Changes in contractile properties after 24 weeks of stretching exercise
(Master thesis, 2014)Introduction: The effects of long-term stretching training and chronic stretching regimens on muscle performance have not yet been systematically investigated on a wider scale. Studies that have investigated possible ... -
Differences in properties of the triceps surae muscle-tendon unit in Maasai jumpers and Caucasian controls during repetitive jumping
(Master thesis, 2016-08-16)Purpose. The present study examined the anthropological features in ten Maasai males and investigated their muscle-tendon unit (MTU) function during repetitive jumping via fascicle behavior. The obtained data was compared ... -
Differences in properties of the triceps surea muscle tendon unit in professional dancers and active controls: a cross-sectional s[t]udy with emphasis on stretching exercise
(Master thesis, 2014)Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to compare structural- and mechanical properties in the triceps surae muscle-tendon unit system (MTU) of professional dancers with >15 years of systematic stretching to a control ... -
Effect of resistance training on patella tendon mechanical properties and performance in endurance trained women
(Master thesis, 2014)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of concomitant resistance training and endurance on patella tendon (PT) mechanical properties in endurance trained women. We also wanted to ... -
Muscle mechanics in diagonal stride cross-country skiing and the effect of speed and incline
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: In gaits, such as running and walking, decoupling of the muscle fascicles length changes from the length changes of whole muscle-tendon unit (MTU), allows muscle fascicles to work almost isometrically and close ... -
Muskel og sene samspill hos idrettsutøvere med ulike krav til muskel og senesystemet i beina
(Master thesis, 2008)Hensikten med denne studien var å se på mekaniske og strukturelle egenskaper i muskulatur og sener i strekkapparatet hos idrettsutøvere med forskjellige krav til prestasjon. Det ble sett på to forskjellige typer idrettsutøvere; ... -
Muskel-senesystemet hos elite volleyballspillere med og uten hopperkne (jumper's knee): Med hovedvekt på spenst og patellarsenens mekaniske og materielle egenskaper
(Master thesis, 2012)Innledning: Hopperkne (jumper’s knee; patellar tendinopati) er en belastningsskade i patellarsenen, der en prevalens på hele 45% har blitt rapportert hos mannlige volleyballspillere. I tillegg har det blitt rapportert at ... -
Muskel-senesystemets egenskaper hos tre ulike grupper idrettsutøvere med forskjellige arbeidskrav til underekstremiteten
(Master thesis, 2010)Formålet med denne studien var å få økt kunnskap om muskel-senesystemets struktur, egenskaper og funksjon hos tre ulike grupper idrettsutøvere: styrke- og vektløfterne (n=8, 24,8 ± 6,2 år; 177 ± 10 cm; 100 ± 24,5 kg), ... -
Sammeheng mellom sideforskjell i akillessenelengde og sideforskjell i tåhevfunksjon 6-12 mnd. etter en akillessenereptur: en tverrsnittstudie
(Master thesis, 2017)Bakgrunn: Tåhevfunksjonen er avgjørende for hvor fornøyd pasienten er etter en akillesseneruptur. Sideforskjeller i akillessenelengden er antatt å forårsake nedsatt tåhevfunksjon. Formål: Undersøke sammenhengen mellom ... -
The effects of load bearing on muscle-tendon interaction during locomotion
(Master thesis, 2014)The purpose of this study was to investigate the separate and combined effects of speed and external loading on muscle-tendon interaction and length change during locomotion. We hypothesised that due to the increased ... -
The role of Achilles tendon properties in the mechanical function of the human triceps surae
(Doctoral thesis, 2019)The mechanical output of the muscle-tendon unit (MTU) is in part governed by the viscoelastic nature of tendinous tissues. The tendon contributes to beneficial contractile conditions during various types of movement. Yet, ...
