Chronic training status affects muscle excitation of the vastus lateralis during repeated contractions
(Elsevier, 2023-01-02)This study examined electromyographic amplitude (EMGRMS)-force relationships during repeated submaximal knee extensor muscle actions among chronic aerobically-(AT), resistance-trained (RT), and sedentary (SED) individuals. ... -
The Importance of Lower Body Strength and Power for Future Success in Professional Men’s Basketball
(Paneuropean University Apeiron, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2020)Heavy resistance exercise is often prescribed for collegiate basketball players to enhance game performance, but few data are available concerning the transference of lower body strength and power to the opportunity to ... -
Physical and Performance Characteristics of 3×3 Professional Male Basketball Players
(MDPI, 2023-01-12)Despite exponential growth in popularity over the last decade and recently becoming an Olympic sport, the amount of scientific literature focused on depicting a profile of successful 3×3 basketball players is sparse. Thus, ... -
Assessment of Countermovement Jump: What Should We Report?
(MDPI, 2023-01-09)The purpose of the present study was (i) to explore the reliability of the most commonly used countermovement jump (CMJ) metrics, and (ii) to reduce a large pool of metrics with acceptable levels of reliability via principal ... -
Repeatability of Motion Health Screening Scores Acquired from a Three-Dimensional Markerless Motion Capture System
(MDPI, 2022-09-02)The purpose of the present study was to examine the repeatability of five algorithm-derived motion health screening scores (i.e., readiness, explosiveness, functionality, quality, and dysfunction) obtained from an innovative ... -
Relationship between Upper and Lower Body Strength and Basketball Shooting Performance
(MDPI, 2022-09-20)Strength is one of the key physiological performance attributes related to optimal on-court basketball performance. However, there is a lack of scientific literature studying how strength relates to shooting proficiency, ... -
Impact of Distance and Proficiency on Shooting Kinematics in Professional Male Basketball Players
(MDPI, 2022-09-30)Shooting efficiency is one of the key performance parameters related to securing the desired game outcome at various levels of basketball competition, and it is largely influenced by the biomechanical adjustments incorporated ... -
Remote, Whole-Body Interval Training Improves Muscular Endurance and Cardiac Autonomic Control in Young Adults
(MDPI, 2022-10-26)High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an exercise modality acknowledged to maintain physical fitness with more engagement in an active lifestyle compared with other traditional exercise models. Nevertheless, its effects ... -
The Influence of Instructor Behaviors and the Perceived Motivational Climate on Undergraduate Students’ Experiences in College STEM Laboratories
(American Society for Cell Biology, 2022-11-01)Biology laboratory instructors play a key role in creating an optimal environment where college students try hard and enjoy their classroom experiences. This study used achievement goal perspective theory to examine the ... -
Acute muscle swelling effects of a knee rehabilitation exercise performed with and without blood flow restriction
(Public Library of Science, 2022-12-22)This study assessed the acute effect of adding blood flow restriction (BFR) to quad sets on muscle-cross sectional area (mCSA), muscle thickness (MT), echo intensity (EI), and subcutaneous fat-normalized EI (EINORM) of the ... -
Game statistics that discriminate winning and losing at the NBA level of basketball competition
