tubes or traditional weight plates on an arm machine designed and built for those tasks.
However, most studies focused the static relationship between CSA and maximal force (Aagaard et al. 2001; Suetta et al. 2004); and the knowledge about continuous CSA changes during dynamic contraction is still seriously limited.
Progression went from static to dynamic contraction.
On the other hand, Bazett-Jones et al. [ 48] found that maximal RTD was not enhanced one minute after a potentiating protocol consisting of three dynamic contractions with a load of 90% 1RM.
Alternative techniques such as submaximal contractions of dynamic contractions merit future study [21].
Strength was evaluated during three dynamic maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) at a velocity of 60°/s.
26 The classification of cardiovascular intensity sums a static component reflecting maximal voluntary muscle contraction and a dynamic component reflecting maximal oxygen uptake; both were categorised at three levels of intensity low, moderate, and high.
Again, CON and TB-SNC were significantly different from TB-CON during the whole exercise protocol for maximal contraction force and maximal contraction velocity.
