The purpose of this investigation was to study strength differences following an acute exposure to full and partial range-of-motion (ROM) bench press exercise. In addition, we studied elbow joint action durations (via electrogoniometry) during full ROM and partial ROM one repetition maximum (1RM) and five repetition maximum (5RM) bench press exercise. Five strength-trained, male volunteers, age (mean � SD) 25.6 � 3.36 years, were tested on two separate occasions separated by 4 days. Results…

Effect of Isokinetic Strength Training on Lower Leg Muscle Strength: A Comparison of Full Range and Partial Range of Motion Exercises

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of muscle strength training at full range of motion (ROM) and partial ROM as an aid for developing an effective muscle strength training method. We…

An Examination of Strength and Concentric Work Ratios During Variable Range of Motion Training

Although higher force levels were evident, the restriction in barbell displacement resulted in a subsequent reduction in W as the lifting ROM was reduced.

Range of motion of resistance exercise affects the number of performed repetitions but not a time under tension

M measuring training volume by the number of performed repetitions is not reliable when different exercise range of motion is used, and peak barbell velocity between the cambered and standard barbell bench press training session is shown.

Bench Press at Full Range of Motion Produces Greater Neuromuscular Adaptations Than Partial Executions After Prolonged Resistance Training

The BPFULL stands as the most effective exercise to maximize neuromuscular improvements in recreational and well-trained athletes compared with partial ROM variations.

Force production and muscle activation during partial vs. full range of motion in Paralympic Powerlifting

It is concluded that training with partial ROM enables higher workloads with lower loss of muscle function and post-exercise fatigue was higher with full ROM as well as loss of MIF.

INFLUENCE OF RANGE OF MOTION IN RESISTANCE TRAINING IN WOMEN: EARLY PHASE ADAPTATIONS

Findings indicated that each of the 3 groups experienced an increase in bench-press strength from pre- to posttest, suggesting that lifting through a full range of motion was superior to the other training regimens used in this study.

The Efficacy of Incorporating Partial Squats in Maximal Strength Training

The findings suggest that partial ROM squats in conjunction with full ROM squats may be an effective training method for improving maximal strength and early force-time curve characteristics in men with previous strength training experience.

The Influence of Variable Range of Motion Training on Neuromuscular Performance and Control of External Loads

It is suggested that VROM training improves terminal and midrange performance gains, resulting in the athlete possessing an improved ability to control external loading and produce dynamic force.

Effect of loading on unintentional lifting velocity declines during single sets of repetitions to failure during upper and lower extremity muscle actions.

The major finding in this study was that, for a given muscle action (bench press or parallel squat), the pattern of reduction in the relative average velocity achieved during each repetition and the relative number of repetitions performed was the same for all percentages of 1RM tested.

An Analysis of Full Range of Motion vs. Partial Range of Motion Training in the Development of Strength in Untrained Men

It is appeared that partial range of motion training can positively influence the development of maximal strength, and those involved in the strength and conditioning profession can confidently including this method as an adjunct to their normal training protocols when working with individuals similar to those found in this investigation.

Effect of resistance training on lumbar extension strength

Data indicate that when the lumbar area is iso lated through pelvic stabilization, the isolated lumbr extensor muscles show an abnormally large potential for strength increase.

Specificity of limited range of motion variable resistance training.

Isometric strength gains for the limited ROM trained groups were greater in the trained ROM than in the untrained ROM and compared to the control group, all training groups improved in isometric strength.

Limited range-of-motion lumbar extension strength training.

Data indicate that limited ROM lumbar extension training through a 36 degrees ROM is effective for developing strength through 72 degrees of lumbr extension.

Changes in overall fatness, muscularity, and muscle + bone cross-sectional area of the limbs did not differ between groups, and improvements in free weight bench press and squat were similar.
