Functional effects of inertial training of the upper extremity

Article Abstract:

A study conducted to determine the effects of inertial training on selected functional components of throwing is discussed. A device called Impulse Inertial Trainer that was selected for the inertial training revealed that for experienced throwers, functional measures and muscle activity were not affected by inertial training of the upper extremity.

The relationship between lower extremity isokinetic work and single-leg functional hop-work test

Article Abstract:

It is determined if incorporating body weight in the single-leg hop for distance increases the correlation to isokinetic strength measures. The use of body weight in the assessment of distance hopped provides better information about the patient's lower extremity strength and the ability than the distance hopped alone.
