AI synopsis

What people are saying

Overall, discussions express support for the article's findings, such as mention of muscle lengthening and hypertrophy benefits, while highlighting the importance of measurement techniques like ultrasound and MRI; the tone suggests a scientific and application-focused engagement with the research, reflecting moderate interest and perceived impact.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions indicate support for the findings, particularly noting that both exercises lead to muscle lengthening and hypertrophy, aligning with the publication's conclusions.

InterestModerate interest

Participants seem moderately interested, referencing specific study results and applications, which suggests a genuine curiosity about the research implications.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments involve detailed references to muscle architecture measurements, including discussions about ultrasound and MRI techniques, demonstrating a moderate depth of engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight practical implications, such as injury prevention and training effectiveness, implying that the article could influence training protocols and further research.

Abstract in brief

  • Both Nordic hamstring (NHE) and hip extension (HE) exercises led to lengthening of the biceps femoris fascicles, with no significant difference between the two methods, suggesting they both effectively improve muscle architecture.
  • Hip extension training resulted in a greater increase in hamstring muscle size (volume), especially in the biceps femoris, indicating it may be more beneficial for muscle hypertrophy compared to NHE.
  • Overall, both exercises contribute to hamstring adaptation that could help in injury prevention, with HE potentially offering additional benefits for muscle growth.]

3/n So, data, https://t.co/dea5ibhW7e. We examined H volume change after 10W high volume hip ext v knee flex (Nordics) training. Hip & knee training do preferentially 'grow' different hamstrings but they do not preferentially grow prox/distal parts of these muscles.

「なぜ、より膝伸展位で筋力が発揮できるようになるのか。」 ノルディックハムなどのエキセンレーニングを行うと、筋束長が伸びる。 この効果は回数には比例せず、十分量が存在しそうな様子。 また、非運動経験者では効果が見られない。 参考文献 https://t.co/ze4zl4nyCo https://t.co/CpanFpfvf1 https://t.co/SxsT74rYsO

@GeorgeDennison1 @davidopar @JackHickey89 @das_shield Hi George. We’ve done CSA measures before in the below from @MBourne5. It is expensive with the need for MRI to measure it...and it’s tough to get cash these days for this type of research. Some ultrasound stuff out there too but poor estimates unless 3D https://t.co/GSNuthBW9g

In support of this point, the authors refer to a study where a 5 week training study of NHC resulted in sig increase in CSA for the ST & BFSh, but not the BFLh & SM. https://t.co/y1fQp0CTtZ
